Oled is supposed to have contrast of at least 1:1.000.000.
Ones used by motorola give impression of 1:500.

Anonymous, 29 Oct 2024Again OLED. What a huge disappointment.
Wait let me guess.... moreUgh, what's the problem with OLED screens?
On audio jack and sdcard slot i agree with you that it's a hassle -> that's why I'm not looking at anything below 512GB memory.. but audio jack..is that really so important? Microusb does same job unless you have headphones for 1500€ and can put your life on the DAC and built in amp
... Then again xiaomi and Huawei have crappy audio components so...idk...ymmv

Does anyone know if the chinese version supports 4G band 20?
On my watch list, awaiting review! Either this, One Plus 13 or x200 Pro.

Bot10, 29 Oct 2024Why does you or someone like you comment this on literally ... moreI have to criticize the choice of OLED on every single phone out there because the manufacturers like to cut corners everywhere and use the cheap OLED screens rather than the more expensive, more high quality IPS LCD screens. It's not my fault. It's the fault of the phone manufacturers and all the OLED fanboys and girls like you that buy every latest OLED phone without even thinking about the consequences of their decision.

jiyen235, 29 Oct 2024The 14 Pro was average so that the 15 Pro can be above aver... moreBecause variable f makes more sense with former 1" than 1/1.28".
To avoid the extreme blur when phone is close to subject ( which is not macro photography by the way).
Also , brands offer 3 flagships but they are 3 very different phones.
Not just bigger version of each other like sony z5 premium that had screen resolution as difference.
Message from OEMs are: You want all? Only 1 phone has it. And it costs 20-30% more.

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.
