As Xiaomi marks its 15th anniversary, on Tuesday (August 19) it launched the new budget REDMI 15 series in India.
The latest Android phone sports a massive 6.9-inch full HD+ full HD+ (2340 x 1080p) LCD screen with 144Hz adaptive refresh rate, and supports 700nits peak brightness. It also comes with an IP64 dust-and-water-splash-resistant rating.
It also features a hybrid dual-SIM tray (nano SIM-1 + nano SIM-2 or microSD card), a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, an infrared sensor, a Type-C USB port, loud loudspeaker tuned with Dolby audio system, Wi-Fi 6 802.11 ac (dual-band: 2.4GHz + 5GHz) and Bluetooth 5.1.
Inside, the Xiaomi phone is powered by a 6nm class Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 octa-core processor with 900MHz Adreno 619 GPU. It can clock a peak CPU speed of 2.3GHz, which is more than enough to run most of the popular battle royale genre gaming titles.
