Just a few weeks ago, the Xiaomi 14 was unveiled at MWC 2024 in Barcelona. Nevertheless, it didn’t take long for the rumor mill about the Xiaomi 15 to start bubbling. We answer the most important questions about the upcoming successor and summarize the rumors circulating online.
When will the Xiaomi 15 be released?
Since an official announcement regarding the release of the Xiaomi 15 will certainly be a while away, we are assuming a similar release period as its predecessors, provided Xiaomi does not deviate from its release strategy. As a rule, the manufacturer launches its smartphones in China first, while the rest of the world is released a few months later. The Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 14 were available in this country at the end of February. So don’t expect the Xiaomi 15 before February 2025.
How much will the Xiaomi 15 cost?
There is currently no reliable information about the price of the cell phone. We assume that the Xiaomi 15 will be at a similar price level as its predecessors. The cheapest version would therefore go on sale for just under 1,000 euros. However, according to Gizmochina, there is already a rumor circulating that there could be a price increase. According to Chinese insider “Digital Chat Station”, there is a “high probability” of this happening.
The Xiaomi 15 could bring these innovations with it
On Weibo, the largest Chinese microblogging service, a leak from insider “Smart Pikachu” reveals that the Xiaomi 15 series will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC, reports Gizomochina. That’s no surprise. After all, all devices in the series have been based on the current top processor from Qualcomm.
According to Gizomochina, according to some insiders, a 6.36-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz will also be used again.
A leak from insider “Digital Chat Station” suggests that a new ultrasonic fingerprint technology is being tested on the Xiaomi 15 series. So far, optical fingerprint technology has been used, as was the case with the Xiaomi 14 series. The new ultrasonic fingerprint technology would bring several advantages over optical fingerprint technology such as higher accuracy, resistance to water and smudges, increased security as well as support for live finger detection.
