Xiaomi 15 series will probably be released at the end of October this year、Early November,There is still half a year before now,There are already a lot of rice fans around me who want to change their mobile phones have asked me,Is it to buy Xiaomi 14 at a discount,Or buy new instead of buying old,Wait a few months to enter Xiaomi 15 directly? Today, the author will help rice fans no longer hesitate which one to choose from four aspects: performance upgrade, cost performance, screen upgrade and image upgrade.

1 Performance Upgrades

One sentence in a nutshell: If you don't play top-quality games, there is a high probability that you won't experience upgrades, and AI functions may be improved.

If nothing else, the Xiaomi 15 series will most likely continue to launch the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 mobile platform, the running score of this chip has been exposed, Antutu V10 running score can exceed 3 million points, GeekBench multi-core score 10628, the performance has surpassed Apple's A17 Pro chip, compared with the Xiaomi 14 series of Snapdragon 8 Gen3 mobile platform will have a 30%-40% performance improvement.

But having said that, the Xiaomi Mi 14 equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 chip can already easily handle ninety percent of the large-scale games on the market, and the games such as "Genshin Impact" and "Star Dome Orbit" are basically the highest quality full frame, and upgrading to Snapdragon 8 Gen4 may not be so obvious. If you don't usually play games, the Xiaomi Mi 15's performance upgrade is even less experienced.

The improved performance will not only bring benefits to gaming performance, but also help the surging OS achieve richer AI functions, perhaps the Xiaomi 15 series will support more device-side AI functions? Let's wait and see.

2 Value for money

One sentence brief comment: The price increase of Xiaomi 15 series is already a certainty, and the starting price may be increased by 3-500 yuan

In the last month, a digital blogger exposed the version configuration of the Xiaomi 15 series, which will still include Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi 15 Pro, and Xiaomi 15 Pro Titanium Special Edition, and only the Titanium Special Edition supports satellite communication. At the same time, due to the current price increase of upstream materials chips and memory, the original price segment is difficult to maintain.

The news of chip price increase is still relatively reliable, and the high-end flagships of other manufacturers have also been exposed to the news of imminent price increases. Lei Jun also said at the Xiaomi 14 series press conference that he hopes to make better mobile phones in the future, and the follow-up products will no longer be stuck in the 3999 yuan price segment, and Xiaomi 14 will become the last Xiaomi digital flagship that starts at 3999 yuan.

Because the AI function also has a relatively large memory requirement,So this time there should be no more 8GB memory,The whole system12GB memory starts,The estimated price starts at 4599 yuan,Compared with Xiaomi 14 12GB+256GB 4299 yuan, the price increase is about 300 yuan。

3 Screen Upgrades

A brief comment: The standard version will also add ultrasonic fingerprints, but the overall upgrade may not be obvious

According to the current exposure news, the Xiaomi 15 standard version will use a 6.36-inch 1.5K OLED straight screen, the black edge of the screen will be further narrowed, and the screen brightness and eye protection will have innovative performance. It is reported that the standard version will also be changed to ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking, to be honest, it is indeed a bit undesirable for the high-end flagship series to use short throw.

Xiaomi 15 Pro, on the other hand, uses a 6.7-inch 2K and other deep slightly curved screens, and the black edges may also continue to narrow, which will have the effect of a floating screen in terms of vision.

Compared with other configuration upgrades,Xiaomi 14 series has done a good job in screen configuration,Xiaomi 15 series upgrades in this regard should not be too big,But users who want to buy a small-screen flagship may only have 15 standard version worth choosing。

4 Image Upgrades

A brief comment: 15 Pro has a high probability of adding a periscope telephoto to make up for the shortcomings of the image

Xiaomi 15 ProThe image configuration has been exposed,50MpLarge bottom main camera+50MpUltra wide angle+50MpPeriscope telephoto,It is rumored on the Internet that this telephoto will be SonyIMX882,Using1/1.95Inch sensor size,The size of each pixel has reached0.8Micron,At present, there are some models on the market that use it as the main camera。

The previous generation Xiaomi 14 Pro was complained about by rice fans without a periscope telephoto, after all, the price is quite "flagship", and this upgrade should satisfy mobile photography enthusiasts.

As for the Xiaomi 15 standard version, there is a high probability that there is still no periscope telephoto lens, but the high-quality main camera digital cropping is enough for ordinary users.

5 Summary

Finally, to summarize briefly,For the vast majority of users,Take advantage of the discount to buy Xiaomi 14Standard EditionAbsolutely enough,Short focus fingerprint、No periscope telephoto These shortcomings are almost impossible for ordinary users to experience,This is already a rare all-round small-screen flagship on the market,Xiaomi 15There is a high probability that there will be another wave of price drops one or two months before the release of the series。

The Xiaomi 15 series makes up for the shortcomings of the previous generation, but the price has also been increased, and if the budget is very sufficient, you can go directly to the 15 Pro, and you can use it for a few years.
