A fresh leak suggests Redmi will launch the Note 15 series in India this December, with phones going on sale in early January. Tips also point to an affordable Redmi 15C 5G arriving sooner, and whispers that Redmi may revive a flagship lineup for India.
What the leak says about the Note 15 timeline
Tipster Abhishek Yadav has shared a timeline that pins the Redmi Note 15 series launch in India to December, with retail availability beginning on January 9. While the leaker did not list every spec, the report implies at least three models are likely — the Note 15, Note 15 Pro and Note 15 Pro+ — similar to the global rollout but possibly tuned for India.
Expect small regional tweaks rather than straight rebrands. Manufacturers often change chipsets, camera setups or memory options between China and India to match price bands and network requirements, so the Indian Note 15 lineup could look familiar but not identical.
Entry-level 5G on the way: Redmi 15C appears first
Before the Note 15 launch, Yadav mentions a separate entry-level model: the Redmi 15C 5G. Positioned beneath the existing Redmi 15 5G, the 15C targets budget buyers who want 5G on a shoestring. Price expectations put it near Rs 12,000, which would make it one of the more affordable 5G options in the market.
Value-focused features are likely — think modest processing power, a basic but adequate camera array, and battery capacity intended to keep costs down while delivering all-day use. If the price holds, the 15C could be a solid pick for first-time 5G buyers.
Could Redmi flagships be coming back to India?
Perhaps the most intriguing part of the leak: Redmi may be preparing a new flagship series for India, similar in spirit to China’s K-series. The tipster describes a lineup aimed at flagship-level performance, though he cautions the detail isn’t 100% confirmed yet.
Redmi last pushed a true flagship into India with the K20 in 2019, later reintroducing the K-series briefly with the K50i in 2022. Since then, the brand has focused heavily on the mid-range Note and standard Redmi lines in India. A return to flagship devices would mark a strategic shift and give fans a high-performance alternative that could undercut pricier global flagships.
What to watch next
- Official announcements: With the Note 15 launch reportedly imminent, an official reveal of pricing and exact launch dates should follow soon.
- Model differences: Keep an eye on chipset and camera details to see how Indian variants differ from the Chinese models.
- Flagship confirmation: If Redmi plans a flagship series, expect it to be announced after the Note 15 rollout or teased alongside higher-end specs.
In short, December could be busy for Redmi in India: an affordable 5G contender first, a Note series debut before the new year, and the tantalizing possibility of a flagship return. Stay tuned for official word and spec sheets that will fill in the gaps.
