Xiaomi 15 Ultra is the king of the camera

MWC no longer sees many flagship telephone editions, but Xiaomi 15 and 15 Ultra (8/10, recommended for recommendations) are worth fanfare and probably the best this year. Both Android phones are polished, with excellent screens, robust battery life, rapid charging and silky performance. Hyperos Xiaomi also matures, and version 2 is freely seasoned – you guessed – features. They are available in Great Britain and Europe, but they will not land in the USA. (The brand hosted wired at its media event in MWC and paid for part of the cost of traveling our reporter.)
My in -depth review concerns the deep internal actions of these phones, which I like and I don’t like. But none of them is budget-friendly – Xiaomi 15 starts from 849 £ (999 euros), and Ultra will restore you 1 299 £ (1 499 euros). The Ultra Photography set, which is a module that connects to one end of the phone, adding a dedicated camera control and an additional battery, costs an additional 179 GBP (199 euros).
In addition to novel phones, Xiaomi showed a lot of other devices. We got two novel tablets with Android, Xiaomi Pad 7 and 7 Pro, both with 11.2 inches screens and immense batteries-adds a faster processor and a better camera. Then appeared in the moody Harman Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro with energetic noise cancellation, the 8-hour battery life and the transcription and translation of AI. The announcement of equipment for the equipment was Xiaomi Watch S4-Nieco The improved version of last year’s S3-and rectangular customization, fitness and collected health Intelligent Band 9 Pro. – –Simon Hill

Nothing has two novel stylish smartphones – the Telephone (3A) AND Telephone (3A) Pro. They are identical on almost every respect except for cameras. The PRO model has a different 50-megapixel main camera, which can capture more featherlight thanks to larger pixels, and also has a 3x optical periscope lens, while the phone (3A) has 2x optical apparatus. These phones are 379 USD and 459 USD, respectively, and in itself it is an achievement of a versatile triple camera configuration on the phone below USD 500.
