According to well-known tech blogger "Digital Chat Station," Xiaomi's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen4 smartphone is set to undergo the next phase of internal testing this month. This testing phase is drawing considerable attention, particularly focusing on the successful integration of a new periscope lens and ultrasonic fingerprint technology. It's noteworthy that this new smartphone will continue the 1.5K/2K dual-size strategy while incorporating a new generation of high-density silicon battery cells across all models to enhance battery performance. In terms of photography, the main camera of the new device will still feature a customized 50MP sensor by OmniVision, accompanied by a complete set of new technologies. Though the specific model of this new device hasn't been explicitly mentioned by the blogger, the mention of the "dual-size strategy" suggests it could very well be the highly anticipated Xiaomi 15 Series.
If all goes according to plan, the Xiaomi 15 series will make its customary debut in the golden autumn of October, with the initial unveiling featuring the standard 15 and 15 Pro models. The much-anticipated "Ultra" variant is expected to grace us with its presence in the early spring of next year, around February.
Previously, there have been numerous leaks about the Xiaomi 15 series online, all pointing towards significant improvements in battery life and core specifications. It's reported that the battery capacity will surge to 5000mAh, while wireless charging technology will also undergo further innovation. In terms of features, the Xiaomi 15 will support NFC, infrared remote control, dual speakers, X-axis linear motors, and boast IP68-level dust and water resistance capabilities.
It's worth noting that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will depart from the traditional Arm reference architecture and instead adopt Qualcomm's in-house Nuvia architecture. This marks Qualcomm's first smartphone SoC to feature custom Oryon cores, and with the support of TSMC's 3nm process, it's expected to deliver unprecedented improvements in CPU and GPU performance. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the performance of the Xiaomi 15 series will be impressive and worth looking forward to.
