Xiaomi has launched its 2025 REDMI Book Pro 14 and REDMI Book Pro 16 laptops in China alongside the Xiaomi 15 Ultra smartphone. The new laptops feature Intel’s second-generation Core Ultra processors, improved displays, and enhanced AI capabilities.

REDMI Book Pro 16

The REDMI Book Pro 16 arrives with a sleek metal body measuring 15.9mm in thickness and weighing 1.88kg. Its standout feature is a 3.1K LCD screen (3072×1920) with a 165Hz refresh rate, 500 nits brightness, and 100% DCI-P3 color coverage. The display is VESA HDR 400 certified with a Delta E value of approximately 0.33 for accurate color representation.

Under the hood, the laptop is powered by either an Intel Ultra 5 225H (14 cores, 4.9GHz) or Ultra 7 255H (16 cores, 5.1GHz) processor. Compared to the 2024 model, the new Pro 16 delivers 21.6% better single-core and 29.5% improved multi-core performance. It comes with 32GB LPDDR5X memory and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, with an additional M.2 slot for storage expansion.

Battery life is a major strength, with the 99Wh battery lasting up to 30 hours. The included 140W GaN USB-C adapter charges the laptop to 54% in 30 minutes and supports 120W phone charging. For cooling, the “Hurricane Cooling” system features dual 12V fans with 200 blades, three heat pipes, and improved thermal conductivity that’s 63.4% better than last year’s model.

The REDMI Book Pro 14 maintains the same 15.9mm thickness as its larger counterpart but weighs just 1.45kg. Its 2.8K screen (2880×1800) offers 500 nits brightness, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 100% sRGB coverage, with the same VESA HDR 400 certification and color accuracy.

Configuration options mirror the Pro 16, with Intel Ultra 5 225H or Ultra 7 255H processors and either 16GB or 32GB of LPDDR5X memory. The Pro 14 sees an 18.5% single-core performance boost and 28.2% multi-core improvement over its predecessor. It also includes a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD with an extra M.2 slot.

The 80Wh battery provides up to 31 hours of use, while the 100W GaN adapter charges to 51% in 30 minutes and supports 55W phone charging. Its cooling system includes dual 12V fans and two heat pipes and supports up to 70W performance.

Xiaomi has officially announced its “Ultra” launch event scheduled for Feb. 27 at 7pm (local time), where two of its most premium products will be unveiled—the Xiaomi 15 Ultra smartphone and the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra electric car. According to the latest information, both devices represent the pinnacle of Xiaomi’s technology, with significant advancements in imaging and performance.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is set to be the brand’s most advanced smartphone yet, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and a Leica quad-camera system. A major upgrade is the periscope telephoto lens, reportedly equipped with a 200-megapixel sensor supporting 100x AI-enhanced zoom for detailed long-range shots. The phone’s official renders reveal a dual-tone design with a silver and black finish, along with a circular camera module carrying the Leica branding.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has hinted at a price increase over the 14 Ultra, which launched at 6,499 Yuan (~$900), due to rising development and component costs.

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra

The SU7 Ultra, Xiaomi’s most expensive product to date, boasts a tri-motor setup (V8s+V8s+V6s) generating a staggering 1,548hp. Equipped with the second-generation Kirin battery, it achieves a 0-100 km/h time of just 1.98 seconds and a top speed exceeding 350 km/h. Xiaomi has retained the same chassis, motor, and battery pack from the concept version for its production model.

RedmiBook Pro 16 2025 AIPC

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi will also introduce the RedmiBook Pro 16 2025, a professional-grade laptop designed for the AI era. It features the Xiaomi AIPC engine, enabling seamless Apple device file transfers and intelligent system optimisations. The laptop is expected to come in at least two colour options—white and blue—while maintaining a minimalist design with an ultra-thin bezel display. Xiaomi positions it as a high-performance notebook with enhanced battery life and a focus on productivity, and it will go on sale immediately after the launch event.

In addition to these flagship products, Xiaomi will introduce several other products, including the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro, a central air conditioner, a dual-system refrigerator, a washer-dryer combo, and an AI-powered smart speaker.

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra and SU7 Ultra will also be showcased for the global market at the upcoming MWC 2025 tech exhibition.
