I don't know if you still remember, Lei Jun said at the Xiaomi 14 series launch conference that Xiaomi 14 will be the last flagship machine to be sold at 3999 yuan, and the future will no longer be limited to this price segment.
This means that the starting price of this year's Xiaomi 15 series may go up further. Recently, the predicted price of the Xiaomi 15 series has also been exposed on the Internet, of which the basic model or 4299 yuan is on sale, and the storage capacity starts at 12GB+256GB. This is actually not a price increase compared to the Xiaomi 14, but it just removes the standard version of 8GB+256GB.
The exposure price of Xiaomi 15 Pro starts at 5399 yuan, with 12GB+256GB storage as standard, compared with the previous generation 14 Pro, the price has increased by 400 yuan, and the satellite communication function may be the key reason for the price increase. Of course, the above is only the price of the Internet, and the authenticity is still up for debate.
In addition, blogger @digitalchatstation shared the latest news of the Xiaomi 15 Pro engineering machine. It is said that this engineering machine uses a square Deco in the upper left corner, the flash has been moved to the outside of Deco, and a new module with a "round sleeve square" design is used.
How does this description feel a bit like the design of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro?
In terms of camera parameters, what is currently displayed is a 50 million pixel super large bottom main camera + 50 million pixel ultra wide angle + 50 million pixel periscope telephoto. Compared with the Xiaomi 14 Pro, it has finally made up for the shortcomings of the periscope telephoto, and the sensor is finally no longer JN1.
The blogger has also previously exposed that the Xiaomi 15 Pro will be equipped with a 2K new substrate full contour deep micro curved screen, and the size has not changed much, as a reference, the 14 Pro is 6.73 inches. The base Xiaomi 15 also continues to have a 6.36-inch 1.5K straight screen, and the bezels will be further narrowed.
At present, the ultrasonic fingerprint is still being tested, which should be a single-point ultrasonic fingerprint solution from Goodix. Compared with the current short-throw optical fingerprint, the advantage of single-point ultrasonic fingerprint is that it is more efficient and safer, and it is less affected by wet hands and stains.
There is also a grapevine mentioning the battery life information, and it is said that the Xiaomi 15 will come with a 5000mAh battery that supports 90W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. The Xiaomi Mi 15 Pro, on the other hand, has a 5,500mAh battery with 120W wired and 80W wireless fast charging.
In short, based on the revelations, Xiaomi 15 Pro has made up for the periscope telephoto, increased battery capacity, used a single-point ultrasonic fingerprint, and faster wireless charging, and there are basically no shortcomings in the configuration, and the appearance may also have relatively obvious changes.
The base Xiaomi Mi 15 is still a small vertical flagship, and it would be a surprise if the battery capacity could really be increased to 5000mAh.
Can everyone accept the price increase of the Xiaomi 15 series?
