Hey gsmarena team, you forgot to mention a couple of things in this article.
The main camera uses the same sensor as Xiaomi 15 non pro, but just like on 14 series, it has brighter lens(f/1.44 vs f/1.62 in non pro).
The second thing is that the 5x telephoto minimum focus distance will be 30cm.

The 14 Pro was average so that the 15 Pro can be above average.
They seriously got rid of the amazing variable aperture, replaced the good 3.2x with an equally good 5x without any intermediate zoom? Why? To compete with Apple/Samsung/Google? Who really cares about them? Seriously, 2.5-4x is the sweet spot for a single telephoto solution, Xiaomi hit the jackpot with the 3.2x focal length and now they go back? Weird. It's not even like the telephoto is super bright either, it's just the same lens from the 14 Ultra. Good lens but no low light monster like the Find X7 Ultra's 3x or X200 Pro's telephoto.
I was too harsh on the Xiaomi 13 Pro back in the day, that phone has aged like fine wine, the hardware nowadays hasn't gotten much better. I was indeed too harsh on Vivo as well on the X200 Pro, that phone seems to get better and better as more phones come out. This phone has a 100 mah larger battery but has a qhd screen and is a xiaomi phone, the battery is gonna be worse than the X200 Pro for sure. LMAO

TBH.. Above 500 ppi display is overkill. 460 ppi just like the smaller sibling and all iPhone is more than enough to save battery.
