Regarding performance, the company’s latest flagships will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, which Qualcomm plans to unveil between October 21 and October 23 at this year’s Snapdragon Summit. Following Qualcomm’s launch of the new chip, we can expect the Xiaomi 15 series to be released in China shortly thereafter. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 mobile platform will utilize TSMC’s advanced N3E node 3nm process, incorporate Qualcomm’s own Oryon CPU core, and come with a new Adreno GPU, potentially the Adreno 830. According to previous reports, the AnTuTu benchmark score for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset may surpass 3 million points.
A recent leak indicates that the company will launch the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Ultra globally in the first quarter of 2025, although the Pro model is expected to remain exclusive to China.
