Xiaomi 15 Set to Be a Performance Beast with Snapdragon 8 Gen4 Taking on Apple A18 Pro, Satellite Communication Returns?

No one expected Lu Weibing to pull this move before the official launch of the iPhone 16 series. It's essentially a pre-launch warm-up for the Xiaomi 15, while also revealing a major secret behind the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4. Lu Weibing claims that 2024 will be a turning point for the chip industry, and we'll see the results in a month. Then, the battle between Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 will be decided, with both top processors opting for "dual super-large cores." Xiaomi will be the first to launch one of them, and it's no surprise that it's the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4, specifically in the Xiaomi 15 series.

PS: The Snapdragon 8 Gen4 was jointly defined by Xiaomi and Qualcomm three years ago and has undergone three years of joint development. It will feature three "super characteristics" - ultra-high clock speed, super performance, and ultra-low power consumption. Rumor has it that the highest clock speed reaches 4.2GHz, directly targeting the Apple A18 Pro. It is said that the result is a significant lead. The era of Apple's A-series CPU dominating Android is coming to an end...

Since it's a joint development between Xiaomi and Qualcomm, the version used in the Xiaomi 15 series might be different from the standard Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4, as Xiaomi doesn't have an exclusive period this year. Just like Samsung using the leading version, Lu Weibing didn't share specific results, but we can probably guess based on his statements. More importantly, this time, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 is paired with Xiaomi's system kernel optimization, leading to the most significant performance leap in the industry's history. It seems that the Xiaomi 15 series' performance is already locked and loaded, and "stable" is an understatement.

So, are you looking forward to the performance of the upcoming Xiaomi 15 series? Aside from being the first to launch the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 globally, the Xiaomi 15 will continue to feature a small screen and a 1.5K resolution pure straight screen. The camera setup is expected to be a triple 50MP combination, coupled with the Leica imaging system, Xiaomi Imaging Brain, and more. Battery capacity will be further enhanced and support both wireless and wired fast charging. The details are always Xiaomi's highlight, so we won't go into too much detail here.

As for the Xiaomi 15 Pro, it will definitely have a 2K-level deep-screen, with the most important change being the addition of satellite communication functionality. Additionally, the periscope telephoto lens will return.
