Xiaomi 15 was launched in China in October 2024 alongside the Xiaomi 15 Pro. These handsets are expected to be joined by the Xiaomi 15 Ultra variant soon. A tipster claims that the company could introduce the Xiaomi 15 series in India soon. The tipster also noted that Xiaomi could even bring the mid-range Redmi 14 5G to the country. This is expected to succeed the Redmi 13 5G, which was launched in India in July 2024.
Xiaomi 15 Series or Redmi 14 5G India Launch
According to an X post by tipster Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd), Xiaomi could launch the Xiaomi 15 series or the purported Redmi 14 5G handset in India in February. He did not clarify if the Xiaomi 15 series in the country will include the top-of-the-line, yet-to-be-released Ultra version. The post did not share any details about the Redmi 14 5G option either.
In November 2024, the base Xiaomi 15 with model number 24129PN74I was spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification website suggesting an imminent India launch of the handset. The phone could be joined in the country by either or both of the Pro and Ultra variants.
Notably, the preceding Xiaomi 14 and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra were introduced in India in March 2024, while the Redmi 13 5G was unveiled in the country in July of that year. If the leaked timeline for either the Xiaomi 15 lineup or the Redmi 14 5G is true, we can expect to see official teasers soon.
The Indian versions of the Xiaomi 15 lineup will likely be similar to their Chinese counterparts. The Xiaomi 15 series is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and runs on Android 15-based HyperOS 2. The base and Pro variants sport Leica-tuned triple rear camera units led by 50-megapixel main sensors. They are claimed to meet an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
