We uploaded an unboxing and hands-on video of the Xiaomi 15 series on YouTube shortly after its launch. Following that, we shared a full review of the Xiaomi 15, which we think is a strong contender among compact flagships.
Now, our review of the Xiaomi 15 Pro is also live on YouTube. We chose the silver version for review, but it seems that might not have been the best choice.
It’s the flagship you want
For those unfamiliar, the Xiaomi 15 Pro comes in classic colors like Spruce Green, Rock Grey, and White, along with a Bright Silver edition, which we chose for our review.
However, its back has a highly glossy finish, making it unsurprisingly a fingerprint magnet. We recommend avoiding the silver version of the Xiaomi 15 Pro for this reason.
The phone features a 6.73-inch AMOLED display with flagship-grade specs, including a 120Hz refresh rate, 2K resolution, and 1920Hz PWM dimming. While it’s not the best display on the market, it’s more than adequate for content consumption and everyday use.
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, the Xiaomi 15 Pro outperforms the Xiaomi 14 Pro in various s, including Genshin Impact. What’s particularly impressive is its efficiency: the Xiaomi 15 Pro uses less power to run its display compared to the standard Xiaomi 14. It reportedly consumes 4.42W per second, whereas the Xiaomi 14 Pro consumes 6.17W per second.
This efficiency, combined with the phone’s massive 6,100mAh battery—the largest in a Xiaomi device—makes it highly durable. The camera performs well overall, but there’s room for improvement Check out our video review above for a detailed look at the pros and cons of the Xiaomi 15 Pro.
