Xiaomi 15 review and price and specs via Revu Philippines

Xiaomi 15 arrives in PH: Longer battery life, faster chip at same price

In Phones by Ramon Lopez3 Comments

Following its global debut at MWC 2025 in Barcelona, Spain, which we covered, the Xiaomi 15 is now official in the Philippines.

Like last year, Xiaomi is only bringing one flagship to local retail this year. There is no mention of the Xiaomi 15 Pro, which was introduced in China in 2024.

In the Philippines, the Xiaomi 15 is priced at P45,999, or approximately $820 converted, for the base model with 12GB of physical RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The top-end 12GB/512GB variant, on the other hand, costs P49,999 ($892). With no microSD expansion, the 512GB model is the sole option for users demanding a beefy amount of storage. Alternatively, the Xiaomi 15 is also available through Globe’s GPlan Biz 2499 postpaid plan.

And yes, in case you’re wondering, the pricing is similar to last year’s release. That’s good news, because even this early, we can confidently say that the Xiaomi 15 offers significantly better battery life and faster performance — especially from a gaming standpoint — than its predecessor.

The company is offering compelling launch bundles for the local market. Online purchases via Lazada and Shopee include a free Redmi Pad SE 8.7-inch tablet. Offline buyers, on the other hand, receive an extended warranty with one-time screen replacement and a Xiaomi Instant Photo Printer 1S valued at P7,199 ($128).

Xiaomi’s latest compact flagship arrives with a focus on refined specs in a manageable form factor. The 6.36-inch 1.5K LTPO OLED panel boasts a 120Hz adaptive refresh and hits a peak brightness of 3,200 nits, all nestled within remarkably slim 1.38mm bezels.

Under the hood, you’re looking at a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 5G chip, which can pretty much handle anything you throw at it, even PC games (via emulation). Imaging is handled by a triple-lens system: a 50-megapixel main sensor (1/1.31-inch, 1.2μm), alongside 50-megapixel ultrawide and 2.6X telephoto lenses, each bearing Leica Summilux optics.

Xiaomi claims a 25% boost in battery life thanks to a larger 5,240mAh cell. Charging is swift, with 90-watt wired and 50-watt magnetic wireless options available.
