Xiaomi recently unveiled the Xiaomi 15. It is one of the first phones to come with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, making it one of the most powerful devices in the market.
The Xiaomi 15 has a compact form factor. It sports a 6.36-inch AMOLED display with a 2670×1200 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3200 nits of brightness, and support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. The small footprint is further emphasized with narrow 1.38mm bezels all around.
The screen is protected by Xiaomi’s Dragon Crystal shatterproof glass, which is claimed to be 10x stronger than Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus. Meanwhile, the in-display fingerprint scanner has been upgraded with an ultrasonic variant. The back is also made of glass.
Under the hood, the handset is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which offers 12GB or 16GB RAM and up to 1TB storage options. It also has a large 5400mAh battery with 90W wired and 50W wireless fast charging.
As for the optics, the Xiaomi 15 boasts three 50MP sensors for the main, telephoto, and ultra-wide cameras, supported by Leica optics. A 32MP hole punch shooter in front takes care of selfies and video calls.
The Xiaomi 15 is offered in Lilac, Green, Black, White, and Silver colors. It also comes in a “Diamond Edition” variant with a crocodile grain leather back panel and an actual diamond on the side.
Moreover, a Custom Edition is also available where customers can choose from 20 color options for the back panel.
At this point, there’s no information yet on the phone’s arrival in the Philippines. However, since its predecessors all made it here, then it’s likely we’ll see it on our shores.
