O Xiaomi 15 é um dos dois novos smartphones topo de linha do fabricante chinês, anunciado na Mobile World Congress 2025 em Barcelona. Embora não seja tão chamativo visualmente quanto o Xiaomi 15 Ultra, ele oferece muitas das mesmas funcionalidades impressionantes. Em alguns aspectos, até supera seu irmão Ultra.

Este celular possui especificações incríveis, incluindo uma tela grande e brilhante, câmeras otimizadas pela Leica, uma bateria robusta de 5.240 mAh e o mais recente chipset Snapdragon 8 Elite. Ele roda Android 15 com a interface HyperOS 2 da Xiaomi, proporcionando uma experiência de usuário distinta que difere do software padrão do Google.

Conforme detalhado em nossa análise completa do Xiaomi 15, trata-se de um dispositivo altamente capaz, mesmo sem o selo Ultra. No entanto, sua disponibilidade é limitada, especialmente nos Estados Unidos e na América do Norte. Além disso, enfrenta forte concorrência de outros smartphones Android de ponta, que têm maior alcance de mercado, incluindo os melhores celulares Android.

Análise do Xiaomi 15: preço e disponibilidade

The Xiaomi 15 isn’t available in the U.S., as is tradition with Xiaomi handsets. The company hasn’t officially sold any of its previous models in the U.S., and it’s not about to start now. That said the phone is officially on sale in the U.K., and you can buy it right now.

Prices start at £899 for 256GB of storage, while a larger 512GB storage option will cost at least £999. That’s actually slightly more expensive than the Xiaomi 14, which started at £849, and comes in slightly higher than the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S25 and iPhone 16.

However since those phones all feature 128GB in their cheaper base models, the Xiaomi 15 is pretty evenly priced considering the 256GB storage you get.

Análise do Xiaomi 15: recursos de design e exibição

The Xiaomi 15 has a 6.36-inch AMOLED display offering 1200 x 2670 resolution and a dynamic 1-120Hz refresh rate. Like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, the screen on this model is rated for up to 3,200 nits of brightness, and includes support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. There’s an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the bottom of the screen as well.

Sadly, the Xiaomi 15 comes with the first generation Shield Glass, which debuted on the Xiaomi 14 series last year. That means the screen isn’t quite as durable as the Ultra, which offers a newer generation of screen protection. That said the Xiaomi 15 does still come with a High-Strength Aluminum frame and IP68 water and dust resistance.

At 191 grams (6.73 ounces), this model is also noticeably lighter than its 8-ounce Ultra counterpart. The 0.31-inch thickness also makes it slightly slimmer than the Ultra. While not the slimmest phone you can buy, the Xiaomi 15 features the same thickness as the iPhone 16. So clearly Xiaomi must be doing something right.

The screen on the Xiaomi 15 is nice enough, and plenty bright, but it’s not quite as captivating as the one on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. That said, I have absolutely no complaints about the screen or the viewing experience, especially when streaming movies on Disney Plus.

The design of the Xiaomi 15 isn’t quite as impressive as the Ultra, either. While the matte glass back is very nice in itself, the fact that Xiaomi has the enlarged square camera bump doesn’t look quite as impressive.

I’m glad that the Xiaomi 15's camera array is smaller, and not that much bigger than an iPhone 16 Pro Max’s camera. But the Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s Silver Chrome edition offers a retro-camera-inspired design that makes everything else look poorer by comparison.

review do Xiaomi 15: desempenho da câmera

The Xiaomi 15 has three rear cameras, each offering 50MP resolution and tuned with Leica optics. They include a standard main lens, an ultrawide angle shooter and a telephoto lens sporting 2.6x optical magnification. A 32MP selfie camera is up front on the phone.

Specs only tell us so much about what a camera is capable of, though. So to see what the Xiaomi 15 is capable of, I put it head to head against the Google Pixel 9 Pro. While this is one of the best camera phones on sale, it couldn’t quite keep up with the Xiaomi 15 Ultra when shooting photos. So let’s see how the standard model from Xiaomi compares.

Testing the main camera lens, a photo shot by the Xiaomi 15 comes out a lot cooler than the Pixel 9 Pro did — which has a warmer, more orange-like look to it. That said, you can still see the effect of the setting sun in both images. In this instance the Xiaomi photo looks a little more true-to-life, but it does look slightly more washed out in the process.

However, the fact the coloring looks more realistic gives Xiaomi's photo the edge, as does the fact the overall photo is a little crisper than what Google has to offer, so that smaller details appear a little more clearly in the Xiaomi 15 shot.

