Xiaomi 14 Pro

Xiaomi apparently has a deal with Qualcomm to launch the first smartphone with the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. We can only infer that the first two devices powered by this are the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro. According to an X post by a tech contributor, Xiaomi’s release should be followed by OnePlus and iQOO. The OnePlus 12, iQOO 12, Xiaomi 14, and Xiaomi 14 Pro were the first devices powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 upon release in China. We’ve yet to see if this is traditional, but the global releases for the Xiaomi 15, OnePlus 13, and iQOO 13 may trail the Chinese launch by a few weeks. Readers should also keep in mind that the Xiaomi 14 Pro never got a global release. Alongside the grand launch of Xiaomi's first electric vehicle (EV) on Thursday, the Xiaomi SU7, the brand also unveiled limited edition variants of the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro, as well as the Xiaomi Watch S3. Matching the sleek lines of Xiaomi's new car, the limited-edition Aqua Blue and Verdant Green variants of the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro join the existing Jade Green, Black, White, and Snow Pink options.
