The company stated the new Xiaomi 15 line-up is the first of its handsets to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, a chipset which packs a “PC-level, dual core architecture”.
Xiaomi 15 series sports a quad-curve middle frame design with a glass material and the special edition of the handset includes a “rear glass panel” revealing a textured ripple effect.
It has a 6.36-inch display.
Through a strategic partnership with Leica, the smartphone deploys a trio of ultra high-speed lenses and camera technologies that allow for “superior image capabilities”. Xiaomi complements the use of sensors and lenses with AI-powered imaging.