Taking the action indoors, you can see how much of an impact these cameras have had on my Lego space shuttle. Xiaomi's attempt is brighter and slightly sharper, but it hasn’t quite got the colors of the scene quite right. It’s making the shuttle look a little more yellow than it is, while failing to capture the gloss finish of the parks.

The Pixel 9 Pro not only looks white, you can actually see some semblance of my office windows reflected in the shiny plastic finish. The Pixel even managed to pick up all the stray dust particles as well as the Xiaomi 15 (don’t judge my cleanliness from this), even if the picture is a little blurrier up close.

Both ultrawide lenses produced photos that came out a lot darker than they should have, blanketing the tower in shadow that wasn’t nearly as prominent in real life.

The Xiaomi 15 produced lighter images, which works in its favor here, but not by much, and it’s actually difficult to differentiate between the two shots. That said, zoom in far enough and you can see that the Pixel is significantly blurred and pixelated around the edge of the tower — while the Xiaomi 15 is not.

The telephoto shots don’t look all that dissimilar at first glance, The Pixel’s shot is warmer, once again capturing more of the glow of the setting sun, but not by a whole lot. However it seems that the Xiaomi 15 loses the quality battle this time, and you only need to zoom in a little bit to start seeing evidence of that.

The tracks in the dirt aren’t quite as obvious in Xiaomi's shot, and the tower in the distance is a lot blurrier when you look a little closer. Not that the Pixel’s tower is crystal clear, of course, but it is a little crisper and lets you pick out a few more of the details — especially the surrounding plant life.

Jumping up to 2x magnification, and the story is more of the same. The Pixel’s shot is warmer and brighter, which works out in its favor compared to the gloomier Xiaomi attempt. Once again, the tower in the distance is sharper on the Pixel 9 Pro photo.

The differences are even more apparent when you jump up to 5x magnification. Again, the Pixel 9 Pro’s shot is brighter and clearer, and it’s even possible to start picking out the smaller details in the tower without zooming in first.

But once you do zoom in, the Pixel 9 Pro’s photo looks significantly better than what the Xiaomi 15 produces. You can pick out individual bricks in the tower itself, something the Xiaomi hasn’t managed, while also getting a sharper image of the plants on the very top.

Selfies are something of a mixed bag here. The Xiaomi 15’s photo is brighter, letting you see more of me and minimizing lens flare from the sun behind me. However the image looks incredibly washed out, and doesn’t look all that great.

To top it all off, I feel as though the camera may have smoothed out my skin – not to the same extent as the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 did, but it’s still rather noticeable.

The Pixel faces different issues. While the coloring looks OK, the whole photo is far too dark, and the sun looks like it’s just gone supernova. Plus, while the camera hasn’t tried to apply any beautifying effects to my face, everything is just a little bit grainy and that’s far from ideal.

A lot of the same issues seem to have happened with Portrait mode. But without the sun at my back, things are a little different. The Pixel 9 Pro portrait photo isn’t nearly as noisy, while the Xiaomi 15’s attempt is more washed out than a hotel room towel.

As for the bokeh effect, results are a little mixed. Xiaomi’s bokeh is certainly more consistent, but I feel as though Google’s might actually look better, aside from the fact the Pixel 9 Pro blurred out the left cuff of my jacket along with the background. Interestingly, both phones seemed to struggle with the material around my right arm, and you can easily see a ripple where it hasn’t quite got the lines right.

The Pixel 9 Pro image is also a little grainier, compared to the sharper quality of the Xiaomi 15 photo. Unfortunately it’s been messing with my complexion again, making me look far pastier than I really am and wiping out the majority of my freckles. Plus in both portrait and regular selfie mode, the Xiaomi 15 decided I have gray eyes, which I do not. What’s that about?

Both phones are fairly evenly matched in the low light department, offering things that the other does not. The Xiaomi 15 shot fails on its daffodil itself, with the yellow flower coming up looking washed out and a little blurrier than the Pixel’s attempt. That said, the Xiaomi camera does seem to have picked up on a lot more of the surrounding details, especially in the background. Unfortunately, the Pixel 9 Pro struggles to pick out some of the finer details in the dark.

Overall the Xiaomi 15 has a solid set of cameras, though the performance isn’t quite as impressive as what I found back when I tested the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Still, the phone offers great quality photos on its lenses, and despite its faults, the final images do look pretty good.

That said, I wish Xiaomi hadn’t switched on facial smoothing features by default. Not only does it ruin a perfectly good picture, the fact it smoothened out and whitened my complexion was just straight up weird, unnecessary and honestly, a little disturbing.

