Weekly poll: which, if any, of the Redmi 15 models would you buy or recommend to someone else?
A couple of weeks ago, Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi 15 series. There are two 4G models and there will be two 5G ones – the Redmi 15C 5G is late to the party, but it's on the way. We know that these are not glamorous, but they are competent phones on the cheap – would you buy one for yourself or recommend it to a family member? Which one? Let's start with the Redmi 15 5G. This one is powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3, a 6nm chip with ARMv8 era cores and an Adreno 619 GPU. Other than that, it's basically identical to the 4G variant. Redmi 15 5G The Redmi 15 4G uses the Snapdragon 685, even though the 6s Gen 3 has a 4G variant (by name only, the silicon is actually a Snapdragon 695). Not that it makes much difference. What does make a difference is that the 4G model has a microSD slot on top of a second storage option (256GB, the 5G variant is available only with 128GB storage). These two have huge 6.9' IPS LCDs that run surprisingly fast for such affordable handsets, 144Hz. The 1080p+ resolution is also a welcome sight. They have equally huge 7,000mAh batteries (with 33W fast charging) and are rated IP64 for splash resistance. The rear camera has a 50MP sensor and tops out at 1080p @ 30fps video, the front one is an 8MP snapper. Redmi 15 4G There were no vanilla Redmi 14 models, so we have to turn to the Redmi 13 5G and 13 4G. Those had 6.79' IPS LCDs (120Hz and 90Hz, respectively) and more basic IP53 ratings. Their batteries were 5,030mAh. Interestingly, the older models had better cameras – 108MP on the back and 13MP on the front. Also, the 13-series had 3.5mm headphone jacks, which are absent from the 15-series pair. The Redmi 15C 4G also has a 6.9' display, a 120Hz IPS LCD, but it only has 720p+ resolution. At this size, it will be quite noticeable. The 15C is powered by the Helio G81 Ultra, which is a fairly old 12nm chipset. At least it has a microSD slot and a 3.5mm jack. Also, its battery is smaller at 6,000mAh (but it still supports 33W charging). There was a Redmi 14C 4G, which is quite similar to this one, save for the smaller 5,160mAh battery with a lower 18W charge rating. Redmi 15C 4G Here are the current prices of the Redmi 15 models: Pricing 128GB 256GB Redmi 15C 4G €115 - Redmi 15 4G €150 €175 Redmi 15 5G €210 - Would you buy a Redmi 15 5G for yourself or recommend it to a friend or family member? What about the Redmi 15 4G - is 5G a must-have feature or is 4G still okay for cheap phones? Speaking of cheap phones, what do you think of the Redmi 15C 4G? PS. If you have your sights set on a different entry-level phone, tell us about it in the comments.

Weekly poll results: the ringer is off all the time for many, others switch manually
Last week, we asked you whether you keep your phone ringer on and, if you do, what ringtone do you use. As we suspected, the 'ringer on all the time' option was the less common choice, but it's still how a quarter of voters use their phone daily. Then there is a nearly dead-even split between those who keep their phones on vibrate all the time and those who switch manually. Of the latter, some are lucky enough to still have a physical switch, but there will be fewer and fewer such phones as time goes by. Whether by switch or by using the settings, people who toggle their ringers based on where they are and what they are doing tend to enable it when outside or in otherwise noisy environments. Interestingly, quite a few people reported that they use some sort of automation to change the ringer profile, e.g. putting the phone on silent at night. Alternatively, some rely on smartwatches/bands for notifications, but those make up less than 10% of voters. Reading through the comments, we saw quite a few people complaining that the vibration on their phones is weak – we suspect that more people would go the 'vibrate only' route if vibration motors get a boost in power. Among people whose phones ring for incoming calls and messages, nearly half use a custom ringtone. Nearly. Usually, it's either a song they like or a particular tone from an old phone. The former change the song often enough, the latter have found the perfect ringtone and are sticking to it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Still, the majority of people use a ringtone that was included by the manufacturer – it's a 3:2 split between those who listen to the preloaded ringtones and pick one and those who never change the setting and just use the default ringtone.
