Good prices for what this phone offers. But before you commit, look at what the 5G version costs — the answer changes the recommendation.
The Redmi Note 15 costs ৳27,999 in Bangladesh for the 6GB/128GB variant with official warranty, and ৳32,999 for 8GB/256GB. Grey market units run ৳25,200 and ৳28,300 respectively. It uses the Helio G100 Ultra chipset, a 108MP OIS main camera and a 6000mAh battery — larger than the one in the 5G model.
| Variant | Official | Unofficial |
|---|---|---|
| 6GB + 128GB | ৳27,999 | ৳25,200 |
| 8GB + 256GB | ৳32,999 | ৳28,300 |
The storage jump costs ৳5,000 and doubles both memory and storage, which is fair value on its own terms. But do the arithmetic one step further: at ৳32,999 for the 8/256 you are ৳4,000 away from the Redmi Note 15 5G in the same configuration. That is the comparison that actually matters here.
Xiaomi sells two phones called Redmi Note 15. They share a body, a screen and a main camera. The differences sit in three places, and all three favour the 5G.
The 5G runs a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3. This one runs MediaTek's Helio G100 Ultra, which is a capable budget chip but a clear step down — and it does not do 5G at all. The 5G charges at 45W; this charges at 33W. The 5G has an 8MP ultrawide camera; this has a 2MP depth sensor, which is not really a camera so much as a software helper.
What you get in exchange is a bigger battery: 6000mAh against 5520mAh. That is a real advantage and it shows up as roughly half a day of extra use.
So the honest recommendation: if you are looking at the 8/256 at ৳32,999, spend the extra ৳4,000 and take the 5G. If ৳27,999 for the 6/128 is genuinely your ceiling, this is a good phone and the battery is the best in its price band. What does not make sense is paying ৳32,999 for the 4G when the 5G sits ৳4,000 above it.
Two situations, and they are not unusual in Bangladesh.
The first is coverage. If you live outside Dhaka, Chattogram or the other metros, 5G is not reaching you for a while yet. Paying for a radio you cannot use in order to get a marginally faster processor is not obviously smart. The 6000mAh battery serves you every single day; the 5G modem serves you never.
The second is charging habits. Load-shedding is still part of life in much of the country, and a phone that lasts through an evening without power is worth more than one that charges twelve minutes faster when the power is on. Six thousand milliamp-hours with an efficient 4G chip behind it will get most people comfortably into a second day.
The gap runs ৳2,800 on the base model and ৳4,700 on the 8/256. Both are small in absolute terms, and on a phone at this price a single out-of-warranty repair erases the saving immediately.
Xiaomi Bangladesh runs authorised service centres in Dhaka, Chattogram, Khulna and several district towns, so the warranty is worth something practical rather than theoretical. Buy official.

It does not take pictures you would want to keep. Its job is to help the software work out what is near and what is far so portrait mode can blur the background convincingly. That is a real function, but calling it a camera oversells it. Judge this phone on its 108MP main sensor, which is genuinely good, and ignore the second number entirely. The 5G model spends that space on an 8MP ultrawide instead, which is a lens you would actually use.
Xiaomi showrooms, Star Tech, Gadget & Gear and Pickaboo stock official units with a one-year warranty. At ৳27,999 on 0% EMI across twelve months that is roughly ৳2,350 a month.
Grey units circulate at Bashundhara City and through online sellers. The saving is small enough that it is rarely worth the loss of warranty — but if you go that way, verify the IMEI with BTRC first.
৳27,999 official for 6GB/128GB and ৳32,999 for 8GB/256GB. Grey market units run ৳25,200 and ৳28,300.
No. This is the 4G model. The separate Redmi Note 15 5G supports 5G and costs about ৳4,000 more in the 8/256 configuration.
The 4G uses a Helio G100 Ultra with a 6000mAh battery, 33W charging and a 2MP depth sensor. The 5G uses a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 with a 5520mAh battery, 45W charging and an 8MP ultrawide camera.
Yes. The 108MP main camera has optical image stabilisation, the same sensor used in the 5G model.
6000mAh, which is larger than the 5520mAh cell in the 5G version.