Análise do Xiaomi 15: desempenho e recursos

Impulsionado pelo mais recente chipset Snapdragon 8 Elite, o Xiaomi 15 é um smartphone de alta performance premium. As opções de armazenamento variam, com o modelo de 256GB equipado com 12GB de RAM, enquanto algumas versões de 512GB também contam com 12GB. Os modelos mais avançados de 512GB e todos os de 1TB incluem 16GB de RAM. Testei o Xiaomi 15 de 512GB com 16GB de RAM.

O Snapdragon 8 Elite é conhecido por oferecer velocidade e eficiência impressionantes, e o Xiaomi 15 Ultra demonstrou resultados sólidos em benchmarks. Como o Xiaomi 15 se compara?

Nos testes do Geekbench 6, o Xiaomi 15 obteve uma média de 2.972 pontos em desempenho de núcleo único, um pouco abaixo do Xiaomi 15 Ultra. No entanto, destacou-se no desempenho multi-core, com uma pontuação de 9.330, superando o Ultra, que marcou 9.064. Quando comparado a outros smartphones de ponta, como o Galaxy S25 e o iPhone 16 Pro, o Xiaomi 15 apresentou um desempenho competitivo. O Galaxy S25 obteve uma pontuação maior em testes multi-core, mas um pouco menor em núcleo único, enquanto o iPhone 16 Pro teve pontuações mais altas em núcleo único, porém resultados mais fracos em multi-core.

O desempenho gráfico do Xiaomi 15 foi surpreendentemente forte, superando a maioria dos concorrentes no benchmark Solar Bay Unlimited do 3DMark. Ele atingiu uma taxa de quadros média de 43,9 fps e a maior pontuação geral entre os dispositivos testados, seguido de perto pelo Galaxy S25, com uma pontuação de 11.412 e 43,4 fps. No geral, o Xiaomi 15 oferece uma combinação convincente de potência e eficiência para usuários exigentes.

The Xiaomi 15 also did pretty well in our video transcoding test, which saw the phone convert a 4K video into 1080p in 40 seconds. That's 8 seconds faster than the Xiaomi 15 Ultra required, and noticeably faster than the times for the Galaxy S25 (53 seconds) and the OnePlus 13 (1 minute and 1 second). However this test always seems to do well on Apple Silicon, so the iPhone 16 Pro dwarfed all 4 contenders with a 21 second conversion time.

Mobile gaming was pretty smooth in my testing, even at the highest graphics and frame rate I was able to set. Using the Xiaomi 15, I didn't notice excess heat mid-game, even with brightness turned to maximum.

Most notably, even at a distance, the other characters and motion stayed pretty consistent on screen — something the Xiaomi 15 Ultra did have some issues with. So it seems that extra graphical performance doesn’t just come out in benchmarking tests — it's put to good use in practice on the Xiaomi 15.

Avaliação do Xiaomi 15: duração da bateria e desempenho na carga

The Xiaomi 15 possui uma bateria robusta de 5.240 mAh, oferecendo uma autonomia impressionante em comparação com muitos smartphones topo de linha que normalmente têm cerca de 5.000 mAh. Embora a capacidade da bateria seja importante, outros fatores também influenciam o tempo que seu aparelho dura entre cargas. Felizmente, o desempenho da bateria do Xiaomi 15 é bastante forte.

Em nosso teste de bateria, assistimos a um vídeo no YouTube com brilho de 50% e resolução de 1080p por 3 horas. O Xiaomi 15 perdeu apenas 10% de carga nesse período, um desempenho ligeiramente melhor do que o do Xiaomi 15 Ultra, que perdeu 11%, apesar de ter uma bateria e tela maiores. Em comparação, o Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 perdeu 14%, e o Pixel 9 Pro do Google teve uma drenagem de 21%.

O Xiaomi 15 suporta carregamento rápido com fio de até 90W, mas você precisará adquirir uma fonte de energia compatível com HyperCharge de 90W separadamente, pois ela não vem incluída. Com base em testes com um carregador HyperCharge de 67W, o telefone carrega de forma notavelmente rápida. Ele recuperou 46% da bateria em apenas 15 minutos, 81% em meia hora e atingiu uma carga completa em aproximadamente 49 minutos.

Durante o carregamento, a potência de saída frequentemente ficava em torno de 35-40W, um pouco abaixo do máximo de 60W, e caiu para menos de 20W após a primeira meia hora, o que é comum em baterias de lítio à medida que estabilizam durante o carregamento.

análise do Xiaomi 15: recursos de software e desempenho

Assim como o Xiaomi 15 Ultra, o Xiaomi 15 roda com o HyperOS 2, a versão personalizada do Android 15 pela Xiaomi. Ambos os aparelhos estão programados para receber quatro grandes atualizações do Android, levando o sistema até o Android 19, além de seis anos de atualizações de segurança. Enquanto alguns dispositivos flagship de outras marcas oferecem até sete anos de suporte, o suporte da Xiaomi permanece bastante generoso em comparação com muitos fabricantes de Android, onde as atualizações podem ser limitadas a quatro anos.

