Emir BardakçıBut then again, key Xiaomi executive Lu Weibing and the head of its smartphone division Cici Lao Wei have fanned the ember on Weibo through their posts – using the hashtag #Xiaomi15. It has only just dawned clearer that Xiaomi 15 series is going to be officially launched soon.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 to Power Xiaomi 15
One of the most highly anticipated features of the Xiaomi 15 series is that it will employ Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, supposedly also branded as Snapdragon 8 Elite. This new chipset is improving power efficiency with top-notch performance and is set to power the next generation of flagships; Xiaomi 15 is expected to be among the very first devices to feature it.

Expected Launch Timeline: Following Previous Patterns
Now, the Xiaomi 15 series is expected to launch on October 22, 2024, just a couple of days after Qualcomm officially announces the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

Given the historical trend, it is certain that the Xiaomi 15 series will almost certainly turn up immediately after the announcement of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
