Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus price leaks for India with attractive pre-booking offers

The Redmi Note series has always walked the fine line between “mid-range killer” and “almost-flagship,” and the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus looks ready to test that boundary again. Just days ahead of its expected India launch on January 29, a fresh price leak has stirred serious conversation, and a bit of controversy, among Xiaomi fans.

According to noted tipster Abhishek Yadav on X, the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus will reportedly start at Rs 38,999 for the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. If this leak holds true, Redmi is clearly pushing the Note series into premium territory, something that would have sounded unthinkable just a few years ago.

Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus display and design

The Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus features a massive 6.83-inch quad-curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1.5K resolution. It supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, hits up to 3200 nits peak brightness, and is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

This is one of the best displays you’ll find outside true flagship phones. It’s immersive, flashy and clearly designed for binge-watchers and gamers.

Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus camera setup

Redmi is sticking to its high-megapixel formula. The Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus packs a 200MP Samsung HP-series primary camera with OIS, paired with an 8MP ultra-wide sensor. On the front, you get a solid 32MP selfie camera.

This setup isn’t just about numbers anymore. With OIS, better processing and 4K video support, Redmi is clearly targeting content creators and social media-heavy users.

Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus performance 

Internally, the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, built on a 4nm process. It’s not a flagship chip, but it’s efficient, stable and powerful enough for gaming, multitasking and long-term use.

Out of the box, the phone boots Android 15 with HyperOS 2, and Xiaomi promises up to four major Android updates. That’s a big plus in 2025, where software support matters almost as much as hardware.

Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus battery 

Battery anxiety? Not here. The Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus comes with a 6500mAh battery and supports 100W fast charging, claiming a full charge in around 40 minutes.

Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus durability and extras

Redmi hasn’t ignored durability either. The Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus comes with IP66, IP68 and IP69/IP69K ratings, meaning serious resistance against dust, water and even high-pressure water jets. That’s rare even among pricier phones.

You also get the following features:

• Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos
• In-display fingerprint sensor
• TÜV Rheinland Triple Eye Protection
• SGS 5-star durability certification

These are the kinds of details that quietly justify the higher price tag.

Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus India price and variants 

Let’s get the facts straight first. The leaked pricing suggests that Redmi will offer multiple memory options in India:

• 8GB + 256GB (base variant) – Rs 38,999 (expected)
• 12GB + 256GB – price likely above Rs 40,000
• 12GB + 512GB – expected to go even higher

The base price alone signals a shift in Redmi’s strategy. This is no longer about undercutting rivals aggressively. Instead, Redmi appears confident that the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus can justify a premium with features that, on paper, rival some flagship phones.

Looking at the hardware, that confidence doesn’t feel entirely misplaced.

Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus pre-booking offers 

Here’s where Redmi tries to soften the price blow. As per the leak, buyers who pre-book the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus will get:

• One year of free screen replacement
• Redmi Watch Move bundled for free

The Redmi Watch Move, priced around Rs 1,999, comes with an AMOLED display, making it a genuinely useful freebie rather than a throwaway accessory. Free screen replacement also makes sense, especially considering the phone’s large curved display, which can be expensive to repair.

This kind of bundled value feels very on-brand for Redmi and could be the deciding factor for fence-sitters.

Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus: bold move or risky gamble?

At nearly Rs 39,000, the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus is no longer playing it safe. It’s challenging phones from OnePlus, Samsung and even Xiaomi’s own premium lineup. That’s risky, but also exciting.

If the camera performance lives up to the numbers and Redmi keeps its software experience clean, this phone could redefine what a “Note” device means in 2025. But if users feel the price creeps too close to true flagships without matching them in polish, backlash is inevitable.

Either way, one thing is clear: the Redmi Note series isn’t playing small anymore, and that makes this launch worth watching.
