Xiaomi 15 Pro design
The camera module is large and square, providing a premium look. The phone’s design is appealing and feels nice in the hand. The 6100 mAh battery is impressive, but the thickness and in-hand feel suggest a 5000 mAh battery. The phone’s weight is also intriguing.
But no, it’s 6100 mAh, so look at the weight. It’s full, it feels totally filled inside. It’s 216.1g. this phone is 10g lighter than the Xiaomi 14 Pro. But the battery has increased by at least 1100-1200 mAh.
Xiaomi 15 Pro display and specs
If we talk about the display, it’s a micro quad curved display. And I’m very happy, I said the same thing in the previous unboxing. The flagships that are coming now aren’t 3D curved. Because of that, the unintended touches are very less. This is the best of both worlds.
It’s flat, which is good for gaming. And you also have that curve to give you that premium-ness. And just like the flagship unboxing, the bezels are nearly gone. You can’t see the side bezels. Even the chin is absolutely very small. I mean, the screen-to-body ratio is above 94%. If I talk about the display, it’s a 6.73” TCL panel.
The rest use BOE panels, but this is a TCL panel. And there are some good things about it. Firstly, it’s a 2K display with an adaptive refresh rate. And that adaptive refresh rate is so good, when you swipe, touch, open apps, etc. It reduces the refresh rate very smoothly. So you can feel that. Another thing, this display supports Dolby Vision.
Yes, it’s a 12-bit display, so the colors look good. Display- Full, Big, Thumbs Up. The peak brightness is at 3200 nits. So it’s not like the other flagships which have a peak brightness of 4500-5600 nits. If I talk about its protection, there’s something like Ceramic 2.0 & Ceramic Shield in China.
But when it comes to India, maybe it’ll be on Gorilla Glass not too sure. Alright, if we talk about the specs. It comes on Qualcomm SD8 Elite. Its base variant is 12 RAM 256 ROM with LPDDR5X RAM type & UFS 4.0 storage type. It has a 6100 mAh battery, 90W charging & 50W wireless charging.
Xiaomi 15 Pro performance and sensors
Fast charging has reduced a bit, but the battery capacity has increased. And it’s a 3Nm processor, so it’ll last you easily for 1.5-2 days. It has silicon carbon batteries, which are high-density batteries. So that’s a very good thing. Let’s talk about its performance. We’ve tested 3-4 phones on SD8 Elite & the AnTuTu score is 2.7, 2.75 & 2.8.
But no one has touched 3M. We tested it on 2.5M. We thought it might be a bit hot at 30 degrees, so we kept it in the fridge & tested it. It was even less hot.
we think because of that, they’ve not been able to tame that beast called SD8 Elite. But you won’t know about its regular usage. we’ll say that when you use this phone & get used to it, the smoothness, animations & transitions are beautiful. And this is because of HyperOS, which is a feature-rich OS.
It’s based on Android 15. We don’t know about the updates. It’s going to launch in mid to end Feb. But that’s what it is. Performance We tested Geekbench as well. it’s not giving the performance that is expected out of SD8 Elite.
Xiaomi 15 Pro AI Features
it’s good that it has an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. And I think that’s a trend. All the Pro flagships have ultrasonic sensors, which is a good thing. The rest all have sensors. AI Features It has AI writing features, which I think are inspired by iOS. And you can take a bunch of photos or videos with it.
And you can create a complete video out of it with the help of AI. And it has all the features like Expansion, Eraser, Sky Replace. Camera Unfortunately, the camera is not as good as I expected. It’s a partnership with Leica. You expect a lot from Leica’s modes. In 2-3 things, and again this is a Chinese variant.
Xiaomi 15 Pro camera and connectivity
There are photos in the original quality. If We talK 4K 120FPS mode that we saw in other flagships. It boils down to 1 reason, thermals. Because when you shoot in 4K 120FPS, will it be able to handle it or not? But yes, the 4K 60FPS that we shot, good results, OIS stabilisation etc.
It worked quite well. But we’d like to talk about the thermals. Even in regular usage, it feels slightly warm in the hand. Even if you’re doing normal things. But 1 thing is definitely good. Earlier in Xiaomi 14 Pro, it used to have a 3.2X telephoto sensor. Now there’s a 5X telephoto or periscope sensor.
You can take 5X portraits. There are absolutely no problems. So that’s an upgrade. And remember, Xiaomi 14 Ultra has the same 5X sensor. In telephoto, you can go for 10X, 20X, or 30X. With the help of AI, it brings in the details. Zoom photos also come out quite well. If we talk about the selfie, you get a 32MP selfie sensor.
Regarding the rear sensors, you get 50MP plus 50MP sensors. And if I talk about the other features, there’s Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, Bluetooth 5.4, and an IR blaster, too, but it’s not on the top. There’s a camera module inside, and there’s a third microphone, too. Unlike other phones, it’s IP68.
And there’s a ceramic shield too. It’s in the Chinese variant, but if it comes to India, then it’ll be on the Gorilla Glass Victus. There’s 50W wireless charging. So if I sum up the Xiaomi 15 Pro, I liked 2-3 things.
1st is the look. I really like the in-hand feel. How it looks. The display is amazing. And the best thing is that it has a big battery. It’s going to last you really long, that’s for sure. If I talk about areas of improvement, then in performance, it definitely needs to give more. The performance of the 8 Elite has to come closer to that.
And the camera is definitely in dynamic range. Everything else is good, but yes, you’ll have to work on the dynamic range. But again, this is the Chinese variant. So when it comes to India, it’ll be optimized. We’ll wait for that. So do wait for that. If you have any questions, do ask them in the comments.
