We’ve been looking forward to this for weeks and they’re finally here. Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro are official and they have just appeared in their home country. The new duo moves straight to the top line, improving their designs, including best equipment at the moment and improving aspects such as the camera or battery life to become even more recommended options than the Xiaomi 14.
This is not to say that the Xiaomi 15 represents a radical upgrade over the previous generation. This is a fairly lengthy annual update, but it focuses on improve small details such as much more complex design or an increase in battery capacity that can significantly improve your daily autonomy.
Both devices are very similar to each other and their changes are revealed when you look closely at details such as the camera module or the integration of bezels with the back panel. Now everything is cleaner, the metal is matte, the back doesn’t protrude, and the blend with the large camera frame is great.
Rotating the mobile phone 180 degrees is another great upgrade to its screen. The front of the new Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro is impressive, and not because of the quality of the panel (also), but because front panel optimization. This year they are completely symmetrical and set a record for truly eye-catching visual design.
Essentially, these are devices that, from a distance, do not stand out as revolutionary, but which make a difference if you look at the details of their frames, the integration of the rear glass or new camera module with curvy shapes.
Xiaomi 15, improving in everything
Xiaomi not only managed to polish the aesthetics and add details that can only be seen in the largest models, but also wanted Fill both devices with new technologies and advancements. The most modest is Xiaomi 15, which is created for those users who prefer compact, but no less powerful devices.
In this sense, nothing is missing, since Xiaomi 15 includes the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, up to 16 GB of RAM, a dedicated coprocessor to improve the management of artificial intelligence functions and a greater commitment to the optimization that HyperOS 2.0 entails. A beast that can’t be compared to almost any other model on the market right now.
Leica continues to be the protagonist of the camera, having signed Triple 50 MP module with wide-angle (1x), telephoto (2.6x) and ultra-wide-angle (0.6x) sensors. Xiaomi gave a good photography lesson at its event and told us that there are improvements in the hardware and that Snapdragon 8 Elite support allows for much more interesting image processing. These are a couple of Xiaomi 15 examples.
To be able to take a look at all these photos, Xiaomi 15 is equipped with a 6.36-inch LIPO OLED screen with a resolution of 1.5K, 120Hz and a maximum brightness of 3200 nits. Of course you can use technologies like Dolby Vision and HDR10+. It’s not a massive upgrade over the Xiaomi 14, but it does improve levels of quality, brightness and detail, such as smaller bezels.
A good ending to the Xiaomi 15 is its battery. This is one of the sections on which the company worked the most, managing to integrate good amount of extra mAh almost the same size. This model now has a cell 5400 mAh, which is a significant difference from the 4610 mAh of the Xiaomi 14. It also packs the game with 90W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
Thanks to this increase in power and the significant optimization of HyperOS 2.0 announced by the company, the Xiaomi 15 as well as the 15 Pro can be positioned as one of the high-end options with the best battery life in the entire market. .
How much does Xiaomi 15 cost? The company has set the following prices for China, figures that do not reflect the reality in the West, even with changes. When this mobile phone arrives in Europe in 2025, it will be much more expensive.
- Xiaomi 15 | 12+256 GB: 4499 yuan or 583 euros

15 Pro: bigger and better
Once again, Xiaomi has decided that camera and size are the distinguishing features of both models. Xiaomi 15 Pro is not much better than 15, justbut it includes a larger screen, a more advanced primary sensor, higher-magnification optical zoom, and the obligatory extra battery capacity.
This Xiaomi 15 Pro follows the design lines with slightly larger dimensions, noting the main difference in the finishing of the screen. This time it doesn’t have a curved panel like the 14 Pro, but glass that covers 2.5D fronttherefore, it has a slight curve at all angles, which improves ergonomics.
As for the panel itself, the Xiaomi 15 Pro has two upgrades compared to the regular model: the diagonal increases to 6.73 inches And 2K resolution (3200 x 1440 pixels) instead of 1.5K. The remaining technologies, refresh rate or details such as brightness are identical and do not matter between both models. In this sense, Xiaomi has emphasized that despite having a 2K panel, its consumption is similar to that of a 1.5K panel, so this improvement should not affect autonomy.
The battery is another thing that has been upgraded compared to the regular Xiaomi 15. This larger model also has a larger cell. They used the same technology as the base model, so they achieved much higher energy density reach 6100 mAha figure that predicts record brand autonomy.
Finally, the most significant change in this Xiaomi 15 Pro It’s on camera. This model features a more sophisticated telephoto lens with a range of up to x5x optical zoom without loss of quality and digital x10 with minimal losses. In fact, the company noted that this sensor is inherited from the 14 Ultra, so it also allows the x20 to be used with a fairly clear digital presence and AI assistance.
