On March 9th, according to the latest revelations from digital gossip blogger, Xiaomi 15 is highly likely to see a price increase.
In fact, earlier, Lei Jun revealed at the Xiaomi 14 launch event that Xiaomi 14 would be the last Xiaomi digital flagship starting at 3999 CNY, and the next generation Xiaomi 15 will see a price hike.
Lei Jun stated that Xiaomi aims to produce better smartphones and will no longer stick to this price segment in the future. However, Lei Jun emphasized that there will only be a slight increase in price, speculating that they will likely directly eliminate the 8GB entry-level version, which does seem somewhat redundant in today's market.
Overall, in fact, the base version of the Xiaomi 14, priced at 4299 CNY for the 12+256GB variant, should be considered the entry-level model. It's just that for an additional 300 CNY, you can get 12GB of RAM, so the Xiaomi 15 is likely to start directly with this specification.
As usual, Xiaomi's flagship devices tend to debut within a month after the release of the latest Snapdragon flagship chipset.
According to leaks, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen4 platform is set to be released earlier this year in October, and Xiaomi's 15 series is also expected to debut in October.
The Xiaomi 15 series will continue its strategy of offering two sizes, one regular and one smaller. The Xiaomi 15 will maintain a smaller size with straight edges and a flat screen, while the Xiaomi 15 Pro will feature a fully symmetrical deep curved screen. It not only offers a flat screen experience but also provides the comfortable grip of a curved screen.
