A leak from Chinese microblogging site Weibo has revealed the camera specifications of Xiaomi‘s upcoming Pro flagship, the Xiaomi 15 Pro.
OV50K main and IMX882 telephoto
The phone will offer 3x 50MP cameras on the back, just as the Xiaomi 14 Pro. The phone will use the OV50K as the main sensor, IMX882 for 3x telephoto.
The OV50K is said to be a 1″ sensor. In comparison, the Xiaomi 14 Pro offered a slightly smaller 1/1.31″ image sensor. There is not much information available about this sensor. However, the manufacturer has recently launched a smaller (1/1.31″) version of the sensor named the OV50K40, which according to the company, harnesses the capabilities of lateral overflow integration capacitors (LOFIC) to provide the best-in-class single-exposure high dynamic range (HDR) regardless of lighting conditions. It reportedly achieves human eye-level HDR with single exposure in standard mode.
According to the leaker, the telephoto sensor performs comparatively worse than the OV64b when it comes to clarity in digital zooming. However, he notes that the power consumption is very good. The Xiaomi 14 Pro uses a Samsung ISOCELL JN1 sensor for its 3.2x telephoto. Compared to the predecessor, the switching to the telephoto has reportedly improved. The aperture of the telephoto will also play an important role.
According to previous rumors, the Xiaomi 15 Pro will also come with a square-shaped camera module in the upper left corner. However, the flash will be placed outside the camera island. This could be due to a lack of space. In front of the sensors there could also be improved lenses.
On the front, the phone will equip a 2K micro-curved screen. The phone is expected to be launched around mid-October and will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. Although information about the upcoming Xiaomi 15 series is scarce at this point, we will share more as it becomes available.
