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.

PROs
expect fast performance with UFS 4.1 memory, >30hr endurance from a 6100mAh Si battery with sub-60min 90W (50W wireless) charging, >1300 >520ppi LTPO AMOLED with Dolby Vision screen, IP68 protection, reliable 50MP 23mm main + 50MP 120mm periscope telephoto (both OIS PDAF)+ 50MP 14mm AF ultrawide setup, average 32MP 22mm (non AF) selfie, okay video recording, 4 years of OS updates and fast USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port with DisplayPort and OTG
CONs
no AF on selfie, no expandable memory or desktop replacement functionality

EDITORIAL: Vivo’s first try at a 6.3-inch-screen flagship. Add the best performing processor, excellent battery endurance, fast charging speed, bright screen and Vivo’s excellence in camera tech and this may be the phone you were waiting for. Keeping it from a spot in the TOP 10 are it’s selfie (with no AF), video recording, lack of SDmemory slot, only 3 years of OS updates and Vivo’s refusal to offer a desktop replacement feature.

PROs
compact body for current phone size standards, great build, Dimensity 9400 flagship performance, 2-day battery endurance with 90W fast charging, IP69 ingress protection, a 50MP main & 50MP periscope both with PDAF & OIS plus a 50MP AF ultrawide
CONs
lack of software and hardware support – it is released in limited markets, no memory expansion and no desktop replacement feature (updated Apr 13, 2025)
