The Xiaomi 15 series is expected to be launched in October this year in China. Ahead of the launch, numerous rumors have revealed the design and specifications of the device. The latest one reaffirms the camera specifications of the Xiaomi 15 Pro.
A periscope telephoto and a slightly different aperture value
According to the leak, the phone will come with three 50MP cameras on the back. The main camera will offer a variable aperture of f/1.4-f/2.5, which is different from the f/1.4-f/4.0 variable aperture of the Xiaomi 14 Pro. This means the aperture won’t close as much as it did on the predecessor.
According to previous rumors, the camera system of the pro model will include a periscope telephoto. In addition to that, there will likely be a 50MP ultrawide camera. The light intake of the telephoto lens is reportedly improved compared to its predecessor, which is likely to enhance the image quality of the telephoto lens.
Xiaomi 15 Pro will reportedly use the OV50K as its main sensor. This is said to be the most powerful image sensor from OmniVision and has a reasonably good dynamic range. The OV50K image sensor offers a pixel size of 1.2-micron and a sensor size of 1/1.3″. It also boasts high gain and correlated multi-sampling (CMS) functions, which are likely to help in low-light conditions. It supports 120 fps output and 60 fps in HDR. The phone also supports a variable aperture, which gives it the ability to adjust the light intake based on the situation.
The periscope telephoto is reported to use a Sony IMX8 series sensor and supports 5x optical zoom. It is worth noting that the Xiaomi 15 Pro is also equipped with a Leica Summilux lens. This optical solution is expected to contribute to the clarity of the final output.
