Reviews for the Xiaomi 15

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.
