Review of the Xiaomi 15: An alluring small phone with exceptional photos

As I've said many times before, I just adore little smartphones. And no one is happier than you if they have a ton of features. I couldn't stop gushing about the Samsung Galaxy S25's svelte and elegant design in my review. I'm equally enthralled with the new Xiaomi 15, and I think that this year might be the one when the globe pays more attention to the small size.The Xiaomi 15 has been in my possession for a few weeks. I'm in love with the recently released gadget, which costs Rs 64,999. I'll try to explain my experience in this review so you can make an informed choice. Let's examine the Xiaomi 15's performance, design, and cameras to see how it stacks up against other small, high-end Android smartphones.

The Xiaomi 15's design incorporates elements of the Xiaomi 14's style. With a weight of slightly less than 200 g, it is in reality a more pleasant form factor than the majority of flagships available on the market. Naturally, I relished the freedom granted by the device's one-handed operation without sacrificing its functionality.Therefore, the best you can hope for if you're looking for a "small" phone in 2025 is something between 6.1 and 6.3 inches. Furthermore, the Xiaomi 15—the company's most recent worldwide release—is the greatest tiny phone. It is more powerful than Google's soon-to-be released Pixel 9a and has a better camera and screen than Samsung's base-model S25 or Apple's iPhone 16 or 16e. However, as has been the case with Xiaomi's recent international launches, the pricing is excessively exorbitant in Europe (€999, or $1,092), but it's quite appealing in Asia (around HK$5,000, or $643, in Hong Kong).
