Availability
OnePlus has announced that the beta testing of OxygenOS 15 will kick off by the end of this month (October 30), starting with the OnePlus 12 series. The brand has yet to share any details about a wider stable release of the new software.
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun confirmed the news in a post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, explaining, “The cost of components has increased a lot this year, and we’ve also invested heavily in R&D. So, the Xiaomi 15 does need a price increase.”
This price hike isn’t entirely unexpected. Last year, Jun hinted that the Xiaomi 14 would be the last flagship to start at 3,999 yuan (around $562).
Xiaomi’s president, Lu Weibing, echoed these statements, citing that the new flagship processor brings both improved performance and higher costs. He also cited rising memory prices as another factor behind the price increase.
Xiaomi 15 may start from 4299 yuan
While not explicitly stating a price point, Lu drew a comparison to the Vivo X200, a competitor flagship equipped with the new Dimensity 9400 chip. The price of that phone has increased by “more than 300 yuan,” he noted, asking, “What do you think is a reasonable price increase for the Xiaomi 15?”
This hint suggests the Xiaomi 15 series may see a similar 300 yuan (about $43) increase, potentially raising the starting price to 4,299 yuan ($604).
Xiaomi 15 Pro render
As expected, this news follows months of leaks predicting an uptick in smartphone prices due to rising costs of flagship processors and key components. And Xiaomi’s confirmation now serves as a concrete example.
Additionally, leaked pricing for the OnePlus 13, another phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, also indicates a price hike compared to its predecessor.
As far as specs are concerned, both the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro will have Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 at their core and a triple-camera sensor on the back, with each sensor boasting 50 megapixels.
Design-wise, they are likely to resemble their resemble their predecessors. Xiaomi will also introduce a Titanium version of the Xiaomi 15 Pro with satellite communication support. But both the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Titanium are said to be China-exclusive, like their predecessors.
In a surprising turn of events, Ford Motor Company CEO Jim Farley recently revealed on the Everything Electric Show podcast that his daily driver for the past six months hasn’t been a Ford at all, but a Xiaomi SU7, the electric sedan from the Chinese tech giant.
Farley, known for his focus on electrification within Ford, admitted his usual aversion to discussing competitors. However, his extended experience with the SU7 prompted him to share his thoughts.
“We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago and I’ve been driving it for six months now, and I don’t want to give it up,” Farley said on the podcast.
“It’s fantastic. They sell 10,000, 20,000 a month. They’re sold out for six months,” Farley said of Xiaomi’s success with the SU7 earlier in the interview.
Xiaomi SU7 is the company’s first car!
Xiaomi, primarily known for its dominance in the smartphone and consumer electronics space, announced its entry into the electric vehicle market in 2021.
The SU7, their first model launched just this year, is a full-size sedan priced competitively around $30,000. Despite its affordability, the car boasts features like air suspension, adaptive dampers, and active aero – all contribute to an exciting driving experience.
Additionally, Xiaomi’s in-house Level 2 and NoA (navigate on autopilot) system offers convenience, though its certification is currently limited to 100 Chinese cities.
The SU7’s popularity in China has been nothing short of phenomenal. The entire 2024 production run reportedly sold out on the first day, with Xiaomi claiming to have pre-sold 100,000 units before the first car even rolled off the assembly line.
While sampling competitor vehicles is a common practice within the automotive industry, Farley’s effusive praise for the SU7, especially considering his reluctance to discuss competition, is noteworthy. This could signal a shift in Ford’s strategy as they navigate the increasingly crowded EV market dominated by aggressive Chinese companies like BYD.

Vivo recently launched its flagship devices, the X200 and X200 Pro, with a focus on advanced camera and AI capabilities. However, soon after the release, several users reported issues with excessive lens flares when using the X200 Pro’s main camera, sparking discussions across social media. The company’s Vice President, Huang Tao, has since addressed these concerns, offering insights into the cause and potential solutions.
According to Huang Tao, the lens flare issue is due to the phone’s large f/1.57 aperture, which, while improving low-light performance, makes the camera more susceptible to lens flares caused by bright light sources outside the frame (also noted as off-screen glare). The issue is particularly noticeable when light hits the lens at specific angles, causing off-screen glare that appears more prominent than in other devices.
This is compounded by changes to the camera’s coating technology. While the new coating reduces typical radial or petal glare, it compromises on handling blue spectrum light, which contributes to the visible flares.
Fortunately, Vivo is working on a fix
Huang Tao acknowledged the oversight, mentioning that the problem was not adequately identified during initial testing. To address this, Vivo is preparing an OTA software update that aims to reduce the severity of these flares through optimization.
Additionally, the company plans to introduce hardware adjustments for users facing persistent issues, including peripheral accessories to further mitigate the problem.
Vivo X200 Pro key specifications
Despite the lens flare issue, the X200 Pro continues to impress with its robust camera setup. It features a brand new 50MP main sensor measuring 1/1.28″, a 200MP periscope telephoto lens (3.7x) with Zeiss optics, and a 50MP ultra-wide sensor, delivering high-quality images across various scenarios.
The device is equipped with a 6.78-inch 2K AMOLED display, boasting a 120Hz refresh rate and impressive peak brightness of up to 4500 nits. Powered by MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9400 chipset, the X200 Pro promises improved performance and power efficiency over previous models.
Earlier today (24th October 2024), Xiaomi officially announced the launch date for the Xiaomi 15 series. The brand’s flagship smartphone is expected to launch with cutting edge technology and new features. So here’s what we expect from the upcoming Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro.
The Chinese tech giant is gearing up to launch the Xiaomi 15 series, but ahead of the announcement, it teased the design of the upcoming phones. Both models will feature a flat middle frame and back panel for a seamless look. These are premium devices so it arrives with metal frames. There are also changes in the design of the camera island on the rear, which now softly blends into the back plate.
The base model of the upcoming flagship is expected to be a new compact smartphone. It will sport a 6.36-inch AMOLED screen with a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and a brighter screen than its predecessor. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 15 Pro is rumored to feature a tall 6.78-inch curved AMOLED screen with a 2K+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Dolby Vision. Panels on both models are expected to use TCL’s C9 luminescent material for higher brightness and accurate colors for an improved viewing experience.
