Redmi appears to be preparing the launch of a new budget smartphone, with the anticipated Redmi 15C 5G recently appearing on the 3C certification website. The Chinese tech company is likely to introduce this successor to the Redmi 14C 5G in China in the near future. Expectations for the upcoming model include a 50-megapixel rear camera and a 6.9-inch display. The Redmi 14C 5G made its debut in India earlier this year in January, powered by a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset. Exact details regarding the launch date of the new budget 5G device have yet to be disclosed by the manufacturer.
Redmi 15C 5G Listed with Model Number 2508CRN2BC
A Xiaomi smartphone has been identified on the 3C certification site in China with the model number 2508CRN2BC. This listing indicates that the forthcoming device will be equipped with a 33W fast charger. According to reports, this entry corresponds to the anticipated Redmi 15C 5G. Now that the phone has received certification in China, it could be launched within the next few weeks. This aligns with previous reports suggesting that the model may support 33W fast charging capability.
The Redmi 15C 5G is expected to succeed the Redmi 14C 5G, which was launched earlier this year in India. Sources indicate that the new smartphone will be available in three color options: Green, Lavender, and Black.
Leaked images of the device indicate that it might feature a display with a water drop-style notch for the selfie camera. The rear design is expected to incorporate a rectangular camera module housing three camera cutouts and an LED flash. However, it is speculated that one of the cutouts may be purely decorative, suggesting a dual rear camera setup instead.
Further details from the leaked renders suggest that the Redmi 15C 5G will have a 6.9-inch LCD display with HD+ resolution (720 x 1,200 pixels) and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The camera configuration includes a 50-megapixel primary rear camera, matching its predecessor’s specifications. Additionally, the device is anticipated to be powered by a large 6,000mAh battery and feature a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
The European variant of the Redmi 15C 5G is rumored to come in two configurations: one with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and another featuring 4GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The device may operate on HyperOS 2.0, built on the Android 15 platform.
