Xiaomi 15 Premiere: What do we know before the launch?
The Xiaomi 15 series is shaping up to be one of the most important technological launches of 2024. Expected models, such as Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi 15 Pro and the top-tier Xiaomi 15 Ultra, attract the attention of both technology enthusiasts and market analysts. The company Xiaomi is set to introduce new smartphones that offer many innovations, from powerful processors supported by the latest technologies to advanced cameras and competitive prices in the Chinese market. Although the Xiaomi 15 launch is still distant, in Poland, you can already know the full specifications of this device.
When will Xiaomi 15 be released?
The premiere of Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro will take place in October, specifically on October 23, 2024, in China. As for the global launch, including in Poland, it is expected that the Xiaomi 15 series will hit the international market at the beginning of 2025, likely during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which will take place in March. Thus, users in China will have access to the new models by the end of October 2024, while the rest of the world, including Poland, will have to wait a few additional months for official distribution. There have been plenty of leaks and rumors online, so we can take a look at the full technical specifications of the new models to learn more about their capabilities.
Xiaomi 15 – Design and functionality
Xiaomi 15 is a model that will offer a 6.36-inch display with a resolution of 1.5K and a refresh rate of 120 Hz and brightness of 1400 nits, making the screen perfectly visible even in bright sunlight. This smartphone will be available in three colors, and its design has been crafted to withstand daily use, highlighted by its IP68 durability.
The design of the model refers to the previous Xiaomi 14 series, but with subtle changes that give it a modern look. The manufacturer has ensured an elegant, metal frame and dual-curved glass, which adds a contemporary character to the device. The smartphone will be available in three classic colors: black, white, and silver, with the option to choose a special Titanium edition.
Xiaomi 15 Pro – Performance and cameras
Xiaomi 15 Pro appeared in the first photo, captured in the hands of one of the company’s vice presidents, Wang Xiaoyan. The photograph is not very detailed but gives a glimpse of the flagship’s overall appearance. The design of the device does not differ significantly from the previous model, Xiaomi 14 Pro. Interestingly, the manufacturer has decided to place the camera module closer to the left edge of the device. A noticeable change is the relocation of the flash – it will disappear from the area directly next to the cameras and will be moved elsewhere.

Xiaomi 15 Pro is a model offering a 2K resolution display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, ensuring exceptional fluidity. The Pro model features a powerful processor supported by Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, backed by 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage. The differences are marked by the larger screen in the Pro model, which measures 6.78 inches, making it perfect for watching movies or gaming.
Another advantage of Xiaomi 15 Pro is its advanced camera system, fine-tuned in collaboration with the brand Leica. The phone is equipped with an advanced camera system featuring a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and a 50 MP main camera, which incorporates a modern Sony LYT-900 sensor with an aperture of f/1.4, allowing for exceptionally detailed photos even in low light conditions.
Additionally, the smartphone has a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50-megapixel macro camera with Sony optics, enabling close-up photography from minimal distances. The selfie camera boasts 32 MP, ensuring excellent photo quality from the front, ideal for social media enthusiasts. Xiaomi 15 Pro is equipped with a 5400 mAh battery. It provides a long usage time on a single charge and supports wired fast charging at 120 W and wireless charging at 50 W.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra – Top-Level Camera
The most powerful model in the series will be the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, which has the potential to revolutionize mobile photography. The main camera will feature a 6.73-inch screen with a 2K resolution, ensuring exceptional image quality. This screen will be made using AMOLED technology with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, providing smooth content display. Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 – the latest and most powerful chip from Qualcomm.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra model will feature a larger battery, providing longer usage time on a single charge. The flagship is equipped with a 6200 mAh battery and 90 W wired fast charging, 80 W wireless, and 10 W reverse charging. This makes it an ideal choice for those who value both powerful performance and long-lasting use without the need for frequent charging.
When Xiaomi 15 Ultra?
In previous years, Xiaomi adopted a strategy where the most advanced models, such as Ultra versions, were presented separately after the launch of the base models. The same may be true for Xiaomi 15 Ultra. While the presentation of the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro models is scheduled for October 23, 2024, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is most likely to be presented at a separate event in the first quarter of 2025.
This approach by Xiaomi makes sense, as the Ultra model always stands out with more advanced features, especially in terms of cameras, such as in this case the periscope telephoto lens with a 200 MP sensor. Presenting the Ultra later allows the brand to maintain interest in products for a longer time. Xiaomi can thus refine the latest technologies that will be included in the most prestigious model of the series.
Prices of Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro in China
Based on leaks, the prices of Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro will be higher than in previous generations. The increase in production costs, especially related to new processors and storage, will certainly affect the overall price increase of the devices. The prices of these smartphones are expected to start from 4599 CNY, which is approximately 2489 PLN, while the Xiaomi 15 Pro is expected to be available for 5499 CNY (around 2976 PLN). However, it should be noted that prices in Poland may be higher due to additional customs fees and taxes.
Will Xiaomi 15 Ultra be more expensive than the rest of the series?
The upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra may indeed be more expensive than the other models in the series. It is anticipated that the price for this flagship could reach as high as 5999 yuan, which makes sense in the context of its planned advanced features and innovative solutions. However, it is worth waiting for official information regarding the availability and pricing of this model, which may vary in the international market.
Summary: Is it worth waiting for the launch of Xiaomi 15?
The Xiaomi 14 series is very popular, but the new Xiaomi 15 series has much more advanced features to offer. Smartphones from the Xiaomi 15 series are a continuation of innovative solutions that will satisfy even the most demanding users.
The Xiaomi 15 series certainly introduces many novelties that may attract user attention. The Xiaomi 15 is a solid offering with a 1.5K display, excellent performance, and a reasonable price. The Xiaomi 15 Pro offers even more – a larger screen, better camera specifications, and higher performance. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has the potential to become a market leader in smartphones thanks to exceptional photo quality and extremely advanced optics.
In summary, the launch of the Xiaomi 15 series is an event worth waiting for, especially if you are looking for a smartphone with excellent build quality, advanced technical specifications, and an affordable price. Regardless of which model you choose, Xiaomi once again proves that it can combine innovation with competitive prices.
