Weibo user WhyLab confirmed Redmi Note 15 Pro+ recently received certification from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). This confirms support for satellite messaging via the BeiDou system, a milestone that isn’t just a first for the Note series, but for Redmi as a whole.

According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the satellite messaging function will be exclusive to the Note 15 Pro+, and not all variants will include it. Xiaomi reportedly plans to offer this feature in a special edition of the phone, likely as a way to keep costs down while catering to users who truly need off-grid communication.
