Following our analysis of the smaller Xiaomi 15, we’re now focusing on the Pro version of the Xiaomi 15 series, which is available as an import starting at about $828. Even though it is larger than its sibling, the Xiaomi 15 Pro comes with several benefits. Notably, its cooling system sets it apart from other flagship phones currently on the market. While the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite does show some slight performance drop in tests, the Xiaomi 15 Pro maintains its performance much better than the OnePlus 13, which can see performance cut almost in half.
Efficient Heat Management
The heat dissipation in the Xiaomi 15 Pro is quite effective, and our power consumption measurements reflect this. When it comes to idle mode and under heavy use, the power consumption remains relatively low, which is impressive considering it is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite. At times, the Xiaomi 15 Pro's power draw is even half that of the Nubia Z70 Ultra. You can find the detailed data from our review here.
Impressive Display and Battery
In terms of display, the Xiaomi 15 Pro comes equipped with a particularly efficient AMOLED screen. The LTPO panel is reported to use considerably less power than the screens found on many other similar smartphones. This significant improvement in battery life compared to the 14 Pro is largely due to the 6,100 mAh battery that uses silicon-carbon technology.
Our testing results with a set display brightness of 150 cd/m² offer the best comparison, as this brightness level is consistent across all devices we reviewed. In this scenario, the Xiaomi 15 Pro outlasts the 14 Pro by a full third, providing more than 24 hours of web browsing time.
