On the morning of March 27th, well-known tipster "Digital Chit-Chat Station" revealed that several domestic smartphone manufacturers are currently preparing to launch new flagship smartphones with relatively small-sized screens, equipped with MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 chipset.
Later in the day, the tipster released further information stating that in addition to the Dimensity chipset, there will also be a release of small-screen flagships powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 mobile platform.
Allegedly, both the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 mobile platform and the Dimensity 9400 are rumored to feature relatively smaller screens with ultra-narrow design. The likelihood of an under-display camera implementation stands at 71.568%, while the probability of adopting a single-point ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is at 53.833%.
In this context, the small-screen flagship for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 mobile platform is highly anticipated to be the Xiaomi 15. Previously, Xiaomi's 13 and 14 models adhered to a strategy of smaller screens, with both featuring 6.36-inch displays and achieving commendable market performance. It's expected that the next-generation Xiaomi 15 will also sport a 6.36-inch OLED screen, with the possibility of being the global debut platform for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 mobile platform.
In addition to Xiaomi, the Samsung S25 series is also expected to offer a small-screen flagship featuring the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 mobile platform.
Recently, a reputable leaker hinted that the next generation from Oppo/OnePlus is evaluating both small-sized flat screens and large-sized curved screens.
Furthermore, speculations suggest that Vivo might release a small-screen model powered by the Dimensity 9400 chip, given their close collaboration with MediaTek.
