Xiaomi’s latest flagship, the , has been making waves in China since its release last month. Although the company has yet to confirm a global launch date, a recent Geekbench listing for the global variant, identified as “24129PN74G”, indicates the device is already undergoing testing. A March release is anticipated, according to an interview with a Xiaomi executive in India, likely aligning with a wider international rollout.
Performance Testing and AI CapabilitiesThe Geekbench listing shows that the Xiaomi 15 global model was tested specifically in the AI section, giving insight into the device’s AI-focused capabilities. However, the results so far are inconsistent, and it’s premature to draw comparisons between the Xiaomi 15’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 used in the Xiaomi 14. The current tests were limited to the CPU, rather than the GPU or NPU the latter of which are more relevant to AI-driven tasks.
Specs and OS DetailsBeyond the benchmarks, the listing confirms that the global variant of the Xiaomi 15 will start with 12GB of RAM as the base model. It will run Android 15 out of the box, layered with HyperOS 2.0 for a refined user experience. These details align with expectations for Xiaomi’s premium lineup and suggest a solid performance foundation.
What’s Next? Waiting on Pricing and LaunchWith Xiaomi’s flagship device now in testing, the global launch seems closer than ever. While the core specifications are promising, the biggest remaining question is the price something we’ll likely have to wait for until Xiaomi’s official announcement early next year.
