EDITORIAL: A bigger version of Pixel 10 Pro comes with more screen and battery but same processor, IP protection, front and back cameras and software. Disappointing hardware performance and lack of hardware innovation are somewhat offset by strong AI features, (basic) desktop replacement software and Qi2 wireless charging. Pricing is uncompetitive.
PROs
good build, >2200nits bright >480ppi 120Hz screen with HDR10+, IP68 protection, some great pics from 50MP OIS main + 48MP OIS periscope tele + 48MP ultrawide (all with PDAF) back cameras, excellent imaging from 42MP PDAF selfie, great video recording (but not quite iPhone level). up to 7 years of OS updates, loaded with latest AI and the new desktop replacement feature baked into Android 16
CONs
large and hard to use one hand, disappointing Tensor G5 with UFS 4.0 performance (with throttling under heavy load), barely 24hr 5200mAh Li battery endurance. >60min 45W wired (25W wireless) charging, camera tech from 2024 (except closer focusing tele), no expandable memory slot, the most expensive midrange processor phone

EDITORIAL: The 15T continues in T series direction of offering Xiaomi’s version of a “flagship killer”. Your compromises would include large size, slow USB-C 2.0 connectivity, no AF ultrawide and the 32MP un-binded selfie with no AF.
PROs
great built, very good Mediatec 8400 Ultra with UFS 4.1 performance, 2-day 5500mAh battery endurance with sub-60min 67W charging, bright >1500nits AMOLED screen with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, IP68 protection. great photos from Laica branded 50MP OIS PDAF main + 50MP PDAF 2x tele and reliable pics from a 12MP ultrawide. 4 years of OS updates
CONs
big and very wide, no wireless charging, no LTPO screen, poor selfie performance and inconsistent video recording, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement or even video out
