Xiaomi 15 Drops 8GB RAM, Starts at 12GB, Lei Jun: Future Flagship Memory Will Be Upgraded!

Fast Technology reported on October 28th that the Xiaomi 15 is about to be released. Lei Jun previously revealed that the series will drop the 8GB RAM version, with the standard version starting at 12GB, and the price will also increase. Wang Teng of Xiaomi stated that future flagship phones will all cancel 8GB RAM, mainly because the memory usage of on-device AI large models is increasing.

With the rapid development and application of AI technology on mobile phones, on-device AI functions will become more prevalent in the coming years. To achieve the effect of rapid AI function invocation on mobile phones, the most efficient method is to keep AI models loaded in the running memory, which requires larger memory as support. Therefore, choosing phones with larger memory versions will become an inevitable trend for future users.

Considering the rapid application and popularization of AI capabilities on mobile phones in the future, Xiaomi recommends users choose larger memory versions when financially feasible. It is worth noting that the memory pricing differences between different phone brands are significant, so users need to carefully scrutinize when making purchases.

Currently, multiple phone brands have started expanding the running memory of their devices to meet the normal usage needs of on-device AI functions. The most typical example is the iPhone 16 series, which upgraded all four models to 8GB RAM to support Apple's AI native system, AppleIntelligence.

As an annual flagship, the Xiaomi 15 series will offer a minimum of 12GB RAM, and is expected to offer a 16GB RAM version. Combined with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, the Xiaomi 15 series will see a significant improvement in AI performance.

In addition to memory upgrades, the Xiaomi 15 series has undergone comprehensive upgrades in other areas as well. In terms of core configuration, the Xiaomi 15 uses a 1.5K straight screen while the Xiaomi 15 Pro adopts a 2K full deep four-micro-curved screen. Both are equipped with M9 luminous materials, resulting in a significant improvement in power consumption control. The battery life of the Xiaomi 15 has increased by 23%, and the battery life of the Xiaomi 15 Pro has increased by 38%.

It is worth noting that the Xiaomi press conference scheduled for 7:00 PM on October 29th will not only showcase the Xiaomi 15 series, but also unveil Xiaomi's Pengpai OS 2, the mass-produced version of Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, the Xiaomi Pad 7 series, Xiaomi Watch S4, Xiaomi Band 9 Pro, as well as a new high-end Pro series of home appliances, smart door locks, Wi-Fi 7 routers, and a total of 16 new products.

Lei Jun stated that this press conference will be a concentrated showcase of the achievements of Xiaomi's human-car-home full-ecosystem strategy, urging everyone to be prepared.
