  • My redmi note 15 5G (China) is very smooth

    It never laggs in ui, but it comes with bloatware, and certain ui features I had to turn off. Gemini was hard to configure, But it scored 840k in Antutu v11. The chip in my model is a Snapdragon 6 gen 3 and BEWARE OF THE 4G MODEL!!!!!! The 4G model has a Helio G100 which IS NOT GOOD. 5G model is worth the extra 130HKD (16.6 USD)

    Pros
    • Camera is quite usable
    • Performance is insane for 170usd
    • Comes with a case + 45 watt plug and cable
    • Fingerprint sensor is under display
    • Feels premium in hand due to it being thin
    • Screen is bright.
    Cons
    • A fake camera and a 2mp depth senor isnt great
    • China ROM makes google features hard to manage
    • XiaoAi features are very annoying to disable
    • Bloatware is a problem on this device

    Emergency Telephone

    I bought it as an emergency replacement because it was affordable; my Xiaomi 15 Ultra was stolen. The battery lasts a long time, much longer than its other versions. The OS needs optimization, and the gaming performance is very basic, but the camera is decent. For normal use, it's a very good phone.

    A mobile phone

    Basically, this phone is for someone who doesn't have enough money at some point in their life to have a better phone, or for older people who just want a phone for making calls and sending messages. It has good battery life, but I wouldn't recommend it for gaming at all.

    It's a good phone for its price.

    I've had it for a few months now, and for everyday use it's great—nice design, curved screen. While it's not the best for demanding games, it can run them at low settings. For the price, it's a good option. It's worked well for me in the months I've had it, and I hope it continues to do so.

    Good phone, within its range.

    First, the design is beautiful. The back with the camera module looks quite good, and the black color suits it wonderfully. The screen is gorgeous; I love these curved screens. The colors are great, and it has a 120Hz refresh rate for those who like smoothness. Personally, I don't use it; I prefer 60Hz, but it's there for those who need it. I have the 8/256 version, and I have no problems with the processor; it doesn't overheat. The problem is HyperOS. Currently at version 3.0, it's not very well optimized, and it shows. You'll experience slight stutters and the occasional lag in apps, but that's solely due to HyperOS. You'd expect that after so many years, Xiaomi would have stepped up its game and properly optimized the system. The RAM consumption is quite aggressive, using almost 6.0GB out of the 8.0GB available. But despite that, your apps won't crash, freeze, or anything like that. In games, most of the ones I've tried run smoothly; the most demanding ones clearly aren't made for this phone. The cameras—the main one is quite good—I was expecting much better, but it surprised me, especially the zoom and the quality it maintains. Another drawback is the wide-angle camera; for the phone's price, they could have offered something better. The selfie camera is neither great nor terrible. Video recording is fine; 1080p at 30fps with stabilization is excellent, but it doesn't have 4K stabilization. I don't know why, but 1080p is more than enough. The battery is the best thing about the phone; for basic tasks, it's amazing how long it lasts, even with intensive use and gaming. It's the best I've seen of all the phones I've tested.
    The sound is poor; it has almost no bass, the treble is much more prominent. On the plus side, the phone's equalizer lets you adjust it for better sound. Overall, it's a decent phone if you're looking for something balanced and aren't too demanding; it will serve you well.

    Excellent device

    It's a good device; its performance is excellent for everyday use. I'd give the cameras a 9/10; they do the job, but they have some minor issues. It's also good for gaming; it runs games without problems, but in certain games, it doesn't perform as well. Overall, it's an excellent device for everyday use if you're looking for something affordable.

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
