The Xiaomi 15 was recently unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona and caused quite a stir with its impressive technical specifications and innovative features. In this article, we would like to take you through the most important highlights of the device and give you an outlook on the price development in the coming months. According to the price experts at Idealo, there is huge potential for savings here! We have taken a closer look at Idealo’s price forecast.
Technical highlights of the Xiaomi 15
The Xiaomi 15 impresses with a range of first-class specifications:
- Display: A 6.36-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 120 hertz ensures smooth visuals.
- Processor: The powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip from Qualcomm powers the device and guarantees outstanding performance.
- Memory: Depending on the variant, 12 or 16 gigabytes of RAM are available, combined with an internal memory of 256 gigabytes up to 1 terabyte.
- Camera: A 50 megapixel triple camera with ultra-wide angle enables high-quality images, complemented by a 32 megapixel front camera for selfies.
- Battery: With a capacity of 5,400 mAh, the battery offers a long battery life for everyday use.
The Idealo price forecast for the Xiaomi 15
The Xiaomi 15 starts in Germany with a recommended retail price (RRP) of 999.90 euros for the smallest storage variant with 256 GB. Based on the price developments of the predecessor models, the following trend can be predicted according to Idealo’s price forecast:
- After 2 months: A first visible price drop could occur. Around May 2025, the price could be around 17% below the RRP, which corresponds to a price of around 830 euros.
- After 5 months: The best time to buy for the time being has probably been reached. According to the forecast, the Xiaomi 15 could be 27 percent cheaper by then, which would correspond to a saving of over 260 euros.
After that, the price curve is expected to stagnate and no further significant price drop will occur. It is therefore unlikely to be worth waiting longer than six months to make a purchase.
What about the Xiaomi 15 Ultra?
As with the previous generation, the Xiaomi 15 will of course also have an Ultra version for enthusiasts. Since the Xiaomi 14 Ultra (Review | € 1,101.43 *) already scored with outstanding performance and a great camera, we can also look forward to a strong piece of smartphone technology in the successor. However, Idealo’s predictions for the Ultra model are not quite as positive as for the standard model.
For the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, which starts with an RRP of around 1,500 euros, the price experts are forecasting a slower price drop. Interested parties should therefore not expect the first savings until early summer. However, if you are quick and also an Amazon Prime customer, you can currently save a lot on the latest flagship to coincide with the market launch.
Conclusion
With its technical highlights, the Xiaomi 15 offers an attractive overall package for smartphone enthusiasts. However, if you are speculating on a lower price, it might be worth waiting a few months before buying in order to benefit from the predicted price reductions.
