I have to say, time flies really fast.
The Xiaomi 14 series was released in October last year.
Xiaomi 14, which is sold at 3999 yuan, continues the small size strategy, the bezel is further narrowed, the screen is upgraded from 1080P to 1.5K, and it is also equipped with a new generation of Xiaomi surging OS and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processing, it can be said that people who like small screens will definitely not be able to avoid this flagship.
The higher-end Xiaomi 14 Pro, while the CMOS and processor are the same as the Xiaomi 14, it also brings a different isodepth quad curved screen, as well as a special edition of titanium.
As for the dragon crystal glass carried by the Xiaomi 14 Pro, it was further upgraded after four months and became the "dragon crystal ceramic back cover" carried by the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which caused a lot of controversy, and the UP main Shengli Wen crepe laboratory test claimed that " it is glass-ceramic ".
As time goes on, the discussion about the Xiaomi 14 series has gradually subsided, although it is only mid-May, but the news of the next-generation flagship Xiaomi 15 series has been one after another.
The first is Xiaomi Mi 15, the small screen party can relax, Xiaomi Mi 15 still uses a 6.3+ inch 1.5K display, Huaxing Optoelectronics C9 is made of light-emitting substrate, this time the bezel is further narrowed to 1.5mm, extremely narrow straight screen, should I say it or not, this appearance really hits the heart of the fruit.
On the back, the top left is still a square Deco triple camera, and the main camera is a 50-megapixel outsole camera, and if the CMOS area is further increased, the Deco will also increase accordingly, which may be more uncoordinated on the small backplate.
Students who have used Xiaomi 14 know that the short-throw fingerprint experience is not good, the unlocking position is awkward, the fingers or screen have grease and dirt that will affect the recognition rate, and the installation position of the short-throw fingerprint also needs to avoid the battery, which affects the battery life.
So this time the Xiaomi Mi 15 is likely to be upgraded to ultrasonic fingerprints, with increased penetration and anti-interference capabilities, and an improved success rate.
However, even if it is still a short-throw fingerprint solution, it is still at the same level as the Huawei Pura 70, which may feel a little better when you think about it.
In terms of battery, the Xiaomi 15 is equipped with a new generation of silicon material high-density cells, which is expected to use a combination of 5000mAh + 90W wired + 50W wireless.
Overall, the Xiaomi Mi 15 is an excellent product that improves on the shortcomings of the previous generation and maintains its unique performance among small-screen models.
Next up is the Xiaomi 15 Pro, which is positioned as an all-round flagship, and still continues the well-received 2K full-depth micro-curved screen design, with a screen size of 6.73 inches.
Although the overall appearance is not much different from the Xiaomi 14 Pro, such as the same square camera module.
However, due to the increased size and pixels, the flash will be placed separately from the camera module, probably like the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro.
The Xiaomi Mi 15 Pro's main camera, ultra-wide-angle, and telephoto are all 50 million pixels.
One message says that the main camera is a 1/1.3" outsole sensor, while the aperture range of the lens is upgraded to f/1.2-f/5.0.
An aperture of f/1.2 is extremely rare for smartphones, making it easy to capture crisp and bright photos in low-light conditions.
There is also a message that it is possible to go on a larger 1-inch CMOS.
Either way, the boost on the main camera, especially at night, will be noticeable.
As for the ultra-wide angle, it is said that Samsung's JN1 is no longer used.
On the telephoto, it may be a periscope telephoto with telephoto macro, which is also a super-large aperture scheme, which has better imaging quality at night.
In short, if the previous generation further honed in the hardware and software and Leica color, this generation of Pro specializes in low-light scenes.
In terms of battery, the Pro is expected to use a combination of 5500mAh + 120W wired + 80W wireless.
In terms of system, it should be the latest surging OS 2.0.
Full-featured NFC, infrared, dual soak, X-axis motor, and IP68 dust and water resistance are no exceptions.
Most notably, the Xiaomi 15 series is expected to make its world debut Snapdragon 8 Gen4.
根据爆料，骁龙 8 Gen4 采用台积电 N3E 工艺，CPU 架构为 2*Phoenix L 核心 + 6*Phoenix M 核心。
Blogger Nonx_ recently released a running score test video of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 engineering prototype, in which the Antutu running score of this ES chip is about 170~1.9 million, and the overall frequency is extremely low, and the low-frequency performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen4 has surpassed the peak performance of the existing Snapdragon 8 Gen2.
Another highlight of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 is that it can run native 1080p resolution Genshin Impact games.
In addition, it has been revealed that Qualcomm is currently redesigning the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor with a new target frequency of 4.26GHz, a change that is mainly in response to Apple's M4 / A18 / Pro processors.
Pull so high frequencies? Qualcomm: Do you want to be a fire dragon again?
However, it can also be inferred that TSMC's 3nm "N3E" process is indeed very good.
Combined with the recent announcement of Genshin Impact image quality upgrade, which indicates that the picture performance of processors and below such as Snapdragon 865 and Kirin 9000SL will be reduced to a certain extent, and for the game party, Snapdragon 8 Gen4 has a lot of appeal.
In this way, the Xiaomi 15 series is even more worth looking forward to.
It is said that it is expected to enter mass production in September and officially launch it in October.
