We’ve all seen (hopefully not experienced) the nightmare of dropping our phones and cracking them, or accidentally taking a dip in the pool. We like to tell ourselves that these are unlikely to happen to us, but in truth, danger to our devices is in every corner.

So, when the new REDMI Note 15 series was announced with durability in mind, I was intrigued.

For the REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G that we have here, the front is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 – which is a rare trait for a device of this price point, and the back is made out of fiberglass. I’ll always say that fiberglass plastic is better because it doesn’t shatter when dropped.

Of course, it also has durability against the elements as well, since this phone is rated for IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K dust and water resistance. Pretty typical for smartphones nowadays, but again, a rare trait for a phone of this price point.

But this phone has more than just physical durability – it also has durability against time.

The REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G is engineered to have durability for 4-6 years of every usage, which is why they are also providing 4 generations of Android OS upgrades and 6 years of security patches. With improved hardware optimisation and battery longevity, the REDMI Note 15 Series helps prevent common long-term issues such as lag.

But, that’s not all. Thanks for the large 6580mAh battery, it’s more difficult to just add 1 to the number of battery charge cycles.

That means this battery will not degrade as fast as other phones in the market – and they’re so confident in this aspect that they’re also providing an extended 2-year warranty, including screen and battery coverage for all REDMI Note 15 series of devices.

To further elaborate, we have:

  • 1+1 standard warranty
  • ⁠4 years battery warranty (get a new battery replacement for free if the battery health drops below 80% within 4 years) 
  • 2 years accidental warranty on screen/liquid/back cover repair claim for one time only

Let’s then talk about other parts of the “durability” as well, as it needs to be long-lasting so that I can go through one whole day of usage. Using our standardized battery life test, the REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G that we’re testing can last for around 16 hours and 45 minutes – which means it will comfortably last me throughout the day.

Plus, it also comes included with a 45W charger in the box and I can charge it from 15% to completion in around 78 minutes.

Let’s not forget about the cameras. We can take some pretty good shots using the dual-camera system in the REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G, and the colors look surprisingly good. Most of these pictures were taken during an extremely gloomy day, but this phone manage to bring out the colors that my eyes could not.

The REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G also comes equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra alongside 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and that makes games like COD Mobile play supremely well even with the Super Resolution turned on. It looks sharp and the gameplay is locked in at 60fps throughout.

Price and promotions!

The REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G series is now available for pre-orders, and of course there are promotions as well. Both the REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G and the REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G will get a free double storage upgrade to 512GB – and that’s not all.

Early birds can get a FREE REDMI Pad SE 8.7-inch with a case that’s worth RM748. Yeah, the free gift is worth like half the price of the phone itself – just as a bonus reward for you for ordering the REDMI Note 15 Pro early.
