Arthur Fuentes, ABS-CBN News</div>CEBU — Xiaomi Philippines has officially launched the Redmi 15 Note series of midrange smartphones which promise increased durability and improved battery life. The new Redmi phones are &quot;Titan Tough&quot; according to Xiaomi, with flagship-level durability and performance at an accessible price point.Durability seems to be the buzzword in the midrange market segment these days, as Xiaomi touted its Redmi Titan Structure, which features a high-strength fiberglass back panel that the company says provides 10 times stronger impact resistance than previous generations. The top-tier Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and has earned the industry’s first SGS Premium Performance Certification for drop, crush, and bend resistance—successfully withstanding a 2.5-meter front drop test without damage, Xiaomi said. <div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1768490531480sb19.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>P-Pop band SB19 graces the launch of the Redmi Note 15 series in Cebu. Arthur Fuentes, ABS-CBN News</div>The company showed tech journalists and influencers how a new Redmi phone was able to survive being dropped from a paraglider. Meanwhile, for users prone to water accidents, the series boasts IP66, IP68, and IP69K dust and water resistance. It has also received the TÜV SÜD Water-resistant Endurance Certification, simulating a full year of intensive moisture exposure while maintaining airtight performance.Under the hood, the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, supported by the Xiaomi IceLoop cooling system to prevent overheating during heavy gaming. The 6,500 mAh battery utilizes silicon-carbon technology, which the company says can offer up to six years of healthy battery life or 1,600 charge cycles. It also features 100W &#x27;hyper charging&#x27; and 22.5W reverse charging capabilities. This means that you can use it to charge another phone or gadget. The device features a 6.83 AMOLED screen with 1.5K resolution and a peak brightness of 3,200 nits. Photography enthusiasts can take advantage of the new 200 megapixel main camera that can do a pretty good cropped 4x zoom and can shoot 4k video at 30 frames per second. It also has an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 32 MP camera up front to take care of selfie duties.Here are some sample photos taken in Cebu during the build-up to the launch of the new smartphones:<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1768465243072xiaomi redmi note 15 pic7.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Photo taken with the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G.
