Redmi Note 15 India Launch on January 6, 2026: 108MP Master Pixel Edition, Expected Specs and Price

The Redmi Note 15 series is finally gearing up for its India debut, and December 9, 2025 has turned into a big news day for Xiaomi fans. Multiple reports and official teasers now confirm that the Redmi Note 15 5G — including a special 108MP “Master Pixel” Edition — will launch in India on January 6, 2026, with Pro and Pro Plus siblings expected to follow soon after. ^[1]

Below is everything that’s been reported today about the Redmi Note 15 India launch date, specifications, design, and expected price, based on official teasers and fresh leaks.

India launch date finally confirmed

Until now, the Redmi Note 15 series launch timeline in India was based largely on tipster reports pointing to late 2025 or early 2026. Those rumours have effectively solidified today:

Redmi has put up a dedicated landing page on Amazon India for the Redmi Note 15 5G, confirming that the phone will be announced on January 6, 2026. ^[2]
The same date is being cited across multiple outlets along with confirmation that this is the “108 Master Pixel Edition” aimed at camera-focused buyers. ^[3]

Several reports also suggest that only the standard Redmi Note 15 5G (Master Pixel Edition) will launch on January 6, while the Redmi Note 15 Pro and Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus could arrive in a later wave, most likely in February 2026 for the Indian market. ^[4]

For context, the Note 15 series was launched in China earlier in 2025, so India is part of the second wave of global rollouts. ^[5]

Design and the 108MP “Master Pixel” Edition

Official teasers and fresh coverage today have focused heavily on design, especially for the Redmi Note 15 5G 108 Master Pixel Edition:

The phone is shown with a slim profile and a curved display, a design element usually reserved for more premium mid-range or flagship devices. ^[6]
The left frame appears clean, with power and volume buttons on the right, suggesting a minimalist side profile. ^[7]
Multiple teasers and reports mention a metal frame, hinting at an upgrade in build quality compared to older Redmi Note models. ^[8]

The “Master Pixel” tag is clearly tied to the 108MP main rear camera on the standard Redmi Note 15 5G, which marks a substantial jump over the 50MP primary cameras seen on many previous Redmi Notes. ^[9]

Redmi Note 15 (India model): expected specifications

Xiaomi hasn’t officially published the full spec sheet for the India variant, but tipsters and regulatory leaks have painted a fairly consistent picture — with a few small contradictions.

Based on reports collated today and earlier this month, the Redmi Note 15 5G for India is expected to offer: ^[10]

Display
- Around 6.8–6.83‑inch AMOLED display
- Full-HD+ resolution
- 120Hz refresh rate
Processor
- Most leaks point to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 or the closely related Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 for the global/India model. ^[11]
RAM and storage
- At least 8GB RAM and 256GB storage on higher variants, with lower memory options expected at launch. ^[12]
Battery and charging
- A battery rated slightly above 5,500mAh, with leaks putting the figure at around 5,520mAh
- 45W fast charging support ^[13]
Cameras
- 108MP main rear camera
- 8MP ultra‑wide lens
- 20MP front camera for selfies and video calls ^[14]
Software
- Android 15‑based HyperOS 2 out of the box on the India variant, according to multiple leaks. ^[15]
Build & durability
- IP65 dust and water resistance rating has been tipped for the base model.
- Thickness reportedly around 7.3mm and weight in the 170–178g range, depending on which leak you believe. ^[16]

Why leaks don’t fully agree yet

If you’ve noticed that different reports mention 6.8 inches, 6.77 inches, or 6.83 inches for the display, you’re not alone. Likewise, some mention Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, while others say Snapdragon 6s Gen 3. These variations likely stem from:

Different testing or regional prototypes being cited in separate leaks
Slightly different measurement conventions (rounded vs precise diagonals)
Ongoing firmware and hardware tuning before the global launch

Until Xiaomi publishes the official spec sheet, it’s safest to treat all hardware details as “expected” rather than final.

Redmi Note 15 Pro and Pro Plus: what to expect

Even though January 6 is all about the standard Note 15 5G, Indian buyers are also keen on the Pro and Pro Plusvariants, especially given how aggressively Xiaomi has spec’d them in China and in leaks for global markets.

