Xiaomi is reportedly gearing up to take its latest flagship phones global after a few certifications.
The Xiaomi 15 was spotted moving through the US FCC certification database. 91 mobiles (via Android Headlines). The listing states that the device in question has model number 24129PN74G in preparation for a US launch. Moreover, the Chinese OEM has provided some “remarks” about the upcoming device.
According to Xiaomi’s filing, the company has submitted two EUT (End User Testing) devices to the FCC with different RAM/storage configurations. One configuration is with 12/256GB and the other with 12/512GB. Elsewhere, the listing details the existence of HyperOS 2.0 installed on the device.
The post adds that the Xiaomi 15 in the US will likely support several Bluetooth connectivity types, NFC, wireless power transfer, and GNSS. Its Wi-Fi bands will support 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 5GHz per database.

You may recall that the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro were launched at the end of October. These devices hit the Chinese market as the first commercial phones to sport Qualcomm’s souped-up Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Interestingly, the launch details have left out one important aspect: the possibility of a global launch. Despite Xiaomi’s appearance during Qualcomm’s summit a few weeks before the phone’s launch, we were left in the dark.
During the keynote, SVP and President of Xiaomi, Adam Zeng, discussed what people can expect from the company moving forward. Among them was the Xiaomi 15 series, which Zeng said would be the “first” phones to sport the 8 Elite “globally”. Now, while that’s not quite the case — we got the Nubia Z70 Ultra first — Zeng detailed the chip’s performance with its HyperCore technology.
The Xiaomi 15 series reportedly benefits from a 29.7% reduction in power consumption and even cooler peak temperatures.
The launch date is still unknown, but the Xiaomi 15 could debut sometime in early 2025 without the China Pro model. That assumption comes from the FCC’s listed RAM/storage configurations, which are notably lower than the Pro’s 16GB+1TB setup. That’s what the rumors say, so we’ll have to see what happens officially in the future.
