Xiaomi smartphones' hidden power‑button design and Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G review highlight user trade‑offs

Newer Xiaomi phones require users to press the volume and lock buttons simultaneously to power off or restart the device, replacing the traditional single power button. Reviewers note that this unintuitive method can leave phones on for extended periods and may divert the lock button to AI functions instead of shutdown options.

The Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G, equipped with 256 GB of internal storage and 5G connectivity, is positioned as a strong mid‑range option for heavy app, media, and social‑media users. It offers ample space and performance but reviewers caution that its software experience may lag behind competitors such as Samsung's Galaxy A series and POCO devices, which provide more polished ecosystems.
