New year, new phone. If you’d like to start the year strong without breaking the bank, REDMI’s latest mid-range phone might be something up your alley. We got to test the brand new REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G ahead of its launch event in Cebu, and here are reasons why it’s a great contender for your next gadget update:

It’s titan tough

How many times have you accidentally dropped your phone, gotten it wet during an out-of-town trip (and had to submerge it in rice grains), or spilled something on the screen because you need that entertainment while eating? Sure, we try our best not to damage our phones, but this is for the klutz folk who are just prone to damaging gadgets. The REDMI Note 15 Pro is titan tough and built to withstand even the harshest conditions, with a screen made of Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 and IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K dust and water resistance.

We’ve witnessed the phone being dropped from 400 feet above the ground, being dragged by a car, and being submerged underwater for 24 hours – and it survived it all. While it’s more likely that you won’t have to face these conditions, it’s good to know that your gadget isn’t fragile and won’t give up on you easily. Scratches? Can’t relate!

Its battery lasts all day

Unless you’ll use the phone all day for streaming, gaming, or online classes, a single charge before you leave home should last you all day. The REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G features a 6580mAh battery, ensuring you have enough juice. And if you’re trying to live the analog life and making a conscious choice to lower your screen time in 2026, trust that you can even extend this phone’s life for a few days.

When it’s time to recharge it, it comes with a 45W turbo charger.

You can use it as a power bank, too

If you’re always out and about and one of your gadgets needs to power up, there’s no need to look for an outlet or bring a chunky power bank. One of the REDMI Note 15 Pro’s cool features is its 22.5W reverse charging. Don’t forget to bring a handy-dandy cable, and you’re good to go.

Capture moments with a powerful 200MP camera

Whether you’re a jetsetter or simply someone who loves to capture life’s moments through photos and videos, you can immortalize these memories through REDMI Note 15 Pro’s new 200MP camera. Its main lens covers five focal lengths from 23mm to 92mm, offering smooth transitions from 1x, 2x, and 4x zoom levels.

You can also capture ultra-clear 4K video recording, so if you’re planning to get started with content creation, take this as a sign to finally tap that record button. You’ll never know where simply recording videos can take you!

Take entertainment to the next level

From binge-watching your favorite shows and movies to streaming, you can trust this smartphone for consistently excellent quality. The REDMI Note Pro 5G features a 6.83-inch flat display, offering a wide and nearly borderless view. No annoying bezels, so you’ll have your entire focus on your screen. It also has up to 3,200 nits of peak brightness, so content stays clear and vibrant even in direct sunlight. Shooting at the beach? There’s no need to cover your screen when checking photos!

Complementing the visuals is a 400% volume boost in dynamic scenarios (a first for any Xiaomi smartphone), which delivers rich, immersive audio for movies, music, and games. You can basically have a dance party anywhere with this phone.
