Hey folks!

A family member wants to upgrade from their existing Xiaomi Pro phone (I don't remember which generation it is).

Android is what they need for work and things, so iPhone(s) are out.

What phones do you recommend?

- Xiaomi 15*
- Samsung S25*

Requirements:

- Reliability
- Fast charging (current phone does 120W)
- Decent camera system (for office events, family pics, etc)

Budget doesn't seem to be a concern it seems. We disable most Xiaomi software bits, so Stock OS bloat is also not a problem.

Thanks!

Updates:

> The Galaxy S25+ supports 45W fast wired charging...

WTF? Is this a joke?

https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-s25-ultra/specs/ conveniently hides this from the specs it seems.

In my opinion, lately Samsung isn't handling updates properly — they're not sticking to timelines, and the camera quality has been noticeably deteriorating on models like the S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra after updates.
So my vote goes to Xiaomi — as long as you're okay with some ads and the initial effort needed to disable them.
