Xiaomi 15 Custom Edition in Rouge Red
According to leaker Sudhanshu (via XpertPick), the global release of the Xiaomi 15 is anticipated at the upcoming MWC 2025 event, which will take place from March 3 to March 6, 2025. The smartphone is projected to be available in two configurations: 12GB RAM with 256GB storage and 12GB RAM with 512GB storage. In its home country, users can opt for two additional configurations: 16GB RAM with 512GB and 16GB RAM with 1TB.
Global color options for Xiaomi 15
There will be three color options for the global variant: Green, Black, and White. Interestingly, these are the same hues offered with the previous model. In China, the phone can be found in different shades like Lilac Purple and Light Grass Green. Although some variations between the Chinese and global versions are anticipated, it may be surprising if the company sticks to the same colors as last year’s lineup. So, take this aspect of the leak with caution.
Specifications likely to remain unchanged
Furthermore, the internal specs, such as chipset, battery, and camera sensors, are expected to be consistent with the Chinese variant. To recap, the version launched in China features the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a trio of 50MP cameras – including a 1/1.31″ main camera (with OIS), a 3X telephoto lens (with OIS), and a 14mm ultrawide lens – along with a 5400mAh battery that supports 90W wired and 50W wireless fast charging.
Although the camera system is quite similar to that of its predecessor, Xiaomi has made notable enhancements in imaging and video capabilities through advancements in image processing. Therefore, users coming from the Xiaomi 14 series or older devices should notice a significant improvement.
The phone will run on HyperOS 2.0 out-of-the-box, which is based on Android 15. A recent report from Dealabs suggests that pricing in Europe is likely to align with last year’s figures.
