Following Qualcomm‘s unveiling of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, Android manufacturers are quickly lining up to launch their most powerful devices. While several brands confirmed phones featuring the chip, all eyes were on Xiaomi, long rumored to be the first to market.
Living up to the speculation, Xiaomi has officially announced the launch of its Xiaomi 15 series on October 29th in China.
However, Xiaomi’s lead may be short-lived. Honor will unveil its Magic 7 series, and iQOO its iQOO 13, on October 30. Similarly, OnePlus will reveal the OnePlus 13 on October 31, and Realme’s GT 7 Pro will debut on November 4 in China. Asus and Nubia have also confirmed upcoming gaming phones powered by the same chip.
We are expecting Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro
Xiaomi is expected to launch the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro smartphones on October 29th. The top-tier model, however, will be the Ultra, which will launch next year.
Globally, we might only see the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Ultra, as the company only launched their respective predecessors last year.
At the same event, Xiaomi will also introduce HyperOS 2.0, based on Android 15, and unveil the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra.
Leaks suggest the standard Xiaomi 15 will maintain a compact design with a 6.36-inch flat AMOLED display. Its Pro counterpart is expected to boast a larger 6.78-inch curved display with 120Hz and advanced features like Dolby Vision.
Continuing its partnership with Leica, Xiaomi is rumored to equip the 15 Pro with a triple-camera system featuring a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 5x optical zoom telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide sensor. Both models are also expected to see improvements in battery life, with capacities exceeding 5,000mAh and support for fast wired and wireless charging. Durability is expected to be bolstered by an IP68 water and dust resistance rating.
