Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro codenames and model numbers go official

Xiaomi is serious when it comes to taking over the high-end space of smartphones, as it prepares for the launch of the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro. Not just the specs were leaked a while ago, but even their codename and model number have surfaced online.

Codenames and Model Numbers

The Xiaomi 15 comes with the codename “dada” and is assigned the model number “24129PN74C.” The discovery thus brings a close association of the device with the creative design and engineering prowess at Xiaomi. On the other end, the Xiaomi 15 Pro comes with the codename “haotian” and is assigned the model number “24101PNB7C.” These provide insights into the internal development processes at Xiaomi and perhaps might hint about characterizations of different models.

Xiaomi 15 Pro will remain exclusive for China while Xiaomi 15 debut on Global.

What does Xiaomi 15 series codenames mean?

In Chinese mythology and culture, both “Dada” and “Haotian” have interesting connotations and backgrounds, reflecting a rich tapestry of history and belief.

Dada

The term “Dada” in Chinese doesn’t have a direct mythological reference, but its components are meaningful in the language and culture:

• dá means “achieve,” “arrive at,” or “attain.”
• When doubled to dada, it can evoke a sense of straightforwardness, effectiveness, or even the sound of galloping horses which symbolizes speed and efficiency.

While not directly tied to a specific mythological figure, the repeated character often symbolizes something energetic, straightforward, and effective in Chinese culture, which could reflect the intended identity or characteristics of the Xiaomi 15 as a fast, efficient, and high-performing device.

Haotian

“Haotian” has a more direct connection to Chinese mythology:

• Hàotiān refers to the “Vast Heaven” or the “High Heaven” and is associated with the supreme celestial god.
• Haotian Shangdi, also known simply as Haotian, is another name for the Jade Emperor (Yù Huáng Dàdì), one of the most important gods in traditional Chinese religion and Taoism.

The Jade Emperor, or Haotian, is considered the ruler of heaven, the overseer of all realms and deities, and the administrator of the laws of the universe. His position and authority are immense, overseeing the cosmic order and ensuring harmony and balance within the celestial realms.

Symbolic Meanings in Naming

• Xiaomi 15 (Dada): By using “Dada,” Xiaomi might be implying a device that is direct, effective, and dynamic, echoing the simplicity and efficiency of modern technology.
• Xiaomi 15 Pro (Haotian): Naming the more advanced model “Haotian” suggests a device of superior, almost celestial quality, echoing the grandeur and supremacy of the Jade Emperor in overseeing the heavens. This could imply a phone that is top-tier, with the highest performance and quality standards, much like the ruler of the celestial realm in mythology.

These names, therefore, enrich the branding with cultural depth, suggesting both devices are not just tools but bearers of a larger narrative of power, efficiency, and supreme quality.

First in the World with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4

The Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro are going to be the very first smartphones ever that have a brain like Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. With the official release scheduled for October, these devices are making waves within the tech community since they were officially announced. The improved processor will ensure much better performance, energy efficiency, and AI capabilities, thus setting new standards for flagships.
