Buying advice for Algeria

Both Xiaomi 12S Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra packs a 5410 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra posts a stronger benchmark score, useful for heavier games and multitasking on Algerian carriers' busier 4G networks.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 200 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.
