The Xiaomi 15 series is likely to continue the company's strategy of releasing two flagship models, one with a curved screen and one with a flat screen. The Xiaomi 15 series is also expected to be the first to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen4.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Mobile Platform

• Manufactured on TSMC's 3nm process
• CPU cores based on Nuvia architecture rather than Arm's reference design
• Significant improvements in CPU and GPU performance anticipated

Imaging Enhancements

• Further advancements in imaging capabilities
• Telephoto periscope lens expected to return in Xiaomi 15 Pro after being absent in Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi 13 Pro, and Xiaomi 14 Pro Satellite communication is also likely to trickle down from premium models, but for now, interest in the feature remains lukewarm among many, who'd rather see manufacturers offer it as a special edition rather than making it standard, as that would only increase the cost for users who don't need it.
