The Xiaomi 15's Chinese variant made quite an impression recently on Geekbench 6 before its official release. Now, it seems that the international version has taken a different route by focusing on the benchmark's AI performance tests ahead of time.
Speculation on Snapdragon 8 Elite
This device is believed to be the world's smallest smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, as indicated by its model number: 24129PN74G. The "G" at the end suggests that it could be a global version, derived from the original model number 24129PN74C.
Chipset Differences
However, if this is indeed the Xiaomi 15, the global variant appears to have a distinct chipset in the Geekbench AI tests. It features a 6-core setup running at 2.78GHz and 2 additional cores at 4.09GHz, differing from the familiar 6 cores at 3.53GHz and 2 cores at 4.32GHz introduced at Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon Summit.
Benchmark Scores
Assuming it is the Xiaomi 15, the benchmark scores so far are fairly impressive, with results ranging from 3,045 to 4,254. These scores are generally superior and more consistent compared to those of the Xiaomi 14 (model number 23127PN0CG) in the same benchmarks.
In conclusion, this leak could very well indicate that Xiaomi is on the verge of introducing the world's first compact smartphone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and running Android 15.
