FLY* TOP Screen* TOP Selfie* TOP Software
EDITORIAL: Despite minimal upgrades the S25+ looks great. It comes with the fastest 2024 processor, memory and USB hardware, top screen and a big push in AI and overall functionality. A very complete (if uninspired) package.
PROs
good build, great SnapDragon 8 Elite with UFS 4.0 performance, excellent >1400nits >500ppi LTPO AMOLED with HDR10+, reliable 50MP 24mm OIS PDAF main + 10MP 67mm OIS PDAF telephoto + 12MP 13mm ultrawide setup, a great 12MP 26mm dual-pixel PDAF selfie, leading AI features, 7 years of OS updates, DeX software that can replace your computer for most work scenarios and a fast USB-C 3.2 with Display Port 1.2
CONs
24hr endurance from a large phone, small 4900mAh old-tech lithium battery with slow 45W (15W wireless) charging, no AF on ultrawide, 8k Video recording but no expandable storage, lack of real innovation that Samsung S series phones used to shine at
Xiaomi 15 Pro
75.3mm (2.96in) · Oct 29, 2024 · Rank #26
11+14+15+12+12+3+5+0+5+0 = 77
EDITORIAL: Xiaomi got it right with this outstanding phone. The processor, excellent battery life and charging, top screen, main camera and OS update support. It is a mystery why there is no AF on the selfie (again), no SDmemory expansion and no desktop replacement functionality. This is a China market exclusive.
PROs
SnapDragon 8 Elite processor, a 6100mAh Silicone Carbon battery with 2-day+ endurance, 90W wired or 50W wireless charging, a bright 500+ppi LTPO AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, a 50MP main + 50MP tele with OIS PDAF + a 50MP AF ultrawide
CONs
this is a China-only phone, selfie with no OIS or even AF, lack of expandable SDmemory storage and a lack of desktop replacement software (updated Mar 26, 2025)
