Xiaomi Redmi Note 15

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Redmi Note 15 makes a strong case at 69,999 PKR with the best screen in its price band: a 6.67-inch AMOLED hitting 3200 nits peak brightness and roughly 394 PPI, which is both razor sharp and readable in full sun — rare at this level. The 108MP main camera sits on a 1/1.67-inch sensor with a 0.64μm pixel that bins 9-to-1 into 1.92μm for night shots, and the f/1.76 lens lets in plenty of light, so this is a genuinely capable daylight and low-light shooter. The Helio G100-Ultra with 8GB RAM is smooth for daily use and light gaming, the 6000mAh battery with 33W turbo charging is excellent, and the 20MP front camera is above average. The trade-offs are the missing ultrawide lens and a 2026 launch that is not 5G. The Realme C85 is 10,000 PKR cheaper, but the gap in hardware is obvious. The C85's 6.8-inch screen is a 720p LCD at just ~254 PPI against the Note 15's AMOLED at ~394 PPI — the sharpness and contrast difference is night and day. The Realme's 50MP camera and SD685 chip trail the Xiaomi's 108MP sensor and G100-Ultra, and while both offer 8GB RAM, the C85 counters only with a bigger 7000mAh battery against 6000mAh. If you watch video, game, or shoot photos, the Note 15 is worth every rupee of the premium; the C85 only makes sense if marathon battery life and a lower price outrank screen and camera quality. Run the Note 15 IMEI through PTA's DIRBS before paying — new Xiaomi launches are frequent grey imports.