Se você prefere uma experiência mais parecida com a do iPhone no Android, vale a pena explorar o HyperOS 2. A interface ainda funciona claramente com base no Android, mas com detalhes sutis que lembram o iOS — especialmente na forma como a aba de notificações e o Centro de Controle, que é uma cópia da Xiaomi, são projetados.

A Xiaomi também tem investido bastante em recursos de inteligência artificial. No entanto, essas ferramentas de IA nem sempre são fáceis de encontrar na interface. Algumas, como edição de fotos com IA, são óbvias, enquanto outras exigem uma busca mais cuidadosa para serem descobertas.

Legendas com inteligência artificial e tradução em tempo real são recursos empolgantes de explorar, mas tanto no Xiaomi 15 quanto no 15 Ultra, achei um pouco difícil utilizá-los sem ajuda. Assim como no modelo Ultra, o intérprete de IA parecia bastante similar a outros aplicativos de tradução, com a participação da inteligência artificial muitas vezes passando despercebida. Embora manter a IA nos bastidores possa ser vantajoso, a Xiaomi poderia aprimorar seu software de tradução para se destacar dos concorrentes, como o Google, oferecendo recursos mais exclusivos ou opções mais intuitivas para o usuário.

AI subtitling worked well, at least when it actually worked. But it wasn’t able to treat all languages equally. Attempting to watch Squid Game in the native Korean was nearly impossible, and the subtitles I got weren’t close to those offered up by Netflix.

That said, the AI was able to translate a live-feed of Spanish news with minimal effort — which is no small feat considering how fast the presenter was speaking.

The AI editing tools on the Xiaomi 15 are something of a mixed bag. As on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, I found that the Ai erase function was pretty hit and miss, often simply replacing a selected object with something slightly smaller. However, it seems that painting the object manually means there’s a much better chance it’ll be completely removed.

A tecnologia de legendagem por inteligência artificial melhorou significativamente, especialmente para certos idiomas. Assistir a conteúdos em coreano nativo, como Round 6, ainda é um desafio, e as legendas podem nem sempre corresponder às fornecidas pelos serviços de streaming. No entanto, a tradução por IA funciona muito bem para transmissões de notícias em espanhol em tempo real, mesmo quando o locutor fala muito rápido, demonstrando suas capacidades crescentes.

As ferramentas de edição por IA no Xiaomi 15 oferecem recursos úteis, mas podem ser inconsistentes. Por exemplo, a função de apagar com IA às vezes substitui objetos por versões um pouco menores, em vez de removê-los completamente. Pintar manualmente sobre os objetos costuma gerar melhores resultados, aumentando as chances de uma remoção completa.

AI expansion was more impressive, though the quality of the final image all depends on what you’re trying to expand. Adding more background to a night-time photo of a daffodil in grass? Honestly I could barely tell that AI was involved. But seeing if HyperAI can expand my rather complicated Lego display, I found it produced very mediocre results.

So temper your expectations, especially if you’re trying to overcomplicate things on purpose.

Os recursos de edição de fotos que permitem alterar o céu e remover reflexos de janelas funcionaram ainda melhor do que o esperado. Remover o céu não apenas alterou a cena, mas também ajustou o tom geral da foto para combinar com o nova, criando uma aparência mais natural. Embora algumas dessas alterações nem sempre possam ser perfeitas, elas acrescentam um toque realista às imagens editadas. No geral, as ferramentas alimentadas por IA no Xiaomi 15 apresentam um desempenho bastante bom, mas encontrar e acessar esses recursos pode ser desafiador — um problema comum em muitos smartphones com câmeras avançadas e capacidades de edição.

Análise e avaliação do Xiaomi 15: veredito

The Xiaomi 15 is a great phone that’s overshadowed by the far superior Xiaomi 15 Ultra, which offers significantly better looks and performance even if it does cost considerably more. Despite this, there’s certainly nothing wrong with the non-Ultra model, with the Xiaomi 15 offering great battery life, benchmark results and solid camera performance.

The AI features are certainly interesting, though Xiaomi could do with making them a little easier to find — especially for AI that isn’t related to photo editing. Other phones don't make their AI tools easy to find, but it's still something Xiaomi will need to address if it wants users to adopt HyperAI.

The real problem is that the Xiaomi 15 isn’t quite as easy to get hold of compared to other big brands, with no official U.S. availability whatsoever. But if you do manage to get your hands on one, you should have a solid phone that does everything it needs to — and it does those things well.
