Figures as published (August 2, 2026). Prices written in the article text are our catalog's figures when it was written, and prices move — each phone's current price and its status (observed with a date, or an estimate) are on its page and in the “Phones mentioned” cards below.
In any given year you will find four or five versions of the same generation: 4G, 5G, Pro and Pro+, all carrying the Redmi Note name. The name by itself tells you nothing. What tells you something is our performance index out of 100 measured against the price, and that is what this guide follows.
The current generation: Note 15
The current generation starts at JOD 174 and tops out at JOD 366. Its biggest change is not the chip, it is the battery: for the first time you get 6580, 6500 and 6000 mAh cells in the same series, whereas every Note 14 Pro variant sat at 5110.
- Redmi Note 15 Pro+ — JOD 366, index 60, Snapdragon 7s Gen4, 6500 mAh with 100W charging, 6.83-inch AMOLED 1.5K at 120Hz, 200+8 camera, 12GB RAM.
- Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G — JOD 297, index 58, Dimensity 7400 Ultra, the largest battery in the series at 6580, but charging is 45W rather than 100W.
- Redmi Note 15 5G — JOD 208, index 52, Snapdragon 6 Gen3, 5520 mAh with 45W charging, 108+8 camera, 256GB storage.
- Redmi Note 15 4G — JOD 174, index 45, Helio G100 Ultra, 6000 mAh but only 33W charging and a 2-megapixel second camera.
How the price of an older generation falls
Take exactly the same tier — the Pro 5G — and follow the price across three generations: Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G at JOD 297, Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G at JOD 225, Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G at JOD 165. That is a drop of between 60 and 72 dinars per generation. The performance index, meanwhile, only moved from 58 to 54 to 52. The price gap is far wider than the performance gap.
The clearest example: Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G scores 52 at JOD 165, and Redmi Note 15 5G scores the same 52 at JOD 208. The extra JOD 43 buys a 5520 mAh battery instead of 5100 and a newer device, not more performance. And if fast charging matters to you, Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G at JOD 199 charges at 120W — faster than anything in the entire Note 15 generation.
Which generation is genuinely outdated
Not every older device is a bargain. Redmi Note 13 4G costs JOD 109 and scores 29, which is below Redmi Note 12R at JOD 68 with an index of 38. The R versions tell the same story: Redmi Note 13R costs JOD 95 with an IPS LCD screen at 90Hz, a 5-megapixel front camera and 18W charging. It carries the family name, not the family standard.
The bottom line: under JOD 170, a Note 13 Pro or a Note 14 gives you more performance than any new 4G model at the same price. Above JOD 250, Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G and Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G at JOD 279 share the same index of 58, and the difference between them is battery (6580 against 5110) and charging (45W against 120W). And always check for the 4G and R variants: same name, different phone.
