Xiaomi 15s Pro Launch: First Impressions and Key Features Unveiled

I got my hands on the Xiaomi 15s Pro just moments after the launch event on the 22nd. Let me tell you, the craftsmanship and attention to detail are truly impressive—personably, I’d say it outshines the Xiaomi 15 Pro.

This time around, they’ve brought in the dragon scale fiber design and the gold logo, features that were previously reserved for their high-end foldable models. These upgrades elevate the phone’s premium feel, though if your hands tend to sweat, you might find it gets a bit greasy [Crying with Laughter].

The phone case has seen a significant upgrade too—it’s now custom-made and even comes with a stylish matching lanyard, adding a touch of elegance to everyday use.

One of the standout features is the debut of Xiaomi’s self-developed Xuanjie O1 chip. I’ll be putting it through its paces over the next few days and comparing it against Snapdragon. Based on initial impressions, I think the Xuanjie could reach around 70-80% of Snapdragon’s performance. Be sure to stay tuned for the full review!
