Our Verdict

iPhone 17 vs Xiaomi 15 Ultra

Xiaomi 15 Ultra wins on battery life with 16:13h active use versus iPhone 17’s 14:59h, and 6000mAh vs 5410mAh in China, while also offering 90W wired and 80W wireless charging versus 25W wired and 15W wireless. Buy the iPhone 17 512GB if you need superior camera versatility: 48MP wide with sensor-shift OIS and 48MP ultrawide at 120°, versus Xiaomi’s single 32MP wide. Buy the Xiaomi 15 Ultra 512GB if you demand all-day endurance and ultra-fast charging—90W wired refills 50% in under 15 minutes, far quicker than Apple’s 20-minute 50% charge. In UAE at AED 3999 vs AED 4499, iPhone 17 is better because it delivers longer software support with iOS 26.4 upgrades and lighter 177g weight. In India at ₹99900 vs ₹114999, Xiaomi wins on value because its 90W charging and 6000mAh battery justify the ₹15099 premium for heavy users.
