Following that, the OnePlus 13 and iQOO 13 will also be launched. Although the release order may be different from last year, based on previous performance, these models are expected to hit the market shortly after the Xiaomi 15 series, and will also be among the first flagship devices to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen4. For example, last year, the OnePlus 12, iQOO 12, Xiaomi 14, and Xiaomi 14 Pro were among the first smartphones to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen3.
It is worth noting that the global launch events for the Xiaomi 15, OnePlus 13, and iQOO 13 may be a few weeks later than the events in China, as has become tradition. However, considering that the Xiaomi 14 Pro was not globally released last year, its successor, the Xiaomi 15 Pro, may also face a similar situation.
According to the leaks, the Xiaomi 15 will see significant improvements in battery life and core specifications. The battery capacity will be upgraded to 5000mAh, and wireless charging speed will also be increased. In terms of core specifications, in addition to debuting the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 mobile platform, the device may also feature advanced LPDDR6 technology. In terms of peripheral specifications, the new device will support full-function NFC, infrared remote control, dual speakers, X-axis linear motor, and IP68 dust and water resistance.
