Redmi has brought another value-focused 5G smartphone to India in the form of the Redmi 15C 5G. It targets users who want a big display, long battery life and smooth performance without spending flagship-level money. Positioned clearly as a budget phone, it tries to balance everyday features with a few modern extras like a 120Hz screen and 5G.
Product Info
The Redmi 15C sits in the entry-level 5G segment but borrows several features from higher tiers. You get a 6.9-inch HD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate, a massive 6,000mAh battery and a 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 6300 octa core processor. It runs HyperOS 2 based on Android 15, with 5G support out of the box.
Features
- 6.9-inch HD+ display with 120Hz AdaptiveSync refresh rate
- MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G octa core processor
- Up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage (expandable via microSD)
- 50MP AI dual rear camera + 8MP front camera
- 6,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging
- Side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 5G SA/NSA, dual SIM
Colors & Design
Redmi 15C 5G follows a flat-frame design with slightly curved edges for better grip. The camera module has a raised “floating crater” look which makes it stand out in the budget segment. The phone comes in three colours:
- Moonlight Blue – light and trendy
- Dusk Purple – more playful and youthful
- Midnight Black – classic and subtle
Despite packing a 6,000mAh battery, Redmi has kept the profile fairly slim around 8 mm, so it doesn’t feel overly bulky in hand.

Performance (Battery, Processor, Camera)
The Dimensity 6300 chipset is built for efficient 5G use and day-to-day performance. For typical tasks like social media, streaming and light gaming, the phone should handle things smoothly, especially when paired with up to 8GB RAM.
Battery is the clear highlight. The 6,000mAh cell, combined with HD+ resolution and 6nm processor, promises all-day and often two-day usage for moderate users. The 33W charger helps top up the battery quickly when needed.
On the camera front, the 50MP rear sensor aims to deliver clean daylight photos with decent detail. The 8MP front camera is tuned for social media selfies and video calls. As expected in this price bracket, night shots are usable but not the main selling point.
