Verdict on the Xiaomi 15: Solid flagship with top hardware

[Redaktion]

With the Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi is steadfastly sticking to its policy of offering small flagship smartphones. The 6.36-inch device is extremely fast with Snapdragon 8 Elite, impresses with very long battery life and the 120 Hz display delivers over 3,500 nits. However, there are small compromises with the triple camera.

Actually the 2.6x optical zoom is the same as the Xiaomi 14. Xiaomi 14 also changes from the main camera to the telephoto at 2.6x which means the optical zoom is also 2.6x. The 3.2x is achieved by some sort of crop but isn't pure optical zoom

The eight-core processor, manufactured with a 3 nanometer structure width, helps the device achieve raw performance that not only clearly surpasses its predecessor, but also leaves the preceding Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the dust.

Isn't this statement redundant?
