According to the early prototype of the Xiaomi 15 Pro, the telephoto lens may adopt periscope technology similar to ultra flagships like Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
Reportedly, Xiaomi is working on the Xiaomi 15 series, which will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. Recently, tipster Digital Chat Station shared some information about the camera system of Xiaomi 15 Pro. Unlike current Xiaomi flagships with the flash module inside the camera island, the upcoming Pro flagship may have the flash module placed outside the camera module. This could imply the use of even larger sensors for the upcoming flagship. Here, we provide detailed information about the Xiaomi 15 series.
The camera system of Xiaomi 14 Pro includes triple 50-megapixel cameras: OmniVision Lite Hunter 900 primary camera (1/1.31″), Samsung JN1 (1/2.76″) for 75mm telephoto, which focuses on objects as close as 10cm, and another 14mm ultrawide. However, the tipster suggests that Xiaomi 15 Pro will not use the Samsung JN1. The size and placement of the camera module will reportedly remain the same, but the camera island may be raised with larger sensors. Additionally, according to the early prototype of Xiaomi 15 Pro, the telephoto lens may adopt periscope technology, similar to ultra flagships like Xiaomi 14 Ultra. The Xiaomi 15 Pro is also rumored to feature a 2K micro-curved screen, similar in size to the Xiaomi 14 Pro.
The current Pro variant is equipped with the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, a 6.73″ slightly curved 2K panel offering 3000 nits of peak brightness, a 4880mAh battery with 120W charging and 50W wireless charging, and Xiaomi’s new HyperOS. With the new chip, the Xiaomi 15 series is expected to be launched soon. The 2024 Snapdragon Summit may be held in October.
