The design of the Xiaomi Mi 15 smartphone is amazing. It has improved the right-angle frame, and the transition between the middle frame and the screen and back panel is more natural, and it feels warm and comfortable. The front of the phone has achieved a true four-sided narrow design, with a frame as narrow as 1.38mm, which is better than the 1.41mm of the iPhone 16 Pro. It is one of the best mobile phones on the market with a front screen.
Xiaomi Mi 15 has a 6.36-inch OLED screen, using the new M9 luminous material, which fully surpasses the C8 screen of Xiaomi Mi 14. With a pixel density of 460 PPI, the screen peak brightness can reach 3200 nits, and it supports 120Hz adaptive refresh rate.
In the ordinary frame structure, the screen cable COP area needs to be connected to the middle frame with adhesive. The LIPO three-dimensional packaging process wraps the screen cable area through low-pressure injection molding technology, so that the screen cable COP area can be directly attached to the middle frame. Therefore, the frame of Xiaomi Mi 15 can be 1.38mm.
Xiaomi Mi 15 has full DC dimming turned on by default, and supports two major functions: Rhythm Eye Care 2.0 and Healthy Eye Reminder. The former reads the sleep pattern of the device, matches the user’s work and rest, and adjusts the screen brightness and color temperature in real time; the latter uses the front camera to monitor the user’s eye status and provides reminders such as using the eyes for too long and too close.
In addition, Xiaomi Mi 15 has upgraded the ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking function, which has increased the unlocking speed by 50%. Whether it is wet hands or oily hands, the phone can be successfully unlocked.
The back of the fuselage adopts a frosted process, which greatly improves the anti-fingerprint ability, which is very friendly for users with obsessive-compulsive disorder or cleanliness. Even if it is used without a case, Xiaomi Mi 15 will not get dirty. Moreover, the matte body forms a sharp contrast with the lens glass, further enhancing the texture of the whole machine. The low-key and restrained black color vaguely reveals a simple and advanced beauty.
In terms of performance, as the world’s first mobile phone equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the Xiaomi Mi 15 smartphone performs extremely well. Taking “Genshin Impact” as an example, it can increase the rendering resolution to 1200P. In the theoretical performance test, GeekBench 6 single-core running score is 3011 points, multi-core score is 9262 points, and GFXBench 1080P Aztec Ruins Vulkan average frame rate is 288fps. Both the CPU and GPU crush the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 and Apple A18 processors. In actual games, Xiaomi 15 is almost full frame throughout the whole process, and the maximum body temperature is only 42℃ (room temperature 26℃), and the temperature is concentrated in the upper half, and the heat in the lower half is not obvious. Ultra-low power consumption with a large 5400mAh battery, the daily battery life can reach about 9 hours under heavy use.
The imaging system is a highlight of the Xiaomi 15 smartphone. Its camera specifications are as follows: the main camera is the Light Hunter 900 (OV50H), with a 23mm focal length, 50 million pixels, f/1.6, OIS optical image stabilization, ALD coating, and 7P aspherical lens; the ultra-wide angle is Samsung JN1, with a 14mm focal length, a 115° viewing angle, 50 million pixels, and f/2.2; the telephoto is Samsung JN5, 60mm (native 2.6x, default 3.2x), 50 million pixels, f/2.0, OIS, and a closest focus of 10cm. Although the configuration seems to be basically the same as that of Xiaomi 14, the mature camera algorithm makes the photo-taking experience completely different. It can balance pleasing and realism in cloudy scenes, and can accurately reflect the color and shape of objects in backlighting without blindly suppressing highlights. The Leica flavor has been restrained, and more attention is paid to the original real colors in bright and colorful scenes. In street shooting and professional modes, combined with Leica’s classic tones, it is suitable for shooting humanistic subjects. In telephoto scenes with complex lighting, the new algorithm allows this small-bottom main camera to provide a good picture experience, with excellent detail restoration and purity. The 60mm telephoto lens is suitable for taking half-length portraits and has a good sense of spatial compression when taking landscapes. Compared with the 120mm telephoto lens of the iPhone 16 Pro, it is more in line with daily usage habits, and its telephoto macro filming rate is high, which is suitable for shooting small objects with rich details. Its image performance is not even inferior to that of the Xiaomi 14 Pro.
HyperOS 2 equipped with the Xiaomi 15 smartphone also brings a new experience. It solves the file transfer troubles with Apple devices. Download the Xiaomi Internet Service software on the Mac, log in to the account and be on the same WiFi, you can see the Xiaomi 15 in the software, and you can directly drag and drop to send pictures or files. The system has smoother dynamic details, solves some strange problems of the previous generation, and adds many new features. In the field of small-screen flagship mobile phones, the Xiaomi 15 is indeed highly competitive and provides consumers with an attractive choice.
