REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G, REDMI Note 15 5G, and REDMI Note 15. Defined by REDMI

Titan Durability, the lineup highlights long-lasting battery performance, reinforced drop

while all models are engineered to meet the demands of everyday use.

At the core of this upgrade is an enhanced battery experience. REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G

features a 6,500mAh Silicon–Carbon (SiC) Battery with 10% SiC content,¹ paired with

100W HyperCharge³ and 22.5W reverse charging⁴, delivering flagship-level endurance

enables higher energy density within a compact form factor. Across all Pro models, the

SiC battery works alongside Xiaomi Surge battery management system, retaining 80% or

more capacity after 1,600 charge cycles, equivalent to approximately six years of typical

absorbing design, complemented by Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 — together

enabling certified drop resistance from heights of up to 2.5 meters.⁷ REDMI Note 15 Pro+

5G further incorporates an ultra-tough fiberglass back panel²² to improve impact

absorption without adding unnecessary weight³¹. The rest of the lineup features a durable

structural design that has passed the SGS Comprehensive Shock and Drop-Resistance

To deliver comprehensive everyday protection, REDMI Note 15 Series raises the bar for

dust and water resistance. REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G and REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G meet

IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K standards⁸ and are certified to withstand immersion at depths

of up to 2 meters for 24 hours⁹. Verified by the TÜV SÜD Smartphone Water-Resistant

Endurance Certification,¹⁰ these models incorporate 17 precision-engineered waterproof

elements to ensure long-term reliability. REDMI Note 15 5G and REDMI Note 15 also

feature enhanced dust and water resistance designed to handle splashes, spills, and

challenging environments. Across the entire lineup, Wet Touch 2.0 ensures the display

remains responsive even when the screen or fingertips are wet, allowing smooth

operation in everyday conditions.

Meanwhile, REDMI Note 15 5G and REDMI Note 15 feature a 108MP super-clear camerasystem, offering a 3× optical-level telephoto experience that covers perspectives from

wide-angle shots to portrait close-ups.

Across the series, imaging is further enhanced with creative and AI-powered tools,

including an ultra-clear portrait algorithm, Dynamic shots 2.0 for motion effects, and easy

editing with direct sharing to Instagram.²³ Post-processing is easier than ever, with REDMI

Note 15 5G and REDMI Note 15 offer a suite of AI image editing tools¹² designed for

Upgraded Performance and Smarter Connectivity

a wide range of usage scenarios. At the top of the lineup, REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G is

Adventure Meets Titan Durability: REDMI Note 15 Series Teams Up with

Titan Durability and reliable everyday performance. Stay tuned for the full story on Ed

Stafford's official channels.

Unveiling Mijia Smart Audio Glasses, merging style with

convenience

In addition to the launch of REDMI Note 15 Series, Xiaomi today added to its ecosystem

lineup with its latest audio glasses, Mijia Smart Audio Glasses. Blending timeless eyewear

design with open-ear audio technology, these glasses house a speaker system and 4

built-in microphones. This enables users to stay aware of their surroundings while

enjoying crystal-clear audio with 4.5m/s wind noise reduction,¹ making the glasses ideal

for city walks or outdoor travel. Moreover, for those more discreet meetings or calls, a

new privacy mode² has been introduced, leveraging a customised algorithm to ensure

clear audio, while significantly reducing sound leakage.Available in three classic options, namely Titanium, Pilot-Style, and Browline,³ Mijia Smart

Audio Glasses combine convenience and endurance in a stylish frame. Although all

lenses can be replaced with prescription ones if needed, both Browline and Titanium³

come with up to 25% blue light protection lenses.¹ In comparison, Pilot-Style features

UV400-protection sunglasses with an up to 99.99% blocking rate of ultraviolet light.⁴ Each

style is slim and lightweight, particularly the Titanium model,³ which is equipped with ultra-

light 27.6g⁵ frames. For those seeking to mix and match, Browline and Pilot-Style include

a quick-release mechanism for effortless style changes.³ Not only do the glasses offer

ultimate convenience, but they also provide lasting durability. Reinforcement by a piano-

wire hinge capable of withstanding up to 15,000 flexes,¹ and an IP54 dust and splash

resistance certification⁶ help to ensure protection against a wide range of conditions, from

humidity to light rain.

Inside the glasses' sleek silhouette lie a pair of compact 114mAh custom non-coaxial

steel-cased batteries. By placing these batteries towards the ends of the temples, a down-

to-5mm profile⁷ is achieved near the frames, alleviating pressure on the ears and ensuring

absolute comfort throughout the day. With fast charging, a brief 10-minute top-up provides

around 4 hours of playback,¹ while a full charge from 0 to 100% takes roughly one hour,¹

keeping the glasses ready whenever needed. 100% charge enables up to 13 hours of

continuous music playback.⁸

With this generation of smart audio glasses comes the Xiaomi Glasses app, which offers

greater customisation, more features, and even more control. Audio and other functions

are primarily controlled via a touch panel on the temples of the glasses. Within the app,

users can customise gesture controls to suit their preferences. For example, a long press

on the glasses' temple can be set to activate the smartphone's voice assistant,⁹ enabling

quick, hands-free responses to messages, calls, and more. The app can also help locate

misplaced glasses. Furthermore, a wide range of recording functionality is available,

including the ability to record audio, media files, and face-to-face conversations.¹⁰ An LED

indicator automatically lights up on the glasses' temple during recordings to ensure

privacy. Moreover, users can seamlessly switch between audio playback on a

smartphone and a laptop, thanks to dual-device connectivity support in the app.

Combining stylish design, convenience, and clear audio, Mijia Smart Audio Glasses bring

a new perspective to audio entertainment, phone calls, and everyday life.REDMI Buds 8 Lite, where practicality meets value

Also launched in global markets to extend Xiaomi's wide ranging AIoT portfolio were the

company's latest entry-level earbuds, REDMI Buds 8 Lite. Offered in Black,¹ White¹ or

Blue,¹ REDMI Buds 8 Lite are built for those who seek practicality and ease of use with

fast charging, all encased in a strong exterior design.

At the core of these is a large 12.4mm titanium-diaphragm driver, bringing sound clarity

combined with rich detail. Through a Bluetooth® 5.4 connection, they support both AAC

and SBC audio codecs, delivering clear, high-quality audio across a range of devices.

Alongside Transparency mode for maintaining awareness of surroundings, the buds

feature up to 42dB wide frequency hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC).² Using a

combination of talk and feedback microphones, ANC mode effectively detects and

suppresses a broad range of low-frequency ambient noise. For outdoor calls, dual-mic AI

environmental noise cancellation (ENC) comes into play, leveraging the microphone array

and AI algorithms to focus on the user’s voice, even against up to 6m/s wind speeds.⁴

Further echoing user preferences is the flexibility to select between 5 pre-installed EQ

modes³ to enhance bass, voice or treble, for example, and even to customise EQ tuning

via Xiaomi Earbuds app.

With practicality and convenience at the forefront, REDMI Buds 8 Lite can connect to two

devices simultaneously, such as a phone and a laptop, and automatically switch between

these based on the call source. Moreover, designed for fast-paced lifestyles, REDMI Buds

8 Lite let the user listen to up to 2 hours of music after just 10 minutes⁵ connected to a

charger. Not only is fast charging offered, but REDMI Buds 8 Lite also provide long-lasting

battery life, specifically up to 36 hours with the charging case.⁶

Blending fast charging, classic design and convenient connectivity, REDMI Buds 8 Lite

are a practical option for those seeking a value-for-money audio device for everyday use.
