Early access on the Patreon! The Xiaomi 15 is here, but the phone I have is NOT ready for a review! https://www.patreon.com/posts/xiaomi-15-not-123472388For how expensive this new 8 Elite chip from Qualcomm is, Xiaomi sent us devices that are scoring behind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in my tests. This is not an optimized experience yet. 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!#tech #technology #android #technews #review #video #patreon #geek #gadgets #smartphone

@SomeGadgetGuy Did you get a 15 Ultra, too? I feel like some parts are downgrades from the 13/14 Ultra.

Xiaomi 15 performance has been very poor during the embargo. OF COURSE there was an announcement-day patch, and it significantly improved real-world performance across a wide collection of apps and services. https://www.patreon.com/posts/xiaomi-15-by-we-123487332Xiaomi made me scramble to re-do all my tests, but now you can see what the phone can REALLY do. #tech #technology #review #android #xiaomi #xiaomi15 #smartphone #geek #gadgets

@Adam Nope, but I know what you mean. A LOT of phones this year are either lateral moves, more expensive for the same kit, or the same price as last year but with features removed. The practical functionality of the smartphone has been eroding for years, and this year is accelerating that trend. Even our ultra specialty phones are less ultra and less specialist than last year.
