Xiaomi has officially launched the Xiaomi 15, its first flagship of 2024. Known for packing top-end hardware at aggressive prices, Xiaomi is positioning this device as a direct competitor to Samsung, OnePlus, and iQOO flagships. The biggest highlight is that the Xiaomi 15 debuts the brand-new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, making it one of the most powerful smartphones of the year.
Design and Build
The Xiaomi 15 comes with a refreshed design featuring a sleek glass back and aluminum frame. The phone is slim, lightweight, and available in bold color options like Black, Mint Green, White, and Titanium. It also carries an IP68 rating, making it water- and dust-resistant, a feature often reserved for ultra-premium models.
Display Technology
The front is dominated by a 6.36-inch AMOLED LTPO display with a 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It supports 2K resolution, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, delivering sharper visuals and deeper colors than many rivals. The peak brightness goes up to 3000 nits, making outdoor visibility effortless even under bright sunlight.
Performance Beast
The Xiaomi 15 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, built on 3nm technology. This makes it not only faster
but also more power-efficient than last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Benchmarks already show performance levels rivaling Apple’s A17 Pro. Paired with 12GB/16GB RAM and up to 1TB storage, the phone is ready for heavy gaming, professional use, and AI-driven applications.
Camera Setup
Xiaomi has always focused on cameras, and the Xiaomi 15 continues that tradition. The phone comes with a triple Leica-tuned camera system:
50MP main sensor with OIS
50MP ultra-wide lens
50MP telephoto lens with 3x zoom
On the front, a 32MP selfie camera ensures sharp images and smooth 4K video calls. Leica’s color science and Xiaomi’s AI algorithms combine to deliver photos with natural tones and excellent low-light results.
The Xiaomi 15 packs a 5240mAh battery with support for 90W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. Xiaomi claims that the phone can charge from 0–100% in under 30 minutes using its wired charger, making it one of the fastest-charging flagships in 2024.
Software and Updates
Out of the box, the phone runs HyperOS based on Android 14. The company has promised 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security patches. HyperOS focuses on smoother animations, AI assistance, and deeper integration with Xiaomi’s ecosystem of smart devices.
Price in India
The Xiaomi 15 is expected to launch in India at around ₹59,999 for the base variant. Considering its specs, it is positioned as a flagship killer against the Galaxy S24 and OnePlus 12.
Final Verdict
The Xiaomi 15 is more than just another flagship — it’s a performance powerhouse with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, Leica cameras, blazing-fast charging, and a stunning AMOLED panel. If you’re looking for cutting-edge performance without paying Ultra-level prices, this phone deserves serious attention in 2024.
