Xiaomi 15S Pro announced before Xiaomi 15 is out

In what can be called a truly unanticipated move in the smartphone space, Xiaomi 15S Pro has been announced before even announcing a Xiaomi 15. An early bird allow comes from renowned tipster DCS on his Weibo account, further hinting that at least two other brands want to push out an “S” model by the year 2025. Given Xiaomi’s history regarding Mi 4S, Mi 5S, and Xiaomi 12S series, it definitely does not come off as a surprise that the brand wants to carry this tendency forward.

Anticipated Specifications and Release Timeline
