Xiaomi is about to launch a series of new products in the next few months. The Xiaomi 15 series, successors to the current lineup of Xiaomi 14 also garnered much attention. Reliable tipster Lu Weibing of Xiaomi’s latest flagship models will be driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC and he hinted at the same in one of his posts on Weibo before.

Leaks About the Xiaomi 15 Series and Xiaomi 14T Pro

In another development, the company is also tipped to be working on its Xiaomi 14T series which might arrive this month following the timeline of last year’s launch for Xiaomi 13T. Now, an online leak gives us a look at the design of the Xiaomi 14T in full for practically another year.

The Xiaomi 13 series was the first to launch with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in January this year and it seems its new flagships will take a similar spot as one of the pioneers for the freshly announced SD820. Xiaomi claims that the new phones to be launched will bring three-fold advantages: ultra-high clock speed, exceptional performance, and low power consumption — all this supported by Xiaomi system kernel optimization.

These remarks from Lu Weibing likely refer to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which could signal a major change for chips. The chipset from Qualcomm is officially scheduled to be announced on October 21 as part of its Snapdragon Summit. The new Snapdragon 8 Gen is expected to be launched in December, is also said to offer a whole new custom Oryon cores architecture that will deliver large improvements not just energy efficiency but performance too. However, it is expected to be 20% more expensive than its predecessor, potentially affecting the flagship phone prices.

The Xiaomi 14T Pro, a successor to the Xiaomi 13T Pro, is also on the horizon. Recent renders show its updated design, including a new camera layout with triple sensors and an LED flash, housed in a square module with Leica branding. The phone is expected to feature a 6.67-inch 1.5K display with a 144Hz refresh rate and be powered by the Dimensity 9300+ SoC, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The Xiaomi 14T Pro may come with a 5000mAh battery and Leica VARIO-SUMMILUX lenses. It is projected to be priced at approximately €899 (around Rs 83,500) for the 12GB/512GB variant.
