Xiaomi 15 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Rumored to Debut Later This Year
Rumors surrounding Xiaomi’s exclusive partnership with Qualcomm for the first launch rights of the highly anticipated Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC have been circulating since last week. Now, a new leak from the renowned tipster Digital Chat Station sheds light on the potential launch timeline for Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship device.
Xiaomi 15 Coming This October?
According to the latest rumor, the first smartphone featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset is tentatively scheduled to make its debut in mid-October. If previous reports hold true, this would mean that Xiaomi’s next flagship, possibly dubbed the Xiaomi 15, is on track for an official unveiling around that time frame.
While it’s important to approach such leaks with caution due to the dynamic nature of the tech industry, historical patterns suggest that Xiaomi’s flagship announcements typically align with this timeline. For instance, the Xiaomi 14 was unveiled on October 26 last year, indicating that a mid-October launch for its successor wouldn’t be out of the ordinary.
However, it’s worth noting that the initial launch of the Xiaomi 15 is expected to cater primarily to the Chinese market, mirroring Xiaomi’s previous flagship release strategies. International availability may follow suit at a later date, similar to the Xiaomi 14’s debut at MWC earlier this year.
Insights provided by Digital Chat Station hint at impressive performance capabilities for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, with Geekbench scores reaching approximately 2,700 for single-core performance and 10,000 for multi-core performance. Notably, the chipset is rumored to feature two extra-large CPU cores clocked between 3.6 to 4 GHz, promising significant advancements in both CPU and GPU performance.
As anticipation builds for Xiaomi’s next flagship offering, enthusiasts can expect further updates and details to surface in the coming months. Stay tuned for more information on the Xiaomi 15 and its groundbreaking Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.
Pokdepinion: For you Malaysians out there, don’t expect it to popup until early next year at least. If you can’t wait, the existing 14 series is pretty solid as is.
