Xiaomi has announced the highly anticipated Xiaomi 15 Series at the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2025) in Barcelona, featuring cutting-edge AI capabilities and the latest HyperOS 2 operating system. The Chinese tech giant partnered with Google to integrate the Gemini AI chatbot into its first-party apps, marking a significant leap in AI-powered mobile technology.
Gemini AI Integration in Xiaomi 15 Series
The standout feature of the Xiaomi 15 Series is the integration of Google’s Gemini AI within first-party apps like Xiaomi Notes, Xiaomi Calendar, and Xiaomi Clock. This partnership marks the first time Xiaomi is allowing a third-party AI service to access its apps.
With Gemini AI, users can now:
- Create new notes in Xiaomi Notes
- Set reminders and alarms in Xiaomi Clock
- Schedule calendar events in Xiaomi Calendar
However, it remains unclear if Gemini AI will support editing or deleting actions within these apps. Xiaomi highlighted that the availability of this feature will depend on the device model, region, and language settings. An active internet connection will be required for these AI-based features.
