Xiaomi 15 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi 15 Pro - one step away from flagship heights

The line of top smartphones from the Chinese company Xiaomi includes several devices with different indexes. Thus, Ultra-phones strive to demonstrate the full potential of the developer, and Pro-versions strive to show a wonderful balance of price and quality. The hero of today's review belongs to the latest models, but in terms of functionality, it is ready to give battle to expensive alternatives from competing brands.

The appearance of the new product is more interesting than that of its predecessor. In many ways, this is due to the updated triple camera unit, which looks more modern. The dimensions of the glass case, clad in metal, remained approximately the same, the display frames with a built-in fingerprint sensor have slightly decreased. Thus, it is difficult to find fault with the design. There are no obvious drawbacks in the 6.73-inch AMOLED screen. The impressive resolution of 3220x1440 pixels is complemented by an optimal 120 Hz refresh rate, almost reaching 5000 nits maximum brightness, natural color rendition and an effective oleophobic layer even on the included protective film. I would also like to note the presence of moisture protection (IP68) in the device. It was definitely not easy to fit it into such a graceful monoblock.

Of course, the technical characteristics include the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite (Gen 4) CPU, 12 GB/16 GB RAM and Adreno 830 video accelerator. The bundle is the best today in terms of performance. It scores more than three million points in the AnTuTu benchmark, so questions about the slowdown of the Android 15 interface (HyperOS shell) or lags in any resource-intensive games become irrelevant. The battery, which has grown to 5500 mAh, helps the device not to discharge in a matter of hours. So, you will have to look for an outlet once every day and a half, there is both a wired charging method (90 W) and a wireless one (50 W). Of course, the technological gadget could not do without the corresponding internal storage of 256/512/1024 GB.

The main photo module OmniVision OVX9000 with hybrid stabilization (50 MP) achieves excellent results in both daytime and evening shooting. It allows you to avoid loss of detail or an abundance of blur, and also carefully treats the color rendering of the photo. Surprises with its capabilities in the stunning 50-megapixel wide-angle module and telephoto lens (five-fold optical zoom) Sony IMX858. The sound also does not fail. The stereo speakers are pleasing with their volume, their frequency response is quite smooth. The long list of advantages is expanded by an infrared port for controlling household appliances, NFC support, and modem operation in 5G networks. As a result, the phablet will appeal to even the most sophisticated fan of portable electronics.
