Xiaomi has launched its latest flagship, the Xiaomi 15, in China. It features a 6.36-inch 1.5K OLED LTPO display with 3200 nits peak brightness, a smooth 1-120Hz refresh rate, and ultra-narrow 1.38mm bezels for an immersive viewing experience.
The new Xiaomi 15 boasts a sleek design with a flat, one-piece aluminum frame featuring rounded corners and sharp edges, making its 71.2mm-wide body easy to hold with one hand. Inside, it runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and an advanced wing-shaped vapor cooling system, promising triple the cooling efficiency of standard VC designs.
On the back, the phone includes a Leica-powered triple-camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, 50MP ultra-wide, and 50MP telephoto lens, all supported by Xiaomi’s AISP 2.0 computational photography. The device also introduces an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, a larger 5400mAh battery with 90W wired and 50W wireless charging options, ensuring fast power-ups and extended use.
The Xiaomi 15’s silver variant uses 3D hot-bent glass to create a textured, wave-like feel. Xiaomi has also designed high-gloss middle frames in two finishes: bright silver and bright black. Additionally, the phone is available in 20 custom colors, many of which feature bold, saturated tones to add extra personality and flair.
The Xiaomi 15 Diamond Limited Edition adds luxury with a diamond-inlaid middle frame and a unique back panel crafted from crocodile-textured Kona leather. It’s available in three stylish colors—glacier white, elephant gray, and orange—that complement the shimmering accents and create a refined, high-fashion look.
The Xiaomi 15 sports a 6.36-inch 1.5K OLED LTPO display with a resolution of 2670 x 1200, supporting a 1-120Hz variable refresh rate, up to 3200 nits peak brightness, and a high contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1. This 20:9 screen also supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision, 12-bit color, and 1920Hz PWM dimming, all protected by Xiaomi’s Ceramic Glass 2.0.
Under the hood, it features an octa-core Snapdragon 8 Elite 3nm processor with an Adreno 830 GPU, coupled with 12GB or 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and storage options of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB using UFS 4.0. The phone runs Xiaomi’s new HyperOS 2.
For photography, it has a Leica-branded triple rear camera setup: a 50MP main sensor with Light Fusion technology and Hyper OIS, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP telephoto with OIS. It supports 8K video recording. The front-facing 32MP camera allows for 4K video at 60 fps.
Other notable features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, IP68 water and dust resistance, and connectivity options like 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS (including NavIC), and NFC.
