A launch date for Xiaomi’s 15 series smartphone has been officially announced. According to the company’s official India X (formerly Twitter) account, the new flagships will be available in India next month.
Xiaomi 15 series will be launched globally on March 2nd, 2025. Xiaomi’s X post now confirms that the Indian launch will take place on the same day. A simultaneous release is in line with the company’s past strategy.
The company is expected to release both the standard Xiaomi 15 and the top-tier Xiaomi 15 Ultra. However, the 15 Pro will likely remain exclusive to China.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra:
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra will sport a 6.73-inch QHD+ C8 12-bit AMOLED quad-curved LTPO display. It has a 120Hz refresh rate and a 480Hz touch sampling rate. The display also supports HDR10+ and has Xiaomi Shield Glass 2.0 protection. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8 EliteSoC coupled with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.
