After the release of Xiaomi’s 14 series smartphones, anticipation is now growing for the company’s next flagship, the Xiaomi 15. Even though it’s not expected to debut until late 2024, early leaks and rumors are hinting at potential changes for the device, including a possible price increase.

Recent reports from well-known Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station suggest that the Xiaomi 15 could be priced higher than its predecessor, the Xiaomi 14.

The Xiaomi 14 was launched in China with a starting price of CNY 3,999 (~ $563)  for the base 8GB/256GB storage variant. If we take these leaks into account, we can expect the Xiaomi 15 to be priced at over $600 in China.

While the reasons for this speculated price hike are not confirmed, it’s possible that the increase could be due to upgraded components and features.

The Xiaomi 15 is rumored to come with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. Qualcomm has officially confirmed that this chip will include their custom Oryon CPU cores and is expected to have an improved NPU. Consequently, using this chip from Qualcomm might result in a higher cost compared to the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

These leaks offer early insights into what we might expect from the Xiaomi 15. However, it’s important to remember that information regarding price and specifications is still speculative. We’ll need to wait for more details to get a clearer picture.
