Xiaomi’s latest flagship, the 15S Pro, has been making headlines for being the first to ship with an in-house system-on-chip, the XRING O1. But that’s not the only in-house silicon inside the 15S Pro.
The XRING O1 is joined by the company’s in-house XP2210C power management chip and the Surge P3 wired charging IC. Despite these efforts, Xiaomi still relies on a long list of familiar suppliers to get the 15S Pro out the door.
To uncover those suppliers, Counterpoint Research did a teardown of the Xiaomi 15S Pro—and here’s what they found.
Here’s a sneak peek at Xiaomi 15s Pro internals
The teardown reveals that SK Hynix provides the latest LPDDR5T RAM for the smartphone. It uses the Package-on-Package (PoP) integration method for a more compact hardware design. UFS 4.1 storage, meanwhile, comes from Micron.
On the connectivity side, Xiaomi is stuck with MediaTek. The 15S Pro uses the T800 (MT6980W) modem, the MT6639BEW Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip, and the MT6195W RF transceiver.
The Dutch-American company NXP handles both the NFC and UWB components. Whereas, audio is handled by Cirrus Logic, an American semiconductor business.
Other players in the Xiaomi 15S Pro’s hardware ecosystem include Southchip Semiconductor for secondary charging, NuVolta for wireless charging, Vanchip for RF modules, and STMicroelectronics for sensors.
So even though Xiaomi is taking some steps toward chip independence, it still relies on a broad network of component makers to bring its flagship to life. That’s not surprising, though.
Hardware companies often rarely build everything in-house. And for a phone at this price point, Xiaomi is choosing premium partners without blowing up its budget.
