Verdict: REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G ahead on 1 row, REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G on none
On the makers’ published figures, the REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G wins on fast charging (100 W against 45 W). One gap is borderline, a difference most people would not notice: claimed video playback (27 h against 25 h) for the REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G. The differences in weight, battery capacity and battery per charge are below the thresholds you would notice. Both state the same display size, refresh rate, peak brightness, storage (base), RAM and battery lifespan. The other 31 rows have no threshold or no direction to judge by, so nobody wins them.

Specifications
A win is marked only where the figures can be ranked and the gap is one you could notice. A row the site has no threshold for says whether the two differ, and that it is not ranking them. = marks the same figure on both, ≠ not ranked a difference with no ranking. Every figure carries its source.
