Xiaomi 15 Series Price Revealed! Lei Jun Confirms Price Increase, Starting Price to Break 4500 Yuan

The Xiaomi 15 series launch event will be held at 7pm on October 29th, just two days away from the official unveiling, and the price of this highly anticipated flagship phone has become the most concerning issue for everyone. Previously, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun confirmed on Weibo that the Xiaomi 15 series would see a price increase. He said: "Last year, I told you that the Xiaomi 14 would be the last to be priced at 3999. This year, the cost of components has risen significantly, and we have also invested heavily in R&D. The Xiaomi 15 does need to increase its price. Thank you for your understanding, we will definitely make the best products!"

Lei Jun admitted that the main reasons for the price increase of the Xiaomi 15 series are the rising cost of components and the increased investment in R&D. It is understood that the rising cost of memory storage, core components procurement, and exchange rate fluctuations have all affected the price of the Xiaomi 15 series. Industry analysts predict that the starting price of the Xiaomi 15 series will reach the range of 4500-5000 yuan. Even more industry analysts have pointed out that the Xiaomi 15 series has a huge upgrade in both software and hardware, and its starting price may be 4599 yuan.

Some bloggers have also expressed their opinions on the price increase of the Xiaomi 15 series. They believe that the starting price of several new models released by competitors recently has exceeded 4000 yuan, among which the X200 Promini, also a small-screen model, is as high as 4699 yuan. "Both of them are equipped with the Dimensity 9400 platform, while the Xiaomi 15 is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, so it makes sense for the Xiaomi 15 to be 300-500 yuan more expensive just in terms of the chip!" The blogger said, "If we refer to the starting price of 4699 yuan for the competitor's small-screen model, even if the Xiaomi 15 starts at 4899 yuan, it's still 200 yuan cheaper, let alone 4599 yuan!"

Wang Teng, Deputy General Manager of Xiaomi's China Market Department and General Manager of the Redmi brand, also explained the reasons for the price increase of this year's flagship phones. He said that this year's flagship processors have been upgraded to the latest 3nm process, significantly increasing the cost of the process. On the other hand, the price of memory has been continuously increasing for a year and has reached a high point, so everyone can see that the price increase of models with large memory is even greater. At the end of last year, the price of memory was at a historical low, and he reminded everyone at that time, "Buy large memory while you still can!"

Currently, the specific price of the Xiaomi 15 series has not been announced, but based on Lei Jun's statements and industry analysis, the price of this new phone will break the 4000 yuan barrier. Although the price increase is inevitable, Xiaomi promises to make the best products. It is believed that the Xiaomi 15 series will still attract consumers with its powerful performance and rich features.
