Xiaomi has officially introduced the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G, the latest flagship-tier entry in its mid-range Note series. The device highlights a shift in battery architecture, employing silicon-carbon technology to balance high capacity with a slim form factor.
Battery and Charging Infrastructure
The central feature of the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G is its 6,500mAh silicon-carbon battery.
Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, silicon-carbon anodes offer higher energy density, allowing for a larger capacity without significantly increasing the physical volume or weight of the handset.
100W HyperCharge: The device supports 100W wired fast charging. According to internal lab data, a full charge from 0% to 100% is achieved in approximately 40 minutes under optimal conditions.
Reverse Charging: The handset includes 22.5W wired reverse charging, enabling it to function as a power source for other peripherals.
Longevity: Xiaomi claims the battery maintains over 80% capacity after 1,600 cycles, which equates to roughly six years of standard use.
Display and Durability
The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G features a 6.83-inch CrystalRes AMOLED display. The panel is designed for high-visibility and structural resilience, utilizing Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for scratch and impact protection.
