After a series of teasers, Xiaomi has officially confirmed the launch of its next mid-range champions, the REDMI Note 15 Pro and Note 15 Pro+. The smartphones will be unveiled in China on August 21st, and the company has already released official images of the Pro+ model, showcasing a sleek, premium design.
A New Premium Design
The design of the Note 15 Pro+ features a large, central camera deco housing three rear cameras, with a confirmed 50MP main sensor with OIS. Xiaomi is emphasizing the phone’s fully curved, sleek body, which it claims offers a comfortable grip and a flagship form factor that balances visuals with hand-feel. This is a significant step up in design for the popular REDMI Note series, which will likely run a version of Android 16 out of the box.

Performance Leaks and Satellite Communication
The excitement is building around the performance of the REDMI Note 15 Pro+. A recent Geekbench listing for a Xiaomi phone believed to be the Pro+ revealed it will be powered by a new Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip, an upgrade over its predecessor. The listing also showed a variant with a massive 16GB of RAM, promising incredibly smooth performance.
Furthermore, regulatory filings have confirmed 90W fast charging for the Pro+ model. In a first for the brand, a separate filing points to a “Satellite Edition” of the REDMI Note 15 Pro+, which will support Beidou short message satellite text messaging. This is a high-end, almost hidden smartphone feature trickling down to the mid-range, and it could be a major selling point for users in areas with poor cellular connectivity.
What This Means for Nigeria
The REDMI Note series is incredibly popular in Nigeria, known for offering great value for money. The upgrades seen in the REDMI Note 15 Pro series, especially the premium design, faster charging, and potential for satellite communication, will make it a very strong contender in the competitive mid-range market. We expect more details to emerge from Xiaomi in the coming days ahead of the August 21 launch.
