Redmi started teasing the global Note 15 5G a few days ago, first confirming its 108MP main camera, then its 5,520 mAh battery with 45W wired charging support.
Now there’s a new reveal, and this time we get one of the most important specs: the chipset powering the device. The Redmi Note 15 5G will use the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 SoC, which was quietly unveiled in September. If you’re familiar with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, this is really similar.
The Snapdragon 6 Gen 3’s CPU has four Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.4GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at up to 1.8GHz. This CPU is paired with the Adreno 710 GPU.
Redmi promises that this chipset will deliver “48-month lag free performance”, and says it comes with a 10% GPU boost and a 30% CPU boost compared to the last gen, though it’s not clear what exactly it’s comparing to – the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, this SoC’s predecessor (Qualcomm loves skipping generations to make things extra confusing), or the Redmi Note 14 5G and its Dimensity 7025 Ultra chipset? Your guess is as good as ours.
According to previous leaks, the Redmi Note 15 5G has a 6.83-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, an 8MP ultrawide next to its 108MP main camera, and a 20MP selfie snapper.
