In October, Xiaomi introduced its flagship 15 series smartphones in China. These new models come with Snapdragon 8 Elite processors, upgraded camera features, and bigger batteries than the earlier versions. Fans around the globe have been eagerly waiting for the international release. The Xiaomi 15 has recently been certified by Thailand’s NBTC, hinting that the launch might be happening sooner than expected.
Global Model Details
According to MySmartPrice, the global version of the phone carries the model number 24129PN74G. It is confirmed to support GSM, WCDMA, LTE, and NR connectivity. Sadly, the listing does not provide additional specifics. Recently, the device also appeared in the FCC database, which confirmed two configurations for the global market: 12GB RAM with 256GB storage and 12GB RAM with 512GB storage. It will be pre-installed with HyperOS 2, which is Xiaomi's latest skin based on Android 15.
Design and Battery Features
The global version of the Xiaomi 15 is expected to closely match its Chinese version, suggesting it will include the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. It should come with a large 5,400mAh battery supporting 90W wired and 50W wireless charging options.
Anticipated specs also include a 6.36-inch LTPO OLED display with a resolution of 1200 x 2670 pixels. The dynamic refresh rate will range from 1Hz to 120Hz, which helps in conserving battery life while providing smooth scrolling and gaming experiences. Additionally, the display is expected to support Dolby Vision and HDR10+, which should enhance color vibrancy and depth.
Camera Capabilities and Launch Timing
For photography enthusiasts, the device is likely to have a triple-camera setup featuring 50MP sensors for the primary camera, ultra-wide lens, and a 3x telephoto lens. While Xiaomi's past releases suggest a global launch could happen in February or March of 2025, the recent certifications of these new flagships in different global markets imply that the launch could happen sooner than anticipated.
In other developments, Xiaomi's sub-brand has also launched its flagship smartphones, the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro, in China. These models are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite processors, respectively. The Redmi series boasts large batteries, advanced cooling systems, and enhanced camera capabilities.
