Xiaomi 15 Pro review: specs, battery & used prices
Hands-on-style overview of the Xiaomi 15 Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite (Gen 4): screen, cameras, battery, performance and what it costs used.
Summary
The Xiaomi 15 Pro pairs Xiaomi's 2024 flagship formula with the Snapdragon 8 Elite: a 6.73-inch OLED at 3,200 nits — among the brightest panels we track — a 6,100 mAh battery with 90 W charging, and a triple 50 MP Leica-tuned camera. It sold new for about $1,010, and used units now trade between roughly $667 and $743 depending on storage.
Display and design
The 6.73-inch panel combines a 3,200-nit peak with 120 Hz for a screen-quality score of 91/100, level with the catalog leaders. At 213 g with a compactness score of 73/100, it is a substantial but manageable flagship, rated IP68.
Performance
The Snapdragon 8 Elite keeps the phone at the top of the Android performance tier: our gaming score of 79/100 means sustained 3D gaming at the front of the field, with the large vapour chamber holding frame rates under load. Roughly two years of the four-year support window remain — adequate, not class-leading.
Camera
The triple 50 MP system with Leica colour science — stabilised main, ultrawide, and periscope telephoto — captures video up to 8K at 30 fps. Our camera score of 60/100 sits at the top of the catalog, and the telephoto's reach is a particular strength for a non-Ultra Xiaomi.
Battery and charging
The 6,100 mAh battery earns a 62/100 battery-life score — among the best endurance in the flagship class — with 90 W wired charging restoring a full charge in about 40 minutes for a charging score of 71/100.
Verdict
The Xiaomi 15 Pro is the complete 2024 flagship at 2026 used prices: around $667–743 buys top-tier display, performance, camera, and battery in one device. Its weaknesses are support runway and import-channel availability. If you want the longest possible software life, a same-price Samsung or Google flagship will serve longer; if you want maximum hardware per dollar, this is among the strongest packages we track. The newer Xiaomi 17 Pro trades screen size for endurance and the newest chip.
