And hoo boy, does it deliver.

The Xiaomi 15 I got in for review made an immediate impression upon unboxing (actually, before unboxing too, because it arrived in a mini-briefcase with a tumbler lock), as what greeted me was perhaps the most eye-catching back I've ever seen on a camera phone: a sea of wavy silver makes sure it's the centre of attention even before you flip it over to the black mirror side and switch it on.

The Xiaomi 15 has been officially launched worldwide as of yesterday, 2 March. The announcement at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona follows an October 2024 announcement and release in China, so now the world can see if the successor to the Xiaomi 14 (which impressed me massively) can not only outdo its predecessor but also become a mainstream rival to the Samsung Galaxy S25 and the iPhone 16. And I've been sent one for testing already.
