Emir BardakçıAll eyes are on Xiaomi’s flagship series, the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Ultra, which have yet to go on sale. The devices, which released the Chinese market in September and December, have not yet made their way to the global market. Xiaomi will stop sales of the Xiaomi 15 series in order to release Xiaomi 17 series on global market.
Stock Crisis and Forced Farewell
According to reports from Xiaomi Store employers to us, Xiaomi is experiencing an unexpected “stock shortage” in the global market. Despite its hardware capabilities, the Xiaomi 15 series continues to fall short of sales targets and occupy warehouses.
The Xiaomi 15 series didn’t bring any major innovations and this caused in very low sales figures. The Xiaomi 15 series may be the phone that Xiaomi is struggling to sell the most. It is expected that the remaining Xiaomi 15 stock will be sold at a discounted price through a campaign soon.
Strategic Plan: Delist
Xiaomi’s roadmap has become clear. The company is preparing to delist the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Ultra models. With current stock levels falling to a critical threshold, these two models will be removed from shelves and replaced by the eagerly awaited Xiaomi 17 series.
I apologize, but that’s not true. Here in Portugal, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra sold like hotcakes. Now, the Xiaomi 15 didn’t bring any evolution; that’s a lie. It brought good things, but that’s also true. The Xiaomi 17 series also cannot be sold well.
I’ll even say that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra doesn’t have a macro mode, while the Xiaomi 15 Ultra does. It’s a disappointment on Xiaomi’s part to remove the macro mode from the Xiaomi 17 Ultra.
