Xiaomi recently confirmed the arrival of the REDMI Note 15 Series in Cebu, Philippines, on January 15, 2026.

We received one of them, the best of the Series, the REDMI NOTE 15 Pro+ 5G.

Unfortunately, the software of our unit is not yet the retail version, so we have limited information about the new smartphone.

But conveniently, the REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G was already released in Europe with key specifications.

While the Philippine variant of the REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G could be slightly different, we won't be surprised if they have a lot in common.

To recap, the EU variant features an IP66 + IP68 + IP69 + IP69K dust and water-resistant body, 6.83-inch AMOLED screen with a 2712 x 1220 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, an In-Display fingerprint sensor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 octa-core processor, 6,500mAh large battery, USB-C 100W fast wired charging, a 200MP main cam, and a 32MP selfie cam.

The Philippine variant of the REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G could be slightly different.

Let's take a closer look and open the box.

Unboxing/Accessories

REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G's packaging

It comes with a white box with a bright red rectangle in front with the Xiaomi REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G branding and the highlight feature, a 6,500mAh battery with 100W HyperCharge, and the new 200MP Ultimate Clarity camera.

The box also says that it is running on HyperOS and that the unit we received comes with 12GB RAM and 512GB of storage.

Inside the box is the REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G in black, USB-C to USB-A cable, 100W HyperCharge wall plug, SIM ejector tool, black silicone case, and documentation.

Similar to many modern smartphones, unfortunately, the box does not include earphones.

Build Quality/Design

REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G's unique design

At first glance, the phone is immediately eye-catching because of its unique camera bump, its squarish shape with curves, and its black frosted rear panel design. 

On the camera bump is the "200MP OIS Camera," while near the bottom of the rear panel are the REDMI branding and regulatory information.

REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G's front panel

In front is the bright screen with curved corners and a 60 to 120Hz refresh rate.

Around the panel are slim symmetrical bezels. Above the punch hole is the slim earpiece.

REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G's top and bottom sides

On top is a microphone and the first set of speaker grills, while at the bottom are the second set of speaker grills, USB-C cable, a microphone, and the SIM tray.

REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G's SIM Tray

The SIM tray accommodates up to two nano SIM cards. There is a red rubber gasket that indicates some form of water resistance.

On the left is a smooth surface, while on the right is the black metal volume rocker and black metal power button. Both have a satisfying feel when clicked.

REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G's rear camera module

Upon a closer look at the rear camera module, there are two cameras and an LED flash. It is safe to say that the main camera is the 200MP sensor, while the other camera is an ultra-wide camera based on the shape of the external lens element of the second camera.

Because there are two sets of speaker grills, it has stereo speakers.
