88.4% Xiaomi 15 smartphone review - Xiaomi's flagship phone sets new benchmarks for performance and battery life | Notebookcheck
The Snapdragon 8 Elite makes the Xiaomi 15 one of the fastest Android phones currently on the market. Plus, the 6.36-inch Xiaomi flagship has a lot more to offer, such as record runtimes and an even brighter display that can reach peaks of 3500 nits. Our test will reveal how much the competition has to live up to.
89% Xiaomi 15 review: A compact beast
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English
Alright with this, I think I have covered most parts of my experience with the Xiaomi 15 and I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see compact phones being such all round packages. The Xiaomi 15 has everything you would expect from a good phone, a nice display, handy, comfortable design, good battery life, fast charging, reliable performance, everything. My only gripe with this phone is, I was expecting the cameras to be better, they are good, but I think I just had higher expectations. And considering all that the xiaomi 15 offers, it definitely deserves to be called the best compact flagship phone right now. The Xiaomi 15 is a powerhouse in a small package, packing with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and a bigger battery that actually lasts longer.

89.9% Xiaomi 15 Pro review - One of the most efficient flagship smartphones thanks to a special display | Notebookcheck
Buyers of a Xiaomi 15 Pro can look forward to the best smartphone hardware in the shape of a Snapdragon 8 Elite, a huge silicon-carbon battery, and Leica Summilux cameras. The Xiaomi phone additionally has an extremely attractive price tag—but this comes with a catch.
Xiaomi 15 Pro Preview: Another strong Android contender
Source: Phone Arena English
It's too early to say, but what we can say from the specs and the early previews is that the Xiaomi 15 Pro is a serious Android contender, up there with the OnePlus 13, the Honor Magic 7 Pro, and the upcoming Galaxy S25 series, as well. The phone comes with a great package, now featuring a periscope zoom lens, keeping the great screen from its predecessor but utilizing new materials to make it brighter, and last but not least, featuring one of the largest batteries on a flagship. The deciding factor here will be global pricing and availability, so we need to wait a bit more to stamp our final verdict on this one.

Xiaomi 15 Pro Review: The Most Powerful Phone Ever Made?
Source: Igeekphone English
In actual performance tests, the Xiaomi 15 Pro demonstrates a remarkable 44.4% increase in single-core performance, a 37.7% increase in multi-core performance, and nearly a 40% boost in GPU performance compared to the previous generation. This marks the largest performance leap in mobile phones over the past decade, truly achieving a generational breakthrough. During the gaming test with “Genshin Impact”—formerly known as a “hardware killer”—the Xiaomi 15 Pro now runs the game almost effortlessly. Under full-frame operation, power consumption remains at just 3.72W, showing an energy efficiency improvement of over 20%. In the new “hardware killer” title, “Honkai Impact 3rd,” the Xiaomi 15 Pro runs at full frame with a power consumption of only 3.69W, maintaining a temperature of under 40 degrees Celsius on the back.

Xiaomi 15 Pro Review
Source: Vopmart English
To summarize, the Xiaomi 15 Pro excels in hardware configuration, imaging system, battery life charging and other aspects. If you pursue top performance and photo experience, then this phone is definitely worth considering. However, the price starting at 749.8USD is really not low, so if you have a limited budget, you can consider other models with better cost performance.
