Buying advice for Algeria

Both phones sit in the same price band, so the choice comes down to specs and brand preference.
Xiaomi Poco C85 4G packs a 6000 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 posts a stronger benchmark score, useful for heavier games and multitasking on Algerian carriers' busier 4G networks.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 108 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.
