The comparison depends on which Redmi 15 you mean. Xiaomi’s India page describes the Redmi 15 5G, while its Belgium page describes a separate Redmi 15 4G. The POCO in this comparison is the POCO M8 5G. For a like-for-like feature comparison, the India Redmi 15 5G and Taiwan POCO M8 5G pages show the key trade-off: the Redmi advertises a larger battery and a higher refresh-rate ceiling; the POCO lists an AMOLED display and faster charging. The available prices come from different countries, so they do not establish a direct price gap.
Which Redmi 15 is being compared?
Redmi 15 is not a single, interchangeable configuration across markets. Xiaomi’s Belgium specification page identifies a 4G model with a Snapdragon 685 and LTE connectivity. Xiaomi’s India product page identifies a different model, the Redmi 15 5G, with a Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 and 5G. The POCO specifications below are for the POCO M8 5G listed by Xiaomi Taiwan.

That distinction matters: comparing the Belgium Redmi 15 4G with the POCO M8 5G would be a comparison between an LTE phone and a 5G phone, not two 5G models. Confirm the exact model sold in your country before using any specification or price here.

Which has the better battery?
On listed capacity, the Redmi 15 5G is the larger-battery option: Xiaomi India advertises 7000 mAh, while Xiaomi Taiwan lists 5520 mAh typical for POCO M8 5G. Capacity alone does not establish which phone lasts longer in everyday use. The available specifications do not provide a controlled, head-to-head battery test.
Which phone has the better display?
The answer depends on what you value. Redmi 15 5G has the larger listed panel at 6.9 inches and a refresh-rate ceiling of up to 144 Hz. POCO M8 5G has a 6.77-inch Flow AMOLED display with a listed resolution of 2392 × 1080 and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. These specifications do not by themselves establish which screen looks better in person.

Charging and the POCO adapter caveat
POCO M8 5G lists 45 W charging, compared with 33 W charging for Redmi 15 5G. Xiaomi’s Taiwan POCO page says the 45 W power adapter is not included and recommends a compatible PD 45 W or official Xiaomi adapter. Package contents can vary by region, so check the box contents for the specific local model before buying an adapter.
Camera and performance: what the specifications can establish
The cited pages list a 50 MP AI dual camera for Redmi 15 5G and a 50 MP main camera for POCO M8 5G. They do not provide a controlled comparison of image quality. Likewise, the processor names identify different chipsets, but the available material does not establish a performance winner through independent benchmarks or head-to-head testing.

Which one should you choose?
- Consider Redmi 15 5G if its advertised 7000 mAh battery or up-to-144 Hz display is your priority and the local 5G version is available at a competitive price.
- Consider POCO M8 5G if you prefer the listed AMOLED panel or 45 W charging, and have confirmed the local package contents.
- Compare local listings before deciding: network bands, NFC, memory options, protection rating, warranty, package contents and sale prices can vary by region.
Neither model is an established overall winner from these specifications alone. The choice turns on your local variant and price, plus whether you value battery capacity and refresh rate or AMOLED and charging speed more.
