Xiaomi 15 Pro is official with Snapdragon 8 Elite, 6,100mAh battery & more

The Xiaomi 15 Pro has launched alongside the vanilla model of the device. They look basically the same but are different in terms of size. Well, different cameras are also included, so if you look closely enough, you’ll see differences in the camera island too.

The phone is made out of aviation-grade aluminum and glass or ’one-piece ceramic Deco’, depending on the model. Its front and back sides are flat, and the same goes for the phone’s frame. It does curve towards the edges for a better in-hand feel. The back glass also slightly slopes down on the edges, it’s the so-called micro-curved design. The same goes for the display.

The Xiaomi 15 Pro is official with a 6.73-inch panel & three rear cameras

All the standard buttons are included (power/lock + volume rocker) on the right side. Three cameras sit inside the camera island on the back, and that module sits in the top-left corner. On the front, you’ll find very thin bezels and a centered display camera at the top.

The phone features a 6.73-inch 3100 x 1440 OLED display. This is an LTPO display with a variable refresh rate (1-120Hz). It is the M8 display with a 20:9 display aspect ratio and a peak brightness of 3,200 nits. HDR10+ content is supported, and Dolby Vision is also included. The display offers 1,920Hz PWM dimming and Xiaomi Ceramic Glass protection 2.0.
