very nice 👍
big battery
ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
flagship main camera
if only they used the IMX858 instead of JN5... but oh well
oh! also I wish they used the vibration system used in Xiaomi 14 Pro! It'd be very nice!

The vivo X200 Pro mini is still more impressive with a bigger battery and slightly smaller body. However the custom edition is an awesome idea!

'The telephoto lens now has a 60mm focal length (down from 75mm)'
- Previous Xiaomi 14 actual optical is the same 60mm. 75mm 3.2x are done digitally. Can check on Xiaomi FAQ on their website saying
- 'The Xiaomi 14 rear camera’s zoom ratio is 0.6~60x when taking photos, and 0.6~15x when taking videos, only 0.6x/ 1x/ 2.6x are optical, and others are digital zoom technology.' 3.2x zoom crop the sensor to 32mp (8mp upscale to 12.5mp in pixel binned mode). Floating lens tech make it better than everyone else, not just distance but overall quality as well. Looks like now Xiaomi use the correct term '2.6x' zoom.
The only differences is Xiaomi 15 use isocell JN5, updated from JN1 used in Xiaomi 14.

The Xiaomi 14 telephoto lens wasn't 75mm in the first place, it switched to it at around 2.6x

Finally band 20 supported! No camera upgrade but I suppose on the positive front at least they didn't downgrade the cameras like OPPO in the find x8. Battery size is the biggest upgrade as it is for all the new phones. The large capacity batteries must have dropped in cost a lot as even midrangers are using them in relatively light phones. Overall, not bad and the price rise is reasonable, not too high. Ultrasonic fingerprint is the other main upgrade. Might actually reluctantly get one as it's the only new relatively compact flat screen flagship from the Chinese brands that supports band 20. Really dislike hyper OS though so that's a big compromise

the best compact flagship.. At least it's available in most markets.. Vivo X200 mini can compete against Xiaomi 15 but probably only for China.
