The first price information was shared for Xiaomi's highly anticipated phones Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro. Both models will be more expensive than Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro. Here are the details...
Xiaomi, one of the first brands that comes to mind when it comes to Android phones, is about to complete its preparations on its new phones Xiaomi 15 series. As you know, Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro models are expected to be released in the next few months. In the past hours, the first price information about the Xiaomi 15 series was shared.
According to recent reports, the Xiaomi 15 will have a starting price of 4,599 Yuan ($650), while the 15 Pro will have a starting price of 5,499 Yuan ($775). For comparison, let us remind you that the currently available Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro were introduced at a price of 3,999 and 4,999 yuan respectively. The biggest reason for the price increase is likely due to chipset and storage costs.
For those who missed it, Xiaomi's founder and president Lei Jun had previously confirmed that the Xiaomi 15 series will move away from the 3,999 yuan starting price period. Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which is expected to power the phones, will be 25 to 30 per cent more expensive than its predecessor. This points to a price of $ 190 to $ 200. So this high chip cost will undoubtedly affect the final price of the Xiaomi 15 series
According to current leaks, the Xiaomi 15 series will offer extensive upgrades such as larger primary sensors, telephoto macro, ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint reader, glass body, silicon anode batteries, wireless fast charging and IP68 certification. In addition, the Xiaomi 15 is expected to be powered by a 1.5K resolution flat screen, while the Xiaomi 15 Pro is expected to be powered by a narrower 2K resolution curved screen.
In addition, Xiaomi 15 will be equipped with a 50MP primary, 50MP ultra-wide angle, 50MP telephoto lens. In Xiaomi 15 Pro, we will encounter a larger primary camera in a similar setup.