According to detailed spec dumps and tipster reports: ^[17]

Display and build

Both Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G and Note 15 Pro Plus 5G are expected to feature a 6.83‑inch AMOLED or pOLED panel.
Resolution is tipped at 1.5K, with a 120Hz refresh rate and very high peak brightness (around flagship levels).
Several reports mention Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on the front and an IP68 water‑ and dust‑resistance rating, which would put these models near the top of the mid-range durability ladder. ^[18]

Performance

Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G
- Expected to use MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra, a 4nm chipset designed for efficient, upper mid-range performance.
Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus 5G
- Leaks point to Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, with higher-clocked cores and better sustained performance for gaming and multitasking. ^[19]

Cameras

Both Pro models are widely tipped to step up to a 200MP primary rear camera, paired with an 8MP ultra‑wideand a secondary macro sensor. ^[20]
Front cameras are expected to be 20MP on the Pro and up to 32MP on the Pro Plus, especially in European/global variants. ^[21]

Battery and charging

Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G
- Around 6,580mAh battery
- 45W fast charging ^[22]
Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus 5G
- 6,500mAh battery
- Up to 100W wired fast charging in certain markets ^[23]

Real‑world Indian variants could tweak these numbers slightly (especially charging speeds), but the theme is clear: big batteries, very large camera sensors, and brighter, curved displays.

Expected Redmi Note 15 price in India

Xiaomi hasn’t announced Indian pricing, but there are two useful clues:

Indian leak-based estimates
Recent India‑focused reports consistently place the phones in the familiar ₹20,000–₹35,000 Redmi Note price band: ^[24]
- Redmi Note 15: around ₹20,000 starting price
- Redmi Note 15 Pro: roughly ₹27,000–₹30,000
- Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus: close to ₹35,000
European leaked pricing for the global models
A major leak of EU pricing suggested: ^[25]
- Note 15 5G at €299
- Note 15 Pro 5G at €399
- Note 15 Pro+ 5G at €499
After adjusting for local taxes and Xiaomi’s usual India strategy, those numbers align quite well with the ₹20k–₹35k bracket suggested in Indian leaks.

Earlier coverage also noted that Xiaomi tends to price the Pro models similar to their predecessors; the Note 14 Pro+ in India, for example, started at ₹30,999. That supports the idea that Xiaomi will keep the Note 15 lineup in the upper‑mid segment rather than pushing into flagship territory. ^[26]

Where Redmi Note 15 fits in Xiaomi’s India lineup

The Note 15 series isn’t launching in isolation. Xiaomi is simultaneously expanding its budget 5G lineup with devices like the Redmi 15C 5G, which offers a 6,000mAh battery, 50MP camera, and Android 15 at aggressive pricing. ^[27]

That means:

Redmi 15C 5G will likely anchor the entry-level 5G segment.
Redmi Note 15 will target mainstream buyers wanting a balanced all-rounder under or around ₹20,000.
Redmi Note 15 Pro and Pro Plus will go after users who want curved AMOLED displays, IP68 protection, huge batteries, and 200MP cameras without paying flagship prices. ^[28]

At the same time, the Note 15 family will be up against Realme’s 16 series, iQOO’s Neo lineup, and Vivo’s V-series, all of which are pushing high-resolution cameras, curved screens, and larger batteries into similar price brackets. ^[29]

Should you wait for the Redmi Note 15?

If you’re currently using a Redmi Note 12 or Note 13‑generation phone, the Note 15 lineup is shaping up to be a meaningful upgrade:

A bigger, brighter 120Hz AMOLED screen
More efficient 6‑series and 7‑series Snapdragon / Dimensity chipsets
Much larger batteries with 45W–100W charging, depending on the model
Stronger water‑resistance ratings and more premium materials
A major camera bump to 108MP on the base model and 200MP on the Pros ^[30]

However, until Xiaomi holds the official India launch on January 6, 2026, all specifications and prices remain subject to change. If you’re happy with your current device and can wait a few weeks, it makes sense to hold off, watch the actual launch event, and compare final Indian pricing with rivals launching around the same time.

Bottom line

Launch date (India): January 6, 2026 for the Redmi Note 15 5G (108 Master Pixel Edition)
Pro / Pro Plus: Expected to arrive later, likely in February 2026
Key highlights: Curved AMOLED screens, 108MP/200MP cameras, big batteries, and IP‑rated designs
Expected price range: Around ₹20,000–₹35,000 across the three models

For now, the Redmi Note 15 series looks set to give Xiaomi a very strong start to 2026 in India’s mid-range market — especially for buyers who care about camera quality and battery life as much as raw performance.
