Xiaomi 15 Series Continues its Momentum: Xiaomi 15S Pro and Xiaomi 15 Ultra on the Horizon

Several months ago, Xiaomi launched the highly anticipated Xiaomi 15 series, its flagship digital series. The series quickly surpassed one million sales upon release, setting a new sales record for Xiaomi's digital flagship line and demonstrating strong market competitiveness. As time goes on, subsequent products in the Xiaomi 15 series are gradually emerging, attracting widespread attention.

Even before the release of the standard Xiaomi 15 and the Xiaomi 15 Pro, rumors of a Xiaomi 15S Pro circulated online. Reports suggested that the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro had internal codenames "Dada" and "Haotian," respectively, while the Xiaomi 15S Pro was codenamed "Dijun." Recently, a new Xiaomi phone model, 25042PN24C, passed 3C certification, with the certification information indicating support for up to 90W fast charging, further solidifying speculation that it is the Xiaomi 15S Pro.

The Xiaomi 15S Pro is reportedly a China-only model, not intended for overseas markets. It is expected to launch around June this year. Early leaks suggested a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 4 chip, but recent information points towards a new variant from Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8s Elite series.

• Current leaks about the Snapdragon 8s Elite reveal a new 1+3+2+2 architecture, with clock speeds of 13.21GHz + 33.01GHz + 22.80GHz + 22.02GHz, and an Adreno 825 GPU. Performance is expected to be close to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Geekbench 6 scores show a single-core score of 1967 and a multi-core score of 5827, though this may not represent its peak performance. For comparison, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scores around 2200 in single-core and 7000 in multi-core on the same benchmark. However, the final chip model in the Xiaomi 15S Pro remains to be officially confirmed.

Beyond the Xiaomi 15S Pro, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is even more highly anticipated. Previous reports suggested a post-Lunar New Year release and global availability. Recently, a set of images believed to be the Xiaomi 15 Ultra leaked online, closely matching previously leaked design renders, suggesting they are near-final production units.

The leaked images show a Xiaomi 15 Ultra with a black matte back, a large circular rear camera module, continuing the previous generation's ring-shaped lens design, but with a revised L-shaped arrangement. The main camera, ultrawide lens, and telephoto lens are arranged horizontally, with the periscope telephoto lens in the upper right corner and the flash above the entire camera array.

Previous leaks indicate that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will feature a 1-inch 50MP main camera, a 200MP periscope telephoto lens (possibly using the Samsung ISOCELL HP9 sensor), a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a newly designed custom portrait telephoto lens. Compared to the previous generation, the Samsung ISOCELL HP9 sensor boasts a 12% increase in light sensitivity and improved autofocus contrast performance, resulting in more vibrant colors and sharper focus.

Other expected specifications include a choice of leather, glass fiber, and ceramic materials, a 2K subtly curved display, and single-point ultrasonic fingerprint recognition. It's expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and include a battery exceeding 6000mAh, though 120W fast charging may be absent.

In summary, the upcoming Xiaomi 15S Pro and Xiaomi 15 Ultra demonstrate Xiaomi's continued commitment to the high-end flagship market. The exact specifications and release dates for both devices await official confirmation from Xiaomi. However, based on current information, both phones boast impressive hardware and promising camera systems, positioning them to be market highlights and further solidify Xiaomi's position in the premium smartphone sector. The success of the Xiaomi 15 series has laid a solid foundation for future product development, and we eagerly await their arrival.
