* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Selfie* TOP SoftwareMidrange
EDITORIAL: Oppo's Reno family of midrangers update every 6 months and keep getting better and better (and the price keeps going higher and higher, now to almost flagship level). What you get this time is a lovely and 2mm narrower body with the same Qualcomm processor, bigger battery (smaller in EU), 4 AF-capable lenses, AI button and 5 years of OS updates. Photography is improved, video recording at average.
PROs
compact-like size, great build, good SD 7 Gen 4 with UFS 3.1 performance, >42hr endurance from a 6700mAn (6000 in EU) Si-C battery with >60min 80W charging, sub-1200nits 460ppi 120Hz AMOLED screen with HDR10+ and very high PWM dimming, IP69 protection, very good pics from a 50MP 26mm OIS main + 50MP 80mm OIS tele (both with PDAF) + 50MP 16mm AF ultrawide setup, excellent 50MP 18mm AF selfie, average video recording, 5 years of updates of mature and feature rich ColorOS, dedicated AI button
CONs
just shy of 72mm wide "Compact" lable, a 16 month old midrange chip may be hard to justify in this price range, slow charging time for a 80W charging speed, sub-ideal (1300nits) brightness & lack of LTPO on otherwise excellent screen, no expandable storage, no desktop replacement functionality, slow USB-C 2.0 port (tho it has OTG)

EDITORIAL: Xiaomi's T line comes about 6 months after their flagship series and brings a scammer down flagship version with a more attractive price. These phones are usually great and the 15T Pro continues along that path.
PROs
excellent Dimensity 9400+ with UFS 4.1 performance, full day endurance from a 5500mAh Lithium battery with 90W sub-40min 0-100% wired charging (50W wireless), flagship grade >1400nits bright 450ppi 144Hz AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP68 protection, great pics from 50MP OIS PDAF main camera (Laica branded) with good performance from a 50MP OIS PDAF periscope telephoto and a no-AF 12MP ultrawide, up to 5 years of OS updates
CONs
wide and hard to use one-hand, mediocre 32MP un-binded selfie, inconsistent video recording, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement software, slow USB-C 2.0 port with no video-out
