Xiaomi 15: Not Ready for a Review! (UPDATED! THIS IS NOW A REVIEW!)

The Xiaomi 15 is HERE, and it’s been getting some GREAT updates! It’s EXCEEDINGLY similar to the Xiaomi 14!

Thankfully we’re not seeing a lot of downgrades or part swaps, and we manage those lifestyle upgrades like the fingerprint sensor and the battery capacity!

Wouldn’t you know it, we got a DAY ONE patch on the reveal of this phone! Any review out now is ALREADY OBSOLETE! HURRAH! We get to do DOUBLE the work in covering this phone!
