I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a compact!

Purchased on April 26, 2025 Cameras - big plus for those who know how to "play" with settings, the phone can produce amazing photos. As for the video... I can't say anything bad, it records great. Ergonomics - just top-notch, I was specifically looking for a compact smartphone, you get used to the size almost immediately. As for the package - the European version comes without a power adapter, there is a case included! Unfortunately, the power adapter was not sold separately at that time, so I bought it with the cable, adding +€49. Sound is good, the vibration motor (for those who use it) is also pleasing. Battery - unfortunately, I can't say anything bad or great, it just performs well. It’s not enough for one day of ACTIVE use, unfortunately. Now, with over 300 charge cycles, the battery has 97% capacity. Regarding the original charger at maximum power - the phone heats up quite a bit (there is a quiet mode, without heating but not as fast). As for games - performs excellently, 8Elite runs everything at maximum quality. During heavy gaming, the phone noticeably heats up after about 40 minutes. It's hard to find a good case (for myself). A good phone for those looking specifically for a compact device with photo and video capabilities, for games or everyday use.
Good connectivity Top-notch cameras Sound Ergonomics Vibration motor Powerful processor
It's better to wait for the Xiaomi 17 and order it from Europe for that kind of money.

1. Price. In all European countries, this model costs 543 EUR. Only in Ukraine during the 11.11 sale or Black Friday can this smartphone be sold for almost 40,000 UAH.
Compact. Good camera, fast processor.
Weak or almost weak battery. Even in xiaomi 15T pro the battery is better.

Top-notch Equipment
The smartphone features a comfortable 6.36-inch display. It is based on an OLED panel with LTPO technology, providing an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1 to 120 Hz. Complementing the high-quality screen, the device is equipped with a powerful hardware platform: a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and a high-speed UFS 4.0 storage with a capacity of 256 GB.
Photo and Video Capabilities
Flagship Xiaomi smartphones are traditionally strong in mobile photography and videography. This model features a main camera with a "three by fifty" configuration and Leica optics. It includes the Light Fusion 900 main sensor, a telephoto lens with optical stabilization, and an ultra-wide-angle module. Video recording on the main camera is available in resolutions up to 8K at 30 frames per second. The 32 MP front camera is housed in a neat round screen cutout.
Balance of Qualities
The device’s autonomy is supported by a 5240 mAh battery with fast wired and wireless charging support rated at 90 W and 50 W respectively. The body of the device is reliably protected from dust and water impact according to the IP68 standard. As a result, the Xiaomi 15 presents itself as a well-balanced compact flagship with convenient dimensions and a well-thought-out set of features.
