Redmi 15c 173mm

Redmi 15C 173 mm — how to identify your variant

Phones in two body sizes are sold under the Redmi 15C name. All of them have a 6.9-inch IPS LCD screen (1600 × 720, 120 Hz) protected by Gorilla Glass 3, a 6000 mAh battery with 33 W charging via USB-C, a plastic frame and back and an IP64 rating. They differ in dimensions:

• 173 mm version — 173.16 × 81.07 × 8.2 mm, about 211 g (according to Wikipedia, these are the dimensions of the Redmi 15C 5G and POCO C85 5G),
• 171 mm version — 171.56 × 79.47 × 7.99 mm, about 204 g.

Accessory makers’ labels do not always match the 4G/5G split — some glass described as “173 mm” lists both the Redmi 15C 4G and 5G. That is why the most reliable method is to measure the height of the phone or check its dimensions in the settings or manual. If it comes out at about 173 mm, you are in the right category.

Tempered glass for the Redmi 15C 173 mm

The flat 6.9-inch screen works well with classic tempered glass. In this category you will find:

Black-frame glass

It covers the display right up to the edge, and the black strip masks the screen bezel and the adhesive area. It is also sold in multi-packs, which makes replacement after scratching easier.

Clear glass

Slightly narrower than the screen, so it does not clash with the edge of a case. A good solution for people who use thicker cases.

Fitting and choosing screen protection

• Preparation — before applying, degrease the screen and remove dust with the sticker included in the kit.
• Glass frame — the black strip should line up with the screen bezel; if it overlaps the display, the glass is meant for the other variant.
• POCO compatibility — the names of some glass protectors also list the POCO C85; go by the stated 173 mm size.

Where to find other Redmi 15C accessories

You will find cases and additional glass for specific versions in the Redmi 15C 5G and Redmi 15C 4G categories, and an overview of the whole family in Redmi 15C. The phone charges via USB-C at 33 W and supports Power Delivery, so a universal USB-C charger will charge it too; you will find a spare cable in the USB-A to USB-C cables category.

Frequently asked questions

Does glass for the Redmi 15C 171 mm fit the 173 mm version?

No. Both versions have a 6.9-inch screen, but their body outlines differ, and edge-to-edge glass is matched to a specific outline. Smaller glass will leave the edges exposed, and larger glass will not fit on the smaller phone.

How do I measure my phone?

A ruler held against the longer side without a case is enough — a reading of about 173 mm means this version, about 171.5 mm means the smaller one.
