Xiaomi introduced plenty of nice merchandise at MWC 2025, together with the Xiaomi 15 smartphone, however one colourway is perhaps probably the most impractical design I’ve ever seen.
It’s a disgrace we don’t get the Xiaomi 15 Customized Version within the West however we do get some of the placing colourways I’ve seen in years – the Liquid Silver mannequin.
Like one thing out of a home of mirrors at a funfair, this mannequin has a extremely reflective rear cowl with a ‘3D Wave Texture’. Xiaomi has made it with heat-moulded glass.
It’s slightly thicker and heavier than the opposite colourways and doesn’t have the volcano deco design across the digicam bump, however that’s not the issue right here.

We’ve seen loads of mirror-like reflective telephones previously however not less than these had the benefit of with the ability to examine your hair and make-up shortly. The wavy, water-like, sample on the again of the Liquid Silver Xiaomi 15 provides you a distorted view.
Even worse, the machine is the worst smudge and fingerprint magnet. I used to be second in line to see it after Xiaomi’s keynote launch at MWC and it wanted a full moist wipe clear. It additionally attracts mud, too.
Positive, I sort of like the weird look, however it’s extra at residence getting used as an decoration within the foyer of a boutique resort than a telephone it is advisable to contact along with your arms daily.
You may cowl it up with a transparent silicone case, however then you definately’re not getting the total impact of the design making it fairly pointless.
My recommendation? Persist with the good inexperienced colourway, and even the black or white choices. You possibly can order one now, with costs ranging from £899.
