Last year, Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi 14 Series in China and globally this year. The phones are widely praised by users and reviewers around the globe. Now, we are months away from the unveiling of the new Xiaomi 15 Series, and many fans and tech enthusiasts are looking forward to this generation of Xiaomi flagships. In this article, I will focus only on the Xiaomi 15, which will also be launched globally and is eagerly anticipated by everyone.
Battery Capacity Will Exceed 5000mAh
The Xiaomi 15 will come with some of the biggest improvements over the previous generation, the Xiaomi 14. These improvements include enhancements in battery, performance, display, and camera. The Xiaomi 15 will feature a 6.36-inch 1.5K 120Hz LTPO display, with the display being a new substrate supplied by TCL. The battery of the vanilla Xiaomi 15 will receive a major boost from its predecessor, featuring a large 5200~5300mAh battery, making it even bigger than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 5000mAh battery, according to leaks.
The phone will also be the first in the world to debut with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. The camera configuration is well-balanced for a compact phone, featuring a 1/1.31 50MP Light Hunter 900 sensor main camera paired with a 50MP ultra-wide lens and a 50MP floating telephoto lens. The cameras will be co-engineered with Leica. Additionally, the Xiaomi 15 will be one of the few compact phones to support an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner from Goodix.
Overall, the Xiaomi 15 is a fully packed compact flagship. The stacking of materials is the best among any compact flagship. One of the common complaints about compact phones has always been battery life, but that will not be an issue anymore. The Xiaomi 15 Series will debut in China first in late October. The global launch is expected at MWC Barcelona in 2025.
