* TOP Selfie* TOP Software
EDITORIAL: An incremental improvement over iPhone 13, the 14 got A15 Bionic from last year's Pro models (this years Pros get A16), 6GB of RAM, PDAF on selfie and for the first time Emergency SOS Satellite SMS.
PROs
flagship build, fast A15 Bionic with NVMe performance, 450ppi Super Retina XDR OLED with Dolby Vision support, IP68 protection (down to 6m submersion), good 12MP 26mm OIS PDAF main + 12MP 13mm ultrawide, excellent 12MP 23mm PDAF selfie performance, almost flagship grade videos, long OS update policy and great sounding stereo setup
CONs
disappointing lack of battery innovation, barely 24hr endurance from a 3280mAh Lithium battery with >90min slow 20W (15W wireless) charging, just 60Hz refresh rate and sub-900nits screen brightness, no AF on ultrawide handicappes camera and video scores, no expandable memory or desktop replacement functionality

78.3mm (3.08in) · Dec 25, 2025 · Rank #214

Midrange
EDITORIAL: Like Oppo's, Xiaomi midrangers are growing in size. The 15 Pro+ is 3.9mm wider then it's predecessor. With this significant size increase comes a much bigger battery, bigger (and better screen) and better water and drop protection. But can you put a 78mm wide phone in your pocket?
PROs
attractive and built like a tank, 36hr endurance from a 6500mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min 100W charging, >1500nits bright 450ppi AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision and >3800Hz PWM dimming, IP69 protection (and a 2.5m drop resistance claim), some good shots from a 200MP 23mm OIS PDAF main + 8MP 15mm ultrawide,
CONs
big & hard to handle one-hand, relatively weak SD 7s Gen 4 with UFS 2.2 performance, non-LTPO screen and inefficient refresh rate rob 15 Pro+ of truly amazing battery endurance, below average 32MP selfie, unreliable video recording, no expandable memory, comes with Android 15 after Android 16 lounch so the total number of Android upgrades is 3 instead of 4 (as one is wasted on catching up to Android 16), no desktop replacement and slow USB-C port (tho with OTG)
