What does Xiaomi 15 look like? I couldn't help it after reading it

Perhaps it's because of the good sales of small-screen models like the Xiaomi 13 and 14 Standard Edition...

The upcoming batch of new phones has prompted some manufacturers to follow suit, not giving Xiaomi the exclusive opportunity to enjoy this big piece of the cake.

Currently, there are rumors about OPPO's Find X8 and vivo's X200!

The former will feature a roughly 6.5-inch 1.5K flat screen, equipped with the latest Dimensity 9400 chip from MediaTek, and a triple-camera system with a single periscope lens...

It's a bit of a pity that it doesn't have ultrasonic fingerprint recognition but uses short-focus optical fingerprint recognition instead.

The latter, vivo's approach, is completely different!

Although it is also a small-screen phone, it is positioned as a "big cup" mini version.

So, in terms of configuration, it should be better~

The current information on the X200 small screen is that it will feature a 6.3-inch 1.5K flat screen, also equipped with the latest Dimensity 9400 chip from MediaTek, a custom 50-megapixel large-sensor main camera from Sony, and a 3X periscope telephoto lens...

Recently leaked prototype photos of the X200!Still with the large circular center module but a flat back panel, this time the small screen is probably also designed in this language.

It's just still short-focus optical fingerprint...

What a pity~

On the other hand, Xiaomi is quite interesting!

At first, the leaked small-screen Xiaomi 15 was said to have ultrasonic fingerprint recognition.

But a couple of days ago, it was said to have been cut...

This has made some fans who were looking forward to the ultrasonic configuration of the Xiaomi 15 a bit restless~

Perhaps the voices were quite high, and they reached the product manager of Xiaomi's mobile phones.

I'll summarize it directly here!

The implication is: "Fake, not cut"~The above Oppo and Vivo models both lack ultrasonic sensors; it should be clear without much elaboration which small-screen phone to buy, right?

Ah! It's not as simple as that, as the fruit doesn't say.

Xiaomi offers ultrasonic sensors, but at what cost?

It means there's a trade-off in the imaging capabilities compared to the aforementioned two small-screen models...

They haven't provided a periscope telephoto lens!

Instead, they've used the same "50-megapixel light hunter main camera + upright telephoto" combination as the Xiaomi 14.

So, for these small-screen models, if you're considering a purchase...

You'll have to decide for yourself whether you want a better unlocking experience?

Or a more powerful imaging capability!

For those who really don't want to choose and want it all, next year's small-screen models will have both ultrasonic sensors and periscope telephoto lenses.The previously rumored design for Xiaomi 15, featuring a "square module in the upper left corner + volcanic transition + external flash"...

Today, the renderings were directly revealed.

The module has reverted to the "two rooms and a living room" partition design from the previous Xiaomi 13, with the camera plus the circular decorative ring from Xiaomi 12, matching the color of the body:

 

Combining two old models, snap! It becomes Xiaomi 15~

Emm... So it's that easy to be a designer now, right?

Fortunately, it was denied!

Otherwise, I'd have to criticize the exterior design of Xiaomi 15 as just this?

However, looking at some of the features in the renderings, they do seem to match the previously leaked information.

Perhaps the person who made the renderings was following the leaks.In other aspects...

The Xiaomi 15 still maintains a 6.3-inch 1.5K straight screen, featuring a new substrate screen and narrower bezels, while the body is more lightweight and thin.

There were previous rumors that the battery would not reach 5200mAh, but recent leaks suggest it is exactly 5200mAh!

Then there's 90W wired flash charging and 50W wireless flash charging.

Just like the previous generation Xiaomi 14.

As for the price...

At the Xiaomi 14 launch event, it was mentioned that the 14 would be the last generation at 3999, and with the price increase of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4, this generation won't be 4299, will it?

There shouldn't be a starting configuration of 8GB now, right? If it starts with 12+256GB, then I think it's acceptable...
