Long-term ownership

Specs and price are only the first layer. This section compares how each phone should feel after the unboxing too: support runway, repair friction, and resale confidence in the local market.

Ownership read

Xiaomi 15

These signals are the longer-term layer Decide brings into the compare, so the better phone is not reduced to specs alone.

Support runway

Strong support runway

The Xiaomi 15 still has roughly 4 years of software runway left, which is strong for a Nigerian buyer planning to keep a phone.

Repair reality

Repair mixed

The Xiaomi 15 should still be serviceable locally, but support quality is not a standout advantage.

Resale confidence

Resale fair

The Xiaomi 15 should still have some resale life, but it is not a standout flip later on.
