Xiaomi 15 Series Officially Announced! First with Snapdragon 8 Gen4, Three Super Features Coming

Lu Weibing, in a post on social media today, stated that 2024 is a turning point for the chip industry and we will witness this turning point in the next month. More importantly, he revealed that Xiaomi's upcoming flagship platform will strongly advance, with a new desktop-grade micro-architecture bringing "three super features": ultra-high main frequency, super-strong performance, and ultra-low power consumption. Although not explicitly mentioned, this is essentially an announcement that the Xiaomi 15 series will be the first to launch with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen4.

Lu Weibing emphasized that this chip was jointly defined by Xiaomi and Qualcomm three years ago and has been jointly developed for three years. Combined with comprehensive optimization of the Pengpai OS system kernel, it will bring an unprecedented leap in performance experience.

It is reported that the Xiaomi 15 series will debut in October, with two models being released first: the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro. As the world's first phone to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen4, the Xiaomi 15 series will adopt TSMC's 3nm process and feature Qualcomm's self-developed Nuvia Phoenix architecture. The super-large core frequency reaches 4.2GHz, directly targeting Apple's A18 series, and has the potential to surpass it entirely.

The Xiaomi 15 retains the small-size straight-edge straight-screen design, equipped with a 1.5K straight screen, featuring a metal frame, glass body, and a square, high-quality DECO rear camera design. It supports ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking and comes with a triple camera combination of a 50-megapixel large-sensor main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 50-megapixel 3.X upright telephoto macro lens.

The Xiaomi 15 Pro continues to focus on being a comprehensive flagship. It adopts a 2K micro-curved screen design and comes in a regular body as well as a titanium alloy frame version. It also supports ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking and incorporates satellite communication technology. The imaging system is upgraded to a combination of a 50-megapixel super-large sensor main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. The periscope telephoto lens, absent for three years, finally makes a comeback.

The launch of the Xiaomi 15 series will bring a new performance experience to the smartphone market, and also signifies that the strong collaboration between Qualcomm and Xiaomi in the chip field will lead to even more powerful technological innovation. We eagerly await to see if the Xiaomi 15 series can, as Lu Weibing said, lead mobile performance to a new level.
