The Xiaomi 15S Pro has certainly been one big surprise for the world, as this phone has gone way beyond becoming just a phone in itself. For the first time, Xiaomi announced: “Hey, we are going to make our own chip to put in a flagship phone”. Rash, right? But honestly, they crushed it. If wondering just what makes the phone so special and worth it placing your hands on, here’s a plain and honest assessment of all that it possesses.

Design – Premium Feel With a Lively Touch:
Once you grab the 15S Pro, then there comes the feel of a luxury phone. Thinner and a little bit curved, it feels just fine in the palm. The Dragon Scale Fiber definitely feels and looks different with its nice texture on the back, which provides a nice touch and slip resistance. Super light, looks stylish, and definitely gives that flagship feel.

Display – Super Bright and Super Smooth:
This phone comes with an outstanding 6.73-inch OLED display. Everything is as sharp as it is colorful and detailed. The display is 120Hz refreshing, so everything is felt to be super smooth when scrolling or gaming, or switching apps. And, brighten it gets:3200 nits bright, so squinting is not an option while in sunlight. And for good measure, provided from Xiaomi is Ceramic Glass 2.0.

Performance – Surprisingly Awesome Xiaomi Chip:
And here it is, one of the eagerly waited, chips. Xiaomi inked their own name on an in-house chip called the Xiaomi XRing O1 and deserted Snapdragon. And wow, is it something! Supposedly made on beautiful 3nm technology, it has 10 cores, and an ungodly GPU.

It’s all naturally quick: unlocking apps happens within a blink of an eye, smoothness while switching between them, and gaming is done without stuttering. Energy saving could probably be attributed to a longer battery life, but really, it’s quite impressive for a first-time chipmaker like Xiaomi.

Cameras – All-around Flagship-Level Shots:
There was almost no change in the camera setup as compared to the Xiaomi 15 Pro, and luckily, that is a good thing. The main47 Megapixel camera, telephoto (5x), and ultra-wide lenses perform 50MP each. Super sharp, bright, and full of details are the pictures taken by this triad. The zoom shots retain a clean look, so do the low-light shots.

There is a 32MP selfie camera in front which does 4K recording-perfect for you if you’re the sort of vlogger or story maker.

Battery – Big and Fast Charging:
Available with a huge 6,100mAh battery, the 15S Pro would definitely carry you for an entire heavy day. It charges quickly through 90W of wired charging and 50W of wireless charging; hence, you will not freak out about waiting to use your phone between fast charging and a good battery capacity.

Software – Smooth and Clean Experience:
The interface here is HyperOS that has been built on Android, and everything appears snappy and responsive. You don’t have to fight through a bunch of ads or strange bugs. That’s how refined and polished it feels, just the way you want a flagship to feel.

Pricing in India – What You Are Probably Going to Pay:
The initial price of the Xiaomi 15S Pro in China stands at around ¥5,499, meaning it would be close to ₹63,500 in India. The one with 1TB storage, the more expensive variant, is priced around ₹68,800. Apparently, this is not at all for the price of the just-watching class, but everything inside, particularly the latest chip, assure that it has got a bombardment of value in terms of purchase.

Bottom of the Line Should You Buy?:
An adventurous soul kind of person deserves nothing less than the Xiaomi 15S Pro. Xiaomi took a shot with its new chip, and the truth is, it worked. Loud on looks, loud on pictures, and loud on battery all day-there is no doubt that this is one powerful phone.

Definitely not another smartphone; Xiaomi waved a flag saying, “We are ready to take the next step.” If you are ready to join, then it will be worth it for you.
