Reviewing the Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 (4G model), a budget smartphone offering brilliant battery life, a 108MP camera and a gorgeous AMOLED screen. For under £200 UK, the Redmi Note 15 is stunning value - with a 5G model also available for a slight price bump.
I've been testing this affordable Xiaomi phone for a few days now, so here's what I think of the gaming abilities, camera experience etc. Check out my round-up of the best budget phones for more ideas!
First up, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 is one of the best options at this price for battery performance. Like the Motorola G06 Power, you'll happily make it through a weekend on one charge, if you don't go too crazy. Obviously, a lot of camera play and gaming will drain it faster.
The Redmi Note 15 4G runs older HyperOS 2, and don't expect many OS updates, although Xiaomi's security patch commitment is surprisingly good. The gaming experience wasn't as horrific as I expected, while you get a beautiful screen and expandable storage too.
That's my review of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 15, let us know what you think below!
