A compact flagship with strong battery, fast charging and cameras, though only a modest step up from the Xiaomi 15 and pricey.

  • Compact 6.3-inch size for a flagship
  • Very powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 performance
  • Strong camera set, especially low light and telemacro
  • Excellent battery life and fast charging
  • Bright, vibrant OLED display
  • Ultra-wide camera still lacks autofocus
  • Not a big upgrade over Xiaomi 15
  • No charger included in the box
  • Expensive compared with previous Xiaomi phones

  • Excellent performance from Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
  • Sharp, bright 6.3-inch display with thin bezels
  • Superb battery life and fast versatile charging
  • Compact, pleasant-to-hold design at 191g
  • Display peak brightness lower than previous generation

  • Software support shorter than rivals
  • IP68 rating trails some rival flagships
