Redmi Note 15 series quietly leaks in Europe with full specs, prices and colors

The Redmi Note 15 family has not even appeared at a big global keynote yet, but in Europe the new phones are already quietly popping up on retailer sites and in carrier catalogs.

Multiple early listings for the Redmi Note 15, Redmi Note 15 Pro and Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G across Italy and Germany reveal prices, memory configurations, colors and most of the key specs, long before Xiaomi has officially presented the series on stage.

This kind of semi-silent rollout is becoming something of a tradition for Redmi’s mid-range portfolio, yet the scope of these Note 15 leaks gives us an unusually complete picture of how Xiaomi wants to position each model. Across the range you see a clear focus on large OLED displays, high-resolution main cameras and big batteries with reasonably fast charging, but each device still targets a slightly different type of buyer and price bracket inside the upper-budget and mid-range space.

Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G quietly goes on sale in Italy

In Italy, the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G has been listed by retailers for around €289, and in some cases you can even place an order despite the phone not being officially announced. At that price, the phone is offered with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, a combination that only a few years ago would have been reserved for much more expensive devices and now lands firmly in the affordable mid-range.

The product description confirms several headline specifications. The Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G is built around a 6.77-inch OLED panel with Full HD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. That combination should deliver deep blacks, vibrant colors and slick animations both in everyday apps and in games, making the screen one of the big selling points of this model.

Under the hood sits MediaTek’s Helio G200, a recent mid-tier chipset tuned for efficiency and solid everyday performance rather than chasing flagship numbers. Where the phone does go for headline-grabbing specs is the camera: the main rear sensor clocks in at 200MP, a figure that would have sounded like pure fantasy in this segment not too long ago. Powering all of this is a 6,500 mAh battery with 45W wired charging, promising comfortable all-day use and reasonably quick top-ups.

Vanilla Redmi Note 15 aims at contract customers in Germany

Germany is where the standard Redmi Note 15 is already making noise, particularly through aggressive carrier bundles. One major operator lists the phone for as little as €6.99 with a monthly contract, with shipping scheduled to start next week according to the early listings. Color options include classic Black and a cooler Glacier Blue, both aimed at mainstream tastes rather than flashy gradients.

On paper, the regular Redmi Note 15 does not look like a stripped-down budget device at all. It keeps the same 6.77-inch OLED screen size as the Pro 4G, with a resolution of 2,392 x 1,080 pixels for crisp text and video. The move to OLED at this price point is important: it helps Xiaomi differentiate the Note 15 from LCD-equipped rivals and gives users a more premium viewing experience for movies, social media and gaming.

Inside, Xiaomi is partnering with Qualcomm and equipping the Note 15 with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 platform. This chip is designed to provide a good balance of efficiency and performance, giving enough headroom for multitasking, smooth scrolling and respectable gaming without putting too much stress on the battery. On the camera front, the phone features a 108MP main sensor, which still firmly plants the device in high-resolution territory, even if it does not reach the 200MP mark of its Pro siblings.

The battery is another highlight: a 5,520 mAh silicon-carbon (Si-C) cell paired with 45W charging. Si-C tech is designed to improve energy density and long-term durability, which should translate into strong battery life and less degradation over time. Combined with Xiaomi’s fast charging implementation, the Note 15 should be easy to top up during a quick coffee break or while getting ready in the morning.

Redmi Note 15 Pro: the most powerful entry in the lineup

The Redmi Note 15 Pro sits at the top of this trio and, according to German carrier listings, is expected to retail for about €399 without a contract. Mobile operators are already preparing various monthly plans around it, and buyers will be able to choose between Titanium, Black and Glacier Blue finishes, giving the Pro a more premium visual identity compared to the regular model.

The display steps up to a 6.83-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2,772 x 1,280 pixels. It is slightly larger and sharper than the screens on the other two models, and should appeal to users who watch a lot of video content, read on their phones or enjoy mobile gaming. With AMOLED technology, you also get punchy colors and deep blacks, which blend nicely with MIUI’s dark mode and always-on display options.

Driving everything is MediaTek’s Dimensity 7400-Ultra chipset. Compared to the Helio G-series silicon in the Pro 4G, this platform promises much stronger CPU and GPU performance, smoother frame rates and better support for 5G connectivity where available. In practical terms, that should mean snappier app launches, more consistent performance in heavier games and a bit more future-proofing for power users who keep their phones for several years.

Once again, Xiaomi leans on a 200MP main camera for the Note 15 Pro, emphasizing photography as a central pillar of the series. High-resolution shots, tighter crops and detailed daylight photos should be the norm if Xiaomi’s image processing delivers. Keeping all of this running is a 6,580 mAh Si-C battery with fast charging support, slightly larger than the one on the vanilla Note 15 and underlining the focus on endurance across the entire lineup.

What these leaks reveal about Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 15 strategy

Taken together, the Italian and German listings reveal a very deliberate structure to the Redmi Note 15 family in Europe. The standard Note 15 is clearly designed as the crowd-pleaser, especially for contract customers who want a modern OLED screen, big battery and capable camera at a low upfront cost. The Note 15 Pro 4G serves buyers who value camera hardware and battery life more than 5G, squeezing a 200MP sensor and large cell into a sub-€300 package. At the top, the Note 15 Pro nudges the series into more premium territory with a larger, sharper AMOLED display, a significantly stronger Dimensity 7400-Ultra chipset and a slightly bigger Si-C battery.

With all three devices apparently available to order even before Xiaomi’s global launch event, European shoppers already have an unusually detailed preview of what to expect. The only real unknowns now are which configurations will reach specific markets, how pricing may shift once official promotions kick in and whether Xiaomi plans any limited-edition colors or bundles. What is clear is that the Redmi Note 15 series is shaping up to be one of the most aggressively specced mid-range lineups of the year, combining large OLED screens, high-megapixel cameras and hefty batteries at prices that will put pressure on rivals across Europe.
