Chinese electronics giant Xiaomi has officially confirmed the global unveiling of its highly anticipated Xiaomi 15 series smartphones on March 2, just a day before the Mobile World Congress (MWC) kicks off in Barcelona. The lineup is expected to include the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro, both of which debuted in China last year. Additionally, a top-tier Xiaomi 15 Ultra model could also make an appearance. Given that Xiaomi Malaysia’s official Facebook page also shared out the announcement, it might be arriving in our shores sooner rather than later.
