Revolutionary Color Options
Xiaomi has structured its color offerings into three distinct categories. The standard lineup includes five colors: White, Black, Green, Purple, and a special Liquid Silver Edition inspired by the Mi 6 Mercury Silver Edition. The Diamond Limited Edition introduces three exclusive colors (White, Gray, and Orange) featuring an eco-cultivated 57-facet diamond embedded in the side and a nano-tech vegan leather back panel. The most innovative offering is the Custom Edition, which provides 20 base colors that can be paired with either silver or black frames, creating 40 possible combinations.

Camera System
The photography capabilities of the Xiaomi 15 are equally impressive, featuring a triple 50MP camera system. This includes a primary sensor, an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a periscope telephoto shooter with 3x optical zoom. The camera system benefits from Leica optics, enhancing the device's photography credentials. For selfies, the phone incorporates a 32MP front-facing camera.
Market Impact and Availability
While this extensive color palette marks a significant innovation in smartphone design customization, Xiaomi has indicated that not all color variants will be available globally. The Custom Edition will be exclusive to Xiaomi's official online store in mainland China, with standard colors likely to see wider international distribution. This strategic approach to color availability may create unique market dynamics and potentially influence future smartphone design trends across the industry.
