This is a somewhat atypical case that that of the Redmi 15C: a smartphone absent from the Xiaomi site, not announced by the brand and already on promo at 149 euros instead of 179 euros on PC Components.
The least we can say is that the Redmi 15C makes a discreet entry into the smartphones market. This entry -level is indeed absent from the listings of the Xiaomi site, however it is already on sale at Boulanger, Leclerc or on Component PC with 30 euros in discount. A good plan if you have a tight budget since this smartphone at less than 150 euros shines in particular for its XXL autonomy of 82 hours in music reading without interruption. So it is not because he entered the Catimini that it must be ignored.
The 3 good reasons to crack for the Xiaomi Redmi 15C
- Its 6,000 mAh battery compatible with fast load 33 W
- Its 6.9 inch HD+ screen refreshed at 120 Hz
- It is IP64 certified, proof of great resistance
While it should be available in our latitudes at 179 euros, the Redmi 15C of Xiaomi benefits from 30 euros of discount in the basket at PC Component, which makes it pass to 149 euros.
Xiaomi loses not to communicate on the Redmi 15C
It is a shame that this Redmi 15C does not make no more noise, because it is a quality smartphone, given its price. It measures 173.1 x 81.1 x 8.2 mm for 211 g, a weight above the average, but justified by the large size of its screen. You have a 6.9 -inch LCD IPS slab here which displays HD+, or 1600 x 720 pixels. It is not the best resolutions, but it is doing very well.
Where it shines particularly, it is in terms of the frequency of refreshment. With 120 Hz, you have a nice fluidity when you launch certain games. The brightness of 660 nits is sufficient for conventional use, a little below average in terms of outdoor use.
Honest performances and XL autonomy
Inside, you will find the Mediatek Helio G81-Ultra processor, accompanied by 4 GB of RAM LPDDR4X with, in this case, 256 GB of memory. Small bonus, and it is the prerogative of entry -level smartphones: you have a slot for a microSD card of a maximum size of 1 TB. All with a battery of 6,000 mAh and a range announced by the 82 -hour brand in audio reading, with fast load 33 W.
On the photo side, it is equipped with a single 50 MP rear sensor and an 8 MP front camera. With, you have 1080p videos at 30 fps, this is not where it shines the most. AI is still part to raise the level.
Finally, it is IP64 certified, to resist the dust and water as much. Also be careful: there is no 5G.
