Xiaomi is gearing up for the launch of a new device, recently registered with China’s 3C safety regulator, as revealed by the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station. This device, codenamed 24129PN74C, will support 5G connectivity and be compatible with Xiaomi’s aging MDY-14 90W power adapter.
Fans awaiting the next Xiaomi flagship might find this somewhat underwhelming, especially since this device is purportedly the successor to the Xiaomi 14. This dampens earlier hopes that the “15” model would feature significantly upgraded wired charging capabilities. Despite this, improvements in battery size are expected for the Xiaomi 15, yet the charging speed might not see any boost.
Adding to the intrigue, another cryptic post from Digital Chat Station on Weibo hints at some interesting battery specifications. The post mentions a dual-cell 2,980mAh battery with a rated capacity of 5,960mAh and a typical capacity of 6,100mAh. While the “120W” charging speed, similar to that of the 14 Pro, is also suggested, it could potentially apply to the Xiaomi 15’s Pro variant.
In summary, while the Xiaomi 15 series might not revolutionize charging speeds, it is poised to bring substantial improvements in battery capacity, maintaining Xiaomi’s momentum in the competitive smartphone market.
