Xiaomi 16 to have the best smaller screen and biggest battery for its size

29 April 2025
Apparently the previously-rumored growth in size isn't happening after all.

I think xiaomi is not much wider but taller than s25 because of the aspect ratio it has. it should be easy to use with one hand too. I mean s25 is kinda small phone when you think about its one of the smallest phone right now.

    Sagittarius88, 29 Apr 2025Novadays - anything around 6.0" is "small" s... moreDon't fall for this "small phone" scam.

    Anything not usbale with one hand is big. These so-called "small" phones aren't usable with one hand so they're actually big. Even if you could somehow use them one handed when at rest, definitely couldn't do it when on the go, times at which it really matters such as walking on a crowded road with shopping in one hand.
    Also factoring in protective case makes it more obvious.

    So in the end what you're left with is a phone that's not only less accurate to type with and looks less immersive than competitors due to smaller screen, but also doesn't provide the usefulness of one handed use. So it's a lose-lose situation.

    I've used "small" phones such as Zenfone and Xperia and used regularly sized phone such as Poco and I can confirm that the latter is overall much better experience.

        Anyway, I was talking about the screen-to-body ratio and size.

On the S25, it is 91.1%, the best at 6.2", making it slightly taller and wider than a 5.9" Zenfone 10 (S25 : 146.9 x 70.5 x 7.2 vs Zenfone 10 : 146.5 x 68.1 x 9.4).
              The S25 is also much thinner and lighter.

                  Xiaomi 15 is the best of all.. the performance is not too throttling unlike the bigger phones. It's AnTuTu is faster than S25U, best battery life phone at 6.3 inches, best screen etc.

                          I don't understand Xiaomi release policy on it's main series. It's either small compact flagship or ultra brick with nothing in between... What happened to the pro? The last time I saw people cheer something it was the pro variant that never saw the light outside of China. We need either X or Pro variant at 6.5+ inch, because, otherwise, Xiaomi is only ever considerable for the T series or POCO X/F series, rendering Notes and main flagship obsolete... Guess it's time to switch to vivo for me...

                            Even if the battery is 6500mah or 7000mah, having HyperOS running on it will make it like it has 3500mah battery.

                                      Claudespeed, 29 Apr 2025I need a 4.7 inch display and flagship cpuYeah And 3k battery and big beat 🤣

                                        Gosh small tiny phones are so lame and useless.
                                        Does not come with proper specs many people must use bigger letter or magnyfiyng glass etc on a such small screen. Even typing on a tiny keyboard with thick fingers is a horrible experience.
                                        Some kids and teenagers will find this usefull but for modern casual adult human anything which is not at least 6,7 inch or bigger is nothing just a midranger for kids.
                                        Just no.
