Xiaomi 15 continues to affirm its position in the high-end smartphone segment when equipped with a camera system co-developed with Leica, combining advanced imaging technologies such as the Light Fusion 900 sensor and Xiaomi AISP 2.0 image processing algorithm. The highlight of the product is the ability to take flexible photos with the Leica Vario-Summilux triple lens, supporting zoom on the sensor, high dynamic range and exclusive Leica color modes.

Daytime photo quality: Natural details and colors

In ideal lighting conditions, the Xiaomi 15 shows good color balance, especially with the two Leica Authentic and Leica Vibrant color styles. Photos are sharp, retaining a lot of detail even in shadow and highlight areas. The 23mm main camera with f/1.62 aperture makes good use of the large sensor, providing natural depth of field without too much intervention from the algorithm.

The photo of the building with red and blue stripes shows good detail even when zoomed in. The high resolution helps the lines of the wall surface remain clear, without any signs of image distortion. Meanwhile, another photo taken with a wide-angle camera captures the urban space with a harmonious composition.

In addition, Leica Vivid mode makes the color gamut more vivid, suitable for those who love the photo style with high brightness. When comparing Leica Authentic and Leica Vivid modes, it can be seen that Leica Authentic tends to be more realistic in color, while Leica Vivid increases saturation, making the photo more vibrant.

Night shooting ability: Good light balance, effective noise control

With Night Mode, Xiaomi 15 maintains stable details and colors even in low light conditions. The main camera has a large aperture to help capture light better, reducing the loss of detail or blur when shooting handheld. Photos taken from the 60mm telephoto camera also retain impressive sharpness thanks to the optical image stabilization (OIS).

The Xiaomi 15's image processing system also limits noise quite well when pushing the ISO up. However, in very low light environments, photos still tend to lose some sharpness if not using a tripod or supporting light source.

Zoom capability: Stable sharpness at 6x

Xiaomi 15 has a 120mm telephoto lens that gives users flexibility when shooting from a distance. Photos taken at optical zoom show high sharpness, helping to clearly reproduce small details such as building lines or object textures.

When zooming further, Xiaomi 15 still maintains a significant amount of detail thanks to the high-resolution sensor and Leica's image processing algorithm. For example, photos of electric poles and buildings in the distance still have stable sharpness, without excessive blurring or image distortion. Photos of buildings with red and blue stripes also show good noise reduction, preserving the texture of the wall surface.

However, at high zoom levels, users need to hold the camera firmly or use a tripod to avoid shaking, ensuring optimal image quality. Overall, the Xiaomi 15's zoom system works effectively in good lighting conditions, providing powerful zoom capabilities without sacrificing image quality too much.

Portrait Photography: Handling Natural Subjects and Backgrounds

Xiaomi 15 shows excellent portrait photography thanks to the 60mm telephoto camera with f/2.0 aperture, which naturally separates the subject from the background. Photos taken in well-lit conditions show high detail, especially on the face, with faithfully reproduced skin tones without excessive smoothing. The bokeh system works well, gently blurring the background without creating an artificial feeling, making the subject stand out more.

In complex lighting environments such as circuses, Xiaomi 15 can retain a lot of details thanks to its large sensor and good ISO control. In the photo taken with the Leica BW HC (High Contrast) filter, the camera handles the contrast strongly, creating clear light and dark areas, highlighting the drama of the scene. Despite the constantly changing brightness from the stage lights, the image still retains high definition and a strong sense of art.

Artistic creation capabilities on Xiaomi 15

Xiaomi 15 shows good shooting ability in stage environments or places with unstable lighting. Thanks to the large sensor and advanced image processing algorithm, the device still retains good detail even when the light changes continuously.

When testing performance photography with dynamic lighting effects, the camera still reproduced clear highlights and shadows, limiting overexposure or loss of detail. Leica B&W mode combined with high contrast helps to highlight the lines and emotions in the photo.

Video recording: Stable, sharp and diverse modes

In addition to taking photos, Xiaomi 15 also supports video recording with professional features. Users can record videos in standard mode with sharp quality, true colors or use Leica filters to create a more cinematic style.

The camera also supports LOG video recording, allowing for flexible color adjustments in post-production. OIS anti-shake feature combined with AI algorithms helps stabilize the frame, especially useful when shooting handheld or in fast-moving situations.

General assessment

Xiaomi 15 with Leica camera system brings high-quality photography experience, suitable for many needs from landscape, portrait to artistic creation. True colors, sharp details and typical Leica modes make this device a valuable photography tool for users who love creativity.
