Following last month’s Redmi release, Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has launched its latest flagship model — the Xiaomi 15 — which has promised to bring “Pinnacle Photography” to Filipino mobile photography enthusiasts looking for an upgrade to their everyday setup.
The Xiaomi 15 boasts a sophisticated camera module featuring a trio of 50MP lenses: for the main camera, telephoto, and ultra-wide camera — all equipped with high-quality Leica Summilux lenses.
The advanced lenses are designed to deliver clear, detailed images while incorporating an anti-reflective coating to enhance light capture, resulting in more realistic photographs.
The camera system is engineered for speed, with a remarkable 0.6-second fast capture capability, making it ideal for capturing dynamic moments.
Additionally, the built-in AI support intelligently detects various scenarios, optimizing color, tone, and skin tones, while also refining the bokeh effect.
For videography, the Xiaomi 15 is equipped to shoot 4K resolution videos at 60 FPS with Dolby Vision quality, and the front camera delivers impressive performance at 32MP, including HDR10+ video recording capabilities.
For the hardware, the Xiaomi 15 features a 6.36-inch display with a stunning 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness reaching up to 3,200 nits, with the new Xiaomi M9 custom display panel. This display is also TÜV Rheinland certified, ensuring optimal eye care for users.
Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor with a capacity for 80 trillion operations per second (TOPS) AI processing.
The phone is backed by a robust 5,240mAh battery, complemented by an advanced cooling system, promising extended usage times.
Along with the impressive hardware, Xiaomi showcased the new HyperOS2. The operating system not only gives the usual AI functions, like AI Writing, AI Speech Recognition, AI Image Enhancement, AI Image Expansion, AI Eraser Pro, AI Reflection Removal, AI Magic Sky, and AI Film, but also efficiently manages processor performance, enabling superior power consumption.
With the HyperOS 2, the Xiaomi 15 forms a part of the whole Xiaomi gadgets suite, allowing everything to be synced and controlled, including simultaneous recording.
The HyperOS 2 is also capable of connecting with PC and some select iOS and macOS devices to expand its accessibility.
