Ahead of the official launch on October 29, Xiaomi has revealed details about its upcoming flagship models, the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro. The company’s focus on refined design and improved performance is evident in these devices, which feature new display technology, advanced materials, and notable upgrades to the hardware.
Design Focused on Display and Usability
Xiaomi’s approach with the 15 series centers on a clean, minimal bezel display with a nearly edge-to-edge view, achieved through a 1.38mm bezel on the base model. The Xiaomi 15’s 6.36-inch AMOLED display offers a 120Hz refresh rate, aimed at smooth visuals and navigation. Careful attention to weight distribution improves in-hand comfort, underscoring a practical design meant for daily usability.
Durability and Premium Materials
The Xiaomi 15 Pro adds durability enhancements, including Longjing Glass 2.0 for added resistance to impacts. Both models are constructed with aviation-grade aluminum and incorporate what Xiaomi terms a “crater lens design” for additional stability. The Pro model further includes a ceramic lens deco design, enhancing the overall build quality.
Internal Hardware
Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, the Xiaomi 15 series is designed to improve power efficiency and handle demanding tasks. Paired with up to 16GB of RAM, the hardware provides stable multitasking and gaming support. The series also debuts Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0, based on Android 15, enhancing system fluidity and minimizing load times.
Battery and Charging Capabilities
The Xiaomi 15 Pro is rumored to feature a 6000 mAh battery, a significant increase from its predecessor’s capacity of 4880 mAh, providing extended usage for power-intensive tasks. Expected support for 90W wired and 50W wireless charging adds flexibility, allowing users faster recharge times.
