The new flagship device is codenamed Zhuque. Since the project is at an early stage, it is not yet known how the new product will be controlled. Perhaps Zhuque will use gestures, pressure-sensitive edges, or voice commands.

Late as fuck but as I teased Saturday, new Xiaomi flagship "zhuque" in development for 2025 release. Details in Smartprix article.Zhuque is expected to be powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 4 processor, codenamed SM8775. The same SoC will also be used in Xiaomi 15S Pro, which is expected in the second quarter of 2025. There is no information about the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 4 yet, but it will most likely be based on the new Qryon cores, similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
Xiaomi may show Zhuque in the first half of 2025. By the way, according to rumors, Apple is also developing a smartphone without buttons.
