Xiaomi continues to tease its first Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered smartphones before their release early next week. While the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro are not ready for primetime just yet, many details about both devices have been posted on social media.

Xiaomi is only a few days away from unveiling the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro. While many smartphone manufacturers would confirm a release date and leave it at, Xiaomi operates in a different manner. As with its recent Redmi Note 14 series release, it continues to share promotional materials for both of its forthcoming flagships on Chinese social media.

To recap, the company shared official renders of both devices earlier this week. Now, Xiaomi has confirmed a few details about the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro while also sharing alleged camera samples taken with both devices. Unsurprisingly, the company advertises the pair as utilising Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, although that much was already known.

Moreover, Xiaomi hopes that its new HyperCore architecture will help the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro surpass its previous flagships like the Xiaomi 14 (curr. $769.50 on Amazon) not just in terms of speed but also in terms of efficiency. Specifically, the company reports that this new architecture will improve app launch speeds and efficiency by up to 45% and 52%, respectively.

Similarly, the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro are said to boast longer battery life, with 23% longer runtimes than its predecessor for the former and 38% for the latter. For reference, Xiaomi has only confirmed the Xiaomi 15 Pro's battery capacity so far, which will sit at an impressive 6,100 mAh. On top of that, the company has installed a reputedly exclusive M9 AMOLED display that will deliver a native 2K resolution with full DC dimming and up to 3,200 nits peak brightness.

Meanwhile, a 5x periscope telephoto is headed to the Xiaomi 15 Pro, too. Allegedly, this new camera boasts 10x lossless digital zoom capabilities thanks to Xiaomi's computational photography algorithm (AISP 2.0). As ever, we would recommend waiting for independent reviews to land before passing judgement in this regard. Unfortunately, it seems that the Xiaomi 15 completely misses out on this new telephoto camera.
