Xiaomi has already rolled out the REDMI Note 15 5G series in China and recently expanded its presence to Poland. Now, the spotlight has shifted to Western Europe, where one specific model has quietly appeared for sale on Belgian carrier Telenet’s official website. This unexpected listing reveals the phone’s pricing and complete specifications well ahead of any formal European launch. Interestingly, it also confirms that the REDMI Note 15 5G sold in Europe is not identical to the Chinese variant, especially when it comes to battery size and camera hardware.
Pricing and Availability in Europe
According to the Telenet listing, the REDMI Note 15 5G is priced at €280 for a single configuration featuring 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. At the moment, no other memory variants are mentioned on the carrier’s website, suggesting that this may be the only option planned for this market – at least initially.

- Priced at €280
Telenet is also offering a €30 discount for its subscribers, making the deal slightly more attractive for existing customers. Despite the detailed listing, Xiaomi itself has not yet made any official statement regarding the Belgian or broader European launch of the REDMI Note 15 5G, adding to the mystery surrounding its rollout.
REDMI Note 15 5G Specification (Leak)
Under the hood, the REDMI Note 15 5G is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, a detail that Xiaomi has already confirmed for the series. This processor is designed to deliver a balanced mix of performance and efficiency, making it suitable for everyday tasks, casual gaming, and smooth multitasking.
In terms of physical dimensions, the device measures 164.0 × 75.4 × 7.35mm and weighs 178 grams, giving it a slim and lightweight profile for a phone with a large display. One of the notable differences between the European and Chinese variants is the battery.
The European Redmi Note 15 5G comes with a 5,520mAh battery, while the China-only model packs a larger 5,800mAh unit. Fast charging is still respectable, with support for 45W wired charging, which should top up the battery fairly quickly.
Display Details
On the front, the REDMI Note 15 5G features a 6.77-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1,080 × 2,392 pixels. The screen also includes an in-display fingerprint scanner, keeping things modern and convenient. OLED technology promises deep blacks, vibrant colors, and good viewing angles, making the phone ideal for media consumption.

However, the display size remains a bit confusing. Earlier leaks and reports suggested that the phone might feature a larger 6.83-inch panel. It’s still unclear whether Xiaomi plans to use different screen sizes in different regions or if the earlier information was inaccurate. For now, the 6.77-inch OLED panel is what’s officially listed for the European REDMI Note 15 5G.
Camera Setup
The camera hardware is another area where the European Redmi Note 15 5G clearly differs from its Chinese counterpart. The rear camera setup includes a 108MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP secondary lens. This is a significant upgrade over the 50MP main camera found on the Chinese variant, making the European model far more appealing to photography enthusiasts.

On the front, the phone houses a 20MP selfie camera, which supports 4K video recording. This makes it suitable not only for social media photos but also for high-resolution video calls and content creation.
Connectivity, Durability, & Extra Features
Beyond the core specs, the Redmi Note 15 5G offers a solid set of additional features. It carries an IP65 rating, meaning it has decent protection against dust and water splashes. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.3, NFC for contactless payments, eSIM support, and a traditional nano-SIM slot, offering flexibility for different user needs.

The device is listed in Black and Blue color options, although only the Black variant appears in the product images on Telenet’s website. An EU Energy Label is also included in the listing, which strongly suggests that an official announcement and wider European availability may be just around the corner.

With its surprise appearance on a Belgian carrier’s website, the REDMI Note 15 5G has already generated buzz ahead of its official European debut. While the smaller battery compared to the Chinese version might disappoint some users, the upgraded 108MP camera, sleek design, and Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset help balance things out. If Xiaomi keeps pricing competitively across Europe, the Redmi Note 15 5G could become a strong contender in the mid-range smartphone market once it officially launches.
