Until the Xiaomi 15 Ultra pops up – which is expected to happen in the first three months of 2025 – the just-unveiled Xiaomi 15 Pro shall hold the championship title in the kingdom of Xiaomi.
Under the hood, the Xiaomi 15 Pro packs a treasure – Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the spiritual (and physical) successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, an outstanding powerhouse.
This high-end chipset includes Qualcomm’s second-generation custom Oryon CPU cores.
The new Oryon CPU core offers a 45% performance boost and 44% improvement in power efficiency. Additionally, the Adreno GPU achieves 40% gains in both performance and efficiency, contributing to an overall system power savings of 27%. The Oryon cores reach a maximum clock speed of 4.32GHz.

The Xiaomi 15 Pro features a 6.73-inch 2K OLED curved display with a 3200 x 1440 resolution, utilizing TCL CSOT’s M9 luminous materials.
What does this mean? Well, TCL CSOT’s M9 luminous materials are a cutting-edge display technology developed by TCL’s China Star Optoelectronics Technology division, designed to enhance the performance of OLED screens.
These materials enable displays to achieve higher brightness levels while maintaining vibrant color reproduction, significantly improving the viewing experience, particularly in bright environments. Additionally, the M9 materials contribute to increased power efficiency.
The dual-layer microcavity emission structure of M9 materials optimizes the emitted light, allowing for better control over luminance and overall visual quality. Furthermore, displays utilizing these materials tend to show improvements in durability and resistance to screen burn-in, a common issue with OLED technology.
Xiaomi claims this display reduces power consumption by 24% compared to its predecessor, the Xiaomi 14 Pro. It supports LTPO adaptive refresh rates between 1-120Hz, plus three-level refresh zoning, allowing for highly efficient power usage. That’s poetry!
The display also includes a 300Hz touch sampling rate, with an instantaneous response rate reaching 2,560Hz, ensuring smooth interactions. It delivers peak brightness up to 3,200 nits and is protected by Xiaomi’s durable Dragon Crystal Glass 2.0, which improves drop resistance, coming from older models.
Users can expect LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage on the Xiaomi 15 Pro: in short, this makes multitasking and data transfer a breeze. For thermal management, the phone integrates a unique wing-shaped circular cooling system, featuring a large heat dissipation area. Xiaomi’s HyperCore microarchitecture scheduler further optimizes overall performance, making the device both powerful and efficient, the company brags.
