More details of the Redmi Note 15 special edition revealed: a different camera and battery

Xiaomi India has been teasing the Redmi Note 15 Special Edition for the past week. The company has just confirmed some key details that differentiate it from the regular Redmi Note 15 – this is last-minute information as the phone goes live on Thursday, April 2.

According to the official landing page, the phone will be available in a new vegan leather finish if you choose the red and gold “Crimson Reserve” color (7.82mm). There are also the more standard Carbon Black (7.35 mm) and Frosted White (7.4 mm). Some of them we already knew from last week.

Newly revealed information suggests that the Redmi Note 15 Special Edition will have a 50MP camera with 4K video recording. The global model has a 108MP camera, while the Chinese model has a 50MP camera. However, that Chinese model uses a smaller 1/2.88″ sensor, which doesn’t seem like much of a “special edition”. As said, the three color versions look like the New Year’s Cherry Red Edition, Midnight Black and Starlight White colors available on the Chinese model.

Redmi Note 15 Special Edition: • 50MP 4K camera • 5,800mAh battery with 45W charging

The special edition model will have a 5,800mAh battery, which can last up to 44 hours on a single charge and will remain in good condition for up to 5 years of use. This again matches the Chinese model, as the global model has a 5,520mAh battery. Anyhow, charging is done at 45W.

Both versions are powered by Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 and there will be a special edition as well.

The special edition will use the same Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip as other Redmi Note 15 models

Xiaomi will launch Redmi Note 15 Special Edition on Thursday, April 2 in partnership with Flipkart.
