Redmi Note 15 Pro+: There is buzz about the Redmi Note 15 series everywhere, and the iQOO Z10 has already been launched in India in April 2025 — but now leaks are coming about its China variant. Both phones are setting new benchmarks in the mid-range segment, with Snapdragon chipsets, 1.5K AMOLED displays, and huge batteries. Let’s understand these two mid-range powerhouses in detail.

Performance & Processor: gaming and multitasking

The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ will reportedly carry the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset—this is a solid step-up that not only does gaming at the right speed, but also maintains power efficiency. The China variant of the iQOO Z10 is heard to have the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip—for a notch higher performance. The Indian variant had the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 with the April launch, and it still delivers smooth gaming and multitasking. Both phones are set to deliver flagship-level performance in the mid-range.

Display & Visuals: Quad-Curved Or Flat?

1.5K resolution is now the standard for the mid-range. The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ will come with a quad-curved AMOLED panel as per the tip—which gives a premium flagship feel. The iQOO Z10 China variant will also get a 1.5K flat AMOLED with sharp visuals. The Indian iQOO Z10 has the existing 6.77-inch AMOLED, which offers a combination of resolution between FHD+ and QHD+. The visual quality will be top class in both; Redmi’s curved screen styling is an extra bonus.

Battery Life: Massive 8,000mAh 

This part is the most amazing in both phones. Redmi Note 15 Pro+ is tipped to have a 7,000mAh battery—which is perfect for multiple days usage. iQOO Z10 China variant is heard to have an even larger 8,000mAh battery—now this battery is a monster! The Indian variant has already been launched with a 7,300mAh battery, along with 90W fast charging. Redmi’s 7,000mAh is also enough for local daily needs.

Camera Setup: Redmi’s Telephoto Favour

In the camera, Redmi Note 15 Pro+ will come with dual-lens setup—50MP primary and another 50MP telephoto sensor. This telephoto lens offering optical zoom is rare in mid-range phones, so Redmi takes advantage in photography. The camera specs of the iQOO Z10 China variant are limited through leaks as of now — it could feature a basic 50MP primary. The Indian variant has a 50MP + 2MP depth sensor. This means that Redmi’s camera system seems to be more versatile.

Software & India Launch Context

The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ will launch in China in August 2025, and the India launch is expected around Q4 2025. It will run Android 15 with HyperOS. The Indian iQOO Z10 is already available, priced at ₹21,999 (8GB+128GB variant). The China variant is rumoured to have higher RAM (12GB–16GB) and fast charging possibilities. The Indian variant has an IP65 water/dust resistance rating.

Final Verdict

If you want camera versatility, flagship looks and telephoto zoom, the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ is the right choice for you. Its quad-curved 1.5K screen and 50MP telephoto lens will definitely attract photography lovers. But if battery life is your top priority, and you want a slight performance boost, especially with the rumoured 8,000mAh battery and Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, then the iQOO Z10 China variant seems like a battery queen.

And if you’re buying from Japan, the already available iQOO Z10 in India starts at ₹21,999—a top contender for value for money mid-range. The key factor in choosing the best phone for you is the same-do you want camera and design or long battery and performance?
