To entice users into considering a new device, it must excel in hardware configuration, software optimization, and exterior design. Otherwise, it's challenging to capture consumers' attention.
However, some series consistently excel, which has already generated significant anticipation from users even before the new device is released.
Take Xiaomi phones, for example. The numerical series under Xiaomi has performed strongly in recent years, with the combination of flat and curved screens offering compelling options.
The key is that both the Xiaomi 13 series and Xiaomi 14 series have been very successful. Hence, there's considerable anticipation for the Xiaomi 15 series, with continuous rumors circulating about the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro models.
According to the informant, the Xiaomi 15 and Pro versions will enter the next round of internal testing this month, which also means that the specifications of the products themselves have become clearer.
Moreover, many competitors now polish their new models in advance of their release. If the Xiaomi 15 series is being polished now, it means there is hope for it to meet everyone by the end of October.
On the one hand, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor will be released in October, so it's quite normal for the Xiaomi 15 series to debut with it.
On the other hand, in recent years, the pace of development for Xiaomi's numerical series has been very fast, which also means that the release time may be ahead of competitors.
In addition to the news from the internal testing phase, the peripheral specifications of the Xiaomi 15 series are also clear. For instance, in terms of core configuration, it will debut with the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will no longer use ARM's Cortex generic cores but will instead adopt Qualcomm's in-house Oryon cores. This shift in design is said to give the new chip greater autonomy in CPU performance, allowing it to maximize its core capabilities.
Code-named "SUN," it will be built on TSMC's 3nm process, offering even more noticeable advantages in performance and power consumption compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen3's 4nm process.
The CPU will feature a 2Phoenix L + 6Phoenix M architecture, signifying significant performance enhancements in the current phase of in-house CPU architecture design.
The pressure on memory configuration is not too high, with the hope of starting with 12GB of operating memory, and there is a possibility of introducing a combination of LPDDR6 memory for everyone to see.
The screen quality is also impressive. The Xiaomi 15, with its full-screen design and small size, will feature a 1.5K resolution, supporting high refresh rates and high-frequency eye protection adjustment.
As for the Xiaomi 15 Pro, it will adopt a 2K resolution design, likely featuring domestically produced screens and a slightly curved screen design for everyone to see.
It is worth mentioning that both models have been tested with ultrasonic fingerprint recognition technology, but it remains to be seen whether it can truly be implemented and showcased to everyone.
One of the selling points is the camera lens, with the main camera still using a 50MP ultra-large sensor customized by HuaWei. HuaWei, a well-known camera supplier in the industry, delivers excellent performance in both image quality and capability.
This collaboration between Xiaomi and HuaWei undoubtedly brings users clearer and more delicate photo effects. The full application of new technology will further enhance the photography experience, enabling users to easily capture professional-level works.
Moreover, the introduction of periscope lens technology allows the smartphone camera to achieve longer-distance shooting while maintaining a slim body.
It's worth noting that the periscope lens is expected to be standard, and coupled with Leica lens technology certification, the Xiaomi 15 series' photography capabilities won't disappoint.
The battery capacity of the Xiaomi 15 is expected to reach 5000mAh, featuring a new generation of high-density silicon material for longer battery life, despite its compact design.
Charging speed is anticipated to remain at 90W for wired fast charging, with potential upgrades in wireless charging speed for an enhanced user experience.
The operating system will be upgraded to Pangolin OS 2.0, likely bringing further enhancements and changes to its features.
Full-feature NFC, infrared remote control, dual speakers, X-axis linear motor, and IP68 dust and water resistance are expected to be standard features.
The Xiaomi 15 series, with its top-notch specs and impressive performance, is poised to disrupt the flagship smartphone market. What are your expectations for the Xiaomi 15 series? Feel free to share and discuss.
