Mumbai, April 2: Xiaomi's sub-brand Redmi is set to expand its popular Note 15 lineup with the official launch of the Redmi Note 15 SE 5G in India today, April 2. Positioned as a "Special Edition" targeting the competitive budget-to-mid-range segment, the device is expected to offer a premium aesthetic with a focus on daily reliability. The smartphone will be available exclusively through Flipkart, following a week-long teaser campaign on social media that highlighted its distinctive new design and hardware refinements. The standout feature of the Redmi Note 15 SE is its "Crimson Reserve" colourway, which features a luxurious vegan leather back panel paired with a gold-colored frame. Realme 16 5G Price in India Leaked Ahead of April 2 Launch. This design marks a departure from the standard Note 15 5G, aiming to provide a more premium hand-feel in the sub-INR 20,000 category. The device retains the "squircle" camera module seen in the regular series but incorporates gold-toned accents around the lenses. At a reported thickness of just 7.82mm, the SE variant is designed to be slim and ergonomic despite its large internal battery. Under the hood, the Redmi Note 15 SE is confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset. Xiaomi claims the device will offer a "48-month lag-free experience," supported by software optimisations in the new HyperOS 2. While final pricing will be revealed during the launch event, industry analysts expect the Redmi Note 15 SE to start at a highly competitive price point of approximately INR 19,999. This positioning places it slightly below the standard Redmi Note 15 5G, which currently retails for INR 21,499. The device will be offered in three colours: Carbon Black, Frosted White, and the flagship Crimson Reserve. Sales are expected to commence on Flipkart shortly after the announcement, potentially bundled with early-bird bank offers to attract budget-conscious buyers.

By offering a vegan leather finish and a larger battery at a lower price point than the standard 108MP model, Redmi aims to solidify its dominance in the INR 15,000 to INR 20,000 price bracket.
