Qualcomm has officially announced that the new generation of Snapdragon flagship mobile platform will be released at the Snapdragon Summit on October 22-24. In other words, in another half a month or so, the Xiaomi 15 series will come.
But as the saying goes-
"Xiaomi 15 is coming out, Xiaomi 14 is bound to drop in price, then Xiaomi 13 will usher in a big dive, at this time the price of Xiaomi 12 will come to the freezing point, causing Xiaomi 11 to become the price of cabbage, prompting the price of Xiaomi 10 to fall to the bottom, and at the same time Xiaomi 9 will definitely follow, so that Xiaomi 8 is directly invincible in terms of cost performance, and at this time, it is a good time for me to buy Xiaomi 6!"
Before the release of the new machine, some of the old models have already begun to reduce the price. For example, Xiaomi 14, the machine is currently on a third-party platform, and the price of the top version 16GB+1TB is 3888 yuan, which is 1111 yuan lower than the original price of 4999 yuan. (Other versions also have varying degrees of price reduction)
Although the Xiaomi 14 has been released for a year, its configuration is still outdated, with a 6.36-inch 1.5K small straight screen, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, Light Hunter 900, telephoto macro, 90W+50W dual fast charging, IP68 dust and water resistance, USB 3.2......
And judging from the existing leaks, the main upgrades of the Xiaomi 15 are the Snapdragon 8 Ultra, a 5200mAh battery, and an ultrasonic fingerprint, but the price may increase. For the small screen party, if you don't care much about the above upgrades, then the Xiaomi 14 is still a cost-effective choice.
There is also Xiaomi 14 Ultra, the machine is currently on a third-party platform, and the price of the 12GB+256GB version is around 5123 yuan, which is 1300+ lower than the original price of 6499 yuan at the beginning of the listing. (The sub-top 16GB+512GB version is around 5450 yuan)
The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra is the imaging flagship, equipped with a 1-inch LYT-900 main camera + IMX858 75mm vertical telephoto, 120mm periscope telephoto, and ultra-wide angle, which will still be the most photogenic Xiaomi device until the release of the 15 Ultra next spring.
The Redmi Turbo 3 launched in April this year has also been reduced in price, and the price of the 12GB+256GB third-party platform is around 1479 yuan. The initial price of this mobile phone is 1999 yuan, which is a bit inflated to be honest, and now this price seems to be obviously much more reasonable.
The core selling point of the Redmi turbo 3 is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which is slightly stronger than the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 in the same period, as well as a thinner body of 7.8mm and a lighter weight of 179g.
Not only Xiaomi, but also brands such as OPPO, vivo, and OnePlus are expected to launch new flagships this month, and the corresponding old flagships will definitely be reduced in price by then. In short, if you have a plan to replace your phone recently, you can pay more attention to the price reduction of the old model while paying attention to the dynamics of the new machine.
