Mostly Chinese smartphone battery capacity is getting bigger while Samsung and apple still remain same.

    Let's hope the global version also has a 6,800mAh battery. If not, I don't know why I would buy a cut-down global flagship.

    Also, sadly, their OS is pretty sad, I don't need an iOS rip-off clone OS.

      Baggin, 05 Jun 2025Agreed, although I think 6.3 is still quite large. In my op... moreExcept not with gamers and people with eye sight issue.
      Either way, better to have choice with both big and small.

        Nice, we might be getting close to 6000mah for the global version.

          Pumpino, 05 Jun 2025I'd love the Xiaomi 13, 14, 15 or 16, but they're... moreAgreed, although I think 6.3 is still quite large. In my opinion, the appropriate small phone screen size is between 6.1 to 5.6

            zillion, 05 Jun 2025Mini or small phone proved sold less quantity than the plus... moreCan you provide proof? If the mini phone doesn't sell better, Samsung will definitely stop the S25 variant, Xiaomi will stop the Xiaomi 15, and Vivo will definitely have lost money with the x200 Pro mini. If you want to comment, don't go against reality

              this has a very good chance of being my next phone if this is true, yeowzers bro this looks incredible on paper!!!!

                99.9999% in china battery will be big and global will have cut version as always.

                  Small phone, huge battery, and still packing a complete camera setup with a periscope as well. Now this is impressive, and futuristic.

                      Pumpino, 05 Jun 2025I'd love the Xiaomi 13, 14, 15 or 16, but they're... moreThe size, while on paper looks like huge differences, in reality when you actually compare a large pro/ultra phone to a ~6.3in phone the difference is negligible.
                      Paying the premium for the base 15, 16 models doesn't really give you much more other than a Qualcomm chip.
                      I was going to get the base 15 but when I actually compared it to the 14t pro it made 0 sense to pay the extra $400 for very little with only a slight difference in benchmark scores.
                      My advice, just wait for the 15t pro and get that, spending the premium for >1" of difference isn't worth it. My guess is that Xiaomi banks on spec autists or just markets their base models more than their other offerings

                        zillion, 05 Jun 2025Mini or small phone proved sold less quantity than the plus... moreThe Xiaomi 14 sold way more than the Xiaomi 14 pro and Xiaomi 14 ultra combined. Similarly the Xiaomi 15 is selling and will sell more than the Xiaomi 15 pro, Xiaomi 15s pro and Xiaomi 15 ultra combined

                          Anonymous, 05 Jun 2025Are they really? Maybe the ultra versions yes. But the bas... moreSame here. I got the 12GB/512GB Xiaomi 14 for around USD450 with exchange.

                            Anonymous, 05 Jun 2025Are they really? Maybe the ultra versions yes. But the bas... moreIt depends where you live I guess. In Europe the base 12gb 256gb model launched for 1000euro which is expensive. You can always keep your eye open for deals though when the phone gets older. There will be more phones around this size next year from all the Chinese brands so hopefully there will be more competition if they launch globally. Still, in Europe I think if the flagship series ones launch from Oppo, Vivo and Honor they are likely to be a similar price to Xiaomi. If value for money is a priority and there is no rush to buy a new phone it nearly always works out way cheaper buying an older model on sale

                                But the base or basic variant should be cheaper no?
                                Atleast where I live it is cheaper than the base variant of samsungs.

                                    I'd love the Xiaomi 13, 14, 15 or 16, but they're so damn expensive. Given how many models it releases each year, why can't Xiaomi make one of the Redmi Notes small, or have a 14T mini?
