Editorial report

Xiaomi 15 12 GB / 512 GB / Global technical sheet

The Xiaomi 15 suits anyone looking for a compact premium phone who puts performance, the display, and camera versatility high on the list. Its 6.36-inch LTPO AMOLED display has a pixel density of 460 ppi, among the highest of its time, and peak brightness of 3200 nits, brighter than most phones launched around the same time.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite comes with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, both more than most phones of its time offer. Its AnTuTu result of 2,534,638 is among the best. The 120 Hz refresh rate, by contrast, is typical for that period. The 50 MP camera's 1/1.31-inch sensor and f/1.6 aperture are among the strongest camera specifications of their time, and optical image stabilization is included. A telephoto camera adds 2.6x optical zoom, better than most phones of its time.

The 5,240 mAh battery has a typical capacity, but 90 W wired charging exceeds what most phones of its time offer, while 50 W wireless charging is among the highest figures. The Xiaomi 15 also has IP68 protection and Android 15. With an overall NeoScore of 8.6, it is a particularly strong fit for buyers who prioritize performance, a high-density display, and a versatile camera setup.
