Xiaomi is expected to unveil the Xiaomi 15 series of smartphones in October of this year in China. With several months remaining before the launch, the rumor mill is gradually leaking details about the Xiaomi 15 lineup. The latest leak, courtesy of reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, reveals that the 15 Pro will offer a major upgrade in the optical zoom department.
Xiaomi 15 Pro may feature a new periscope telephoto camera
According to the tipster, Xiaomi is switching to a periscope telephoto lens with the IMX8 sensor, offering 5x optical zoom on the engineering prototype of the Xiaomi 15 Pro. He added that it will support the latest AI super-resolution algorithms.
To recall, the Xiaomi 14 Pro does not feature a periscope telephoto camera. It has a 50-megapixel Samsung S5KJN1 telephoto camera that offers a 3.2x optical zoom. Hence, the 15 Pro is expected to deliver significantly better zoom capabilities.
A previous leak by the tipster revealed that the Xiaomi 15 Pro will have a 50-megapixel main camera. It could potentially feature the OV50K OmniVision 50-megapixel primary camera.
While the previous model supported variable aperture for its primary camera, we expect the 15 Pro to not support it. The rumor mill is yet to leak the details of the 15 Pro’s ultra-wide camera. It is likely that it will continue to feature a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens, like the 14 Pro.
As per other reports, the Xiaomi 15 Pro will have a 6.73-inch micro-curved OLED panel that offers a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4-powered smartphone packs a 5,400mAh battery with 120W fast charging.
