The Xiaomi 15 Pro is widely praised for its camera system, with reviewers (55 mentions) applauding the triple 50MP setup, strong telephoto/zoom performance, excellent low-light shots and versatile video options including high-resolution front and rear capture. Reviewers also consistently commend the design and build (39 mentions) for a compact, premium-feeling, lightweight handset with IP68 water and dust resistance and comfortable one‑hand usability. The display (34 mentions) is another frequent highlight, noted for a bright, sharp LTPO AMOLED 2K panel with 120 Hz and very high peak brightness and color accuracy. Performance and battery life are repeatedly cited as strengths (32 mentions each), with fast flagship chip performance, smooth day‑to‑day use, and long battery endurance plus fast wired and wireless charging options.

Criticisms center largely on camera shortcomings as well (56 mentions) — many reviewers point out weaknesses in the ultrawide and some zoom/video behaviors (softness, fringing, jitter, and inconsistent exposure), missing features compared with prior models, and occasional lens fogging. Design and software drew repeated complaints (21 and 20 mentions), with issues like fingerprint-prone glossy surfaces, some uninspired colorways or heft, and persistent preinstalled apps/ads and rougher software polish. Reviewers also flagged thermal and sustained performance concerns (14 mentions) with noticeable heating and throttling under prolonged stress, plus battery/charging quibbles from some (11 mentions) about slower or changed charging options and no included charger in the box.
