Just came back from Aeon Metro Prima. Initially was planning to touch and see how the new Xiaomi Pad Mini screen looks like but only got 15T and 15T Pro on the shelf.

I'm surprised that Xiaomi has improved the build quality this much. It felt nearly like an iPhone than Android phone. The weight is so satisfying as well. I wonder why the original mi15 is so heavy in comparison.

Update:

I googled and found that mi15 pro weight ain't that much different. I wonder if it's really a 15T Pro model that was on the shelf.

Xiaomi phones aint that cheap nowadays as well. I wonder how much do the new Xiaomi 17 series cost. The 15T Pro still seem affordable with very good built quality. I havent used xiaomi phone for a very long time thus I cant comment on the OS. Not sure how much corner was cut in order to reach the selling price compared to the flagship Mi series.

Personally Im using a S23FE just for work and online bamking while using another Realme GT Neo 3 for gaming. For me, 1 phone for long OS update for online banking purpose, while the other gaming phone just need to have good performance + battery life at affordable cost (with fast charging), even if the built quality is sacrificed.
