Earlier, news broke that the Xiaomi MIX 5 will come with improved cameras. It may bring Leica-powered sensors. The device is rumored to come with a 48MP front-facing camera. It is expected to have a 50MP OIS lens, a 48MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 48MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom.

Other details of the MIX 5 are yet to be known. But what we do know, is that the MIX 5 will be accompanied by the MIX 5 Pro. Interestingly, the Xiaomi MIX 5 Pro could have the rumored Surge C2 chipset.

To those unaware, Surge is the company’s self-developed chip that helps in the camera performance of the phone. The last chip was the Surge C1, which was seen in the MIX Fold. Having a successor chip in the MIX 5 Pro will be a good upgrade for the MIX lineup.

Speaking of upgrades, the MIX 5 Pro is expected to bring the same 48MP front-facing camera as the vanilla MIX 5. It is rumored to have a 50MP OIS main lens with a whopping 8192 x 6144 pixels resolution. It will be assisted by a 48MP ultra-wide sensor and a 48MP OIS telephoto lens with a 5x optical zoom feature. This is a slightly better camera setup than the vanilla MIX 5 with the OIS and up to 5x zoom support.
