Xiaomi 15 Series Prices Set to Rise Significantly: Lei Jun: "The 3999 Yuan Era is Over"

Xiaomi's 15 series is slated to launch on October 29th, and the much-anticipated pricing question has finally been addressed. Earlier, during the Xiaomi 14 series launch, Lei Jun declared that the Xiaomi 15 series would say goodbye to the 3999 yuan starting price, making it clear that prices would rise. Recently, Lei Jun addressed questions from users, confirming the price increases.

Lei Jun pointed out that the 3999 yuan pricing for the Xiaomi 14 series was "the last stand." This year, the upgrade to 3nm technology, along with a major surge in RAM and ROM costs, combined with Xiaomi's substantial investments in research and development, have all led to the price increase of the Xiaomi 15 series. Nevertheless, Lei Jun stressed that the Xiaomi 15 series still offers great value, and the price increases are "justified."

To fully showcase the power of on-device AI, the entire Xiaomi 15 series will start with 12GB of RAM. Referring to the Xiaomi 14 series, the 12GB RAM version started at 4299 yuan. However, Lei Jun seemed to hint that the price for the same storage might also increase, suggesting that the starting price for the Xiaomi 15 series could reach 4399 yuan or even higher.

Based on Lei Jun's statements, it can be inferred that the prices of the Xiaomi 15 series will see a significant rise. On one hand, the larger starting storage and increased supply chain costs directly contribute to higher prices. On the other hand, Lei Jun's implication of a price increase for the same storage suggests a general upward trend in pricing.

While the price increase for the Xiaomi 15 Pro might be relatively smaller, considering the Xiaomi 14 Pro already started with 12GB RAM and lacked the significant price difference between the 8GB and 12GB versions. However, taking into account the overall price increase trend, the Xiaomi 15 Pro is sure to be priced higher than the Xiaomi 14 Pro.

In conclusion, the price increase of the Xiaomi 15 series is a certainty. Driven by larger storage and rising costs, the starting price will see a substantial increment. However, Lei Jun emphasizes that the Xiaomi 15 series still offers excellent value, and the price increase is justified. The final pricing will be announced at the launch on October 29th. We eagerly await the unveiling.
