Lu Weibing’s Vision

While the Xiaomi Group President, Lu Weibing, underlined how the new flagship platform would turn over a new leaf, he also noted that combined with the new Surge OS optimizations, the Xiaomi 15 series will set a new benchmark in mobile performance.

Pricing Strategy and Future Plans

Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, ever said during the launch conference of Xiaomi 14 series that those flagships would be the last phones positioned from 3,999 yuan. Later, Xiaomi will be positioning more high-end products in the market and wouldn’t be constrained by any ceiling price, which may result in being at a more competitive position in the high-end smartphone market.

Expected Launch Date and Announcement

The Xiaomi 15 series will officially arrive on October 29. An exact time of the press conference should come a little later in the week, possibly along with more information about the price and availability of these devices. While all eyes look up to the next flagship from Xiaomi, the series does promise more in terms of pushing the boundaries of technology on smartphones and resetting bars in the industry.
