Design and build quality of Redmi 15C phone
The Redmi 15C makes a strong first impression in terms of design and build quality. The large 6.9-inch screen makes it difficult to work with one hand. But the positive thing here is that the phone has an acceptable quality. Of course, the weight of 205 grams is too much for an economy. But 15C has reached this weight mostly due to its very large size, which for big screen lovers, this high weight is not considered a weakness at all. The phone has a flat frame that helps it sit firmly in the hand. A topic that was absolutely necessary for a product of this size and dimension.

The back panel, however, is made of shiny glass and is a little thin, and you have to be careful not to let it slip out of your hands. However, we see a very beautiful effect in the blue color of Redmi 15C.
