Redmi Note 15 Series European Launch Set for January 15

After a global launch event roughly a month ago, Xiaomi's Redmi Note 15 series is finally heading to Europe. According to an official update on Xiaomi's website, the European launch is scheduled for January 15, giving consumers just two days to prepare for the release.

The company is sweetening the deal with early purchase incentives. Customers who pre-order through Xiaomi's website will receive a discount of €20 or £15, valid for purchases made between January 15 and January 31. This promotional window suggests Xiaomi is aiming for strong initial sales momentum in the competitive European mid-range market.

Complete Product Lineup and Pricing

The Redmi Note 15 series represents a comprehensive five-device portfolio, covering various price points and feature sets:

Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G sits at the premium end with two configurations:

• 256GB storage with 8GB RAM: €456.61
• 512GB storage with 12GB RAM: €549.90

Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G offers a single high-capacity option:

• 512GB storage with 12GB RAM: €449.90

Redmi Note 15 Pro (4G model) provides:

• 512GB storage with 12GB RAM: €399.90

Redmi Note 15 5G targets the mid-range:

• 256GB storage with 8GB RAM: €299.90

Redmi Note 15 (base 4G model):

• 256GB storage with 8GB RAM: €249.90

These price points position the series squarely in the competitive mid-range segment, where Xiaomi has traditionally performed well by balancing specifications with affordability.

Ecosystem Context and Market Position

The European launch timing is strategic. Xiaomi faces increasing competition from Samsung's Galaxy A-series and Google's Pixel A-line in the mid-range bracket. The Redmi Note series has built a reputation for delivering flagship-level features—like high-refresh-rate displays, fast charging, and capable cameras—at accessible prices.

For European consumers, the launch brings several ecosystem considerations. The devices run Xiaomi's HyperOS (based on Android), which has been gradually replacing MIUI. This creates potential lock-in effects with Xiaomi's broader ecosystem, including their smart home devices, wearables, and tablets. The integration works both ways—Xiaomi's ecosystem apps and services are deeply embedded, but the devices also support standard Android features and Google services.

The 5G models across the Pro variants ensure future-proofing as European carriers continue expanding their 5G networks. Storage configurations are generous, with even the base model offering 256GB—addressing a common pain point for users who accumulate photos, videos, and apps over a device's lifetime.

Availability and Reviews

While the official European launch is January 15, Xiaomi has already published reviews for the flagship models. The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ review and Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G review are available for those wanting detailed analysis before purchase. Full reviews for the remaining three devices—the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G, Redmi Note 15 5G, and Redmi Note 15 4G—are currently in progress.

The January 15 launch will likely see the devices available through Xiaomi's official channels, major retailers, and carrier partners across European markets. Given the pre-order discount window, prospective buyers should mark their calendars for the launch day to maximize savings.
