EDITORIAL: Featuring Xiaomi's own processor, the 15S Pro marks a beginning of a new era. Unlike Huawei's Kirin chips, the new XRing 01 is a proper 3nm top-of-the-line processor that should compete head on with SD 8 Elite and Mediatec's top Dimensity 9400. Xiaomi wants to impress: all-day battery, excellent screen, powerful cameras, even the Display Port is there.

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, charging and imaging tech) Motorola is happy to try different things and it's middle model has shifted size and target audience a lot: from 7.9mm thickness 2 versions ago, to 6mm in the last iteration, to now back to standard (7.2mm) thickness. The build remains excellent and includes full protection from dropps and elements. Screen is bright and sharp, camera improved with addition of a tele lenses and PDAF to selfie.
