As we enter mid-August, leaks about flagship phones from various manufacturers are gradually increasing.

Recently, Mingmei Infinite learned that according to exposures, the production process of the Xiaomi 15 series is accelerating, and the inventory preparation time for the first launch products is relatively tight. Therefore, it is expected that there may be a shortage of supply in the initial stage of the new phone's launch, similar to the hot sales and out-of-stock phenomenon during the launch of the Xiaomi 14 series.

In addition, a set of Xiaomi 15 real machine renderings have recently been exposed online, quickly attracting the attention of many tech enthusiasts and consumers. This upcoming product, not only achieves innovation and breakthroughs in design, but also undergoes a comprehensive upgrade in hardware configuration and user experience, promising to once again lead the trend in the small-screen flagship market.

From the exposed renderings, Xiaomi 15 continues the classic elements of the Xiaomi family in its design and incorporates bold innovations. The body adopts an ultra-thin bezel straight screen design with equal widths on all four sides, almost achieving a visually borderless experience. The screen size is 6.36 inches with a resolution of 1.5K, providing a detailed and vibrant display. The screen bezel is further narrowed to 1.50mm, combined with a centered punch-hole design, resulting in an extremely high screen-to-body ratio that provides users with a more immersive visual experience.

Although rumors mention "Xiaomi 15," the slightly rounded back cover and periscope telephoto lens in the triple camera setup suggest that this is most likely the Xiaomi 15 Pro model.

Its overall design incorporates many elements from the Xiaomi 12 series, such as the "three-bedroom, one-living room" camera layout, which has been praised as Xiaomi's most beautiful design, making the camera module more harmonious.

The color scheme in the renderings is also similar to the Xiaomi 12 series, or perhaps the creator simply prefers the appearance of the Xiaomi 12 series.

It is worth mentioning that some digital bloggers have pointed out that the renderings are obviously fake, with various details not matching up.

Previously, the blogger hinted at the industrial design of the Xiaomi 15, featuring a 1.5K straight screen on the front, a metal right-angle frame design, and a square camera module on the top left corner with a volcanic crater transition design and an external flash, removing the Parisian studs.

The square camera module gives the back of the phone a more streamlined and elegant look, while the volcanic crater transition design cleverly connects the camera and phone case, resulting in a harmonious and unified overall design.

Regardless of whether the appearance of the Xiaomi 15 matches the renderings, in terms of specifications, the Xiaomi 15 will not disappoint Mi fans.

In terms of core performance, the Xiaomi 15 is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 chip, which not only uses TSMC's second-generation 3nm process but also adopts Qualcomm's self-developed Nuvia CPU architecture for the first time.

Recent reports suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 has a super-large core with a maximum clock speed of 4.09GHz, and the six large cores have a clock speed of 2.78GHz, delivering significantly better performance than the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 and helping the Xiaomi 15 solidify its position as a "pocket rocket."

In terms of photography, the Xiaomi 15 features a triple camera setup with a 50-megapixel main camera, which will adopt a new large-sensor optical image stabilization lens, complemented by an ultra-wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens. The battery capacity is around 4900mAh, supporting 90W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging.

Another selling point of the Xiaomi 15 is its fingerprint recognition, featuring the ultrasonic fingerprint technology that Mi fans have been eagerly awaiting. The supplier is Goodix Technology, a domestic giant in fingerprint recognition. Compared to the previous optical in-display fingerprint recognition of the Xiaomi 14, ultrasonic fingerprint recognition offers better convenience (only one enrollment required), faster unlocking speed, higher recognition rate, and better anti-interference performance, effectively enhancing the daily user experience.

In terms of color options, the Xiaomi 15 will offer a variety of fresh and fashionable choices to meet the individual needs of different users. According to the renderings, the model will come in light gray, light blue, light green, and other color schemes, making it more visually appealing.

In addition, let's get back to the topic. At the Xiaomi 15 series launch event scheduled for the end of October,

If all goes well, the much-anticipated Pengpai OS 2.0 will also make its debut.

Currently, rumors suggest that the main upgrade direction of the new system is Full scene AI (AI across all scenarios).

According to introductions, this new system focuses on All scenario intelligence + All platform interconnection (intelligent capabilities across all scenarios and interconnectivity across platforms), and will be comprehensively upgraded to an AI system, going beyond just launching some AI applications as before. AI will be deeply integrated into various aspects.

Pengpai OS, released by Xiaomi in October last year, officially succeeded MIUI, not only pre-installed on new models but also adapted to a large number of older models.

Pengpai OS integrates Linux and Xiaomi Vela, rebuilding core modules and incorporating eight new subsystems to create an active, intelligent, high-performance, and secure system platform. It adopts a new cross-device interconnection framework, enabling dynamic device networking and seamless capability coordination.

It is expected that Pengpai OS 2.0 will further enhance interconnectivity, providing a more convenient and seamless cross-device experience.

Regarding this, Mingmei Infinite is most concerned about:

Will the basic experience finally meet expectations?

Finally, according to various sources, the Xiaomi 15 series is expected to officially launch in October this year, reigniting the enthusiasm of Mi fans. However, along with the launch of the new products, the predicted pricing of the Xiaomi 15 series has also attracted widespread attention, sparking heated discussions on social media.

Looking back at last year, the Xiaomi 14 series won widespread praise in the market with a starting price of 3,999 yuan, and its high cost-performance ratio made it a top choice for many consumers. However, this price may become history this year. According to several digital bloggers, the starting price of the Xiaomi 15 standard edition is expected to reach 4,599 yuan, while the starting price of the Xiaomi 15 Pro may climb to 5,499 yuan. Behind this price increase is a significant rise in storage and chip costs, forcing manufacturers to adjust their pricing strategies to cope with cost pressures.

In response to this prediction, netizens have mixed reactions. Some understand that rising costs in the current market environment naturally lead to price increases. However, more Mi fans express their expectations for Xiaomi's cost-performance ratio advantage, believing that a starting price of 4,599 yuan is on the high side. They hope Xiaomi can maintain an affordable price point, setting the starting price at a more reasonable range such as 4,299 yuan or 4,399 yuan.
