While a lot could still change until then, it’s worth noting that the Xiaomi 14 was announced in October 2023. This could mean the Xiaomi 15 will likely arrive at the same time if the tentative unveiling goes through some hoops.

Readers should also note that the initial launch is likely going to be exclusive for the Chinese market. This has been the scenario for the company’s flagships for quite some time, like how the Xiaomi 14 made its international debut in February at MWC 2024.
