The Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro are expected to launch this month as some of the first flagships powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. A recent leak (via Smartprix) reveals the refined back design of the Xiaomi 15 Pro.
The Pro model retains the square camera island design of its predecessor. However, the placement of the flash module outside the camera island suggests there could be an additional camera inside the camera island. The back plate also appears to have flatter edges compared to the Xiaomi 14 Pro
The renders also suggest that the Xiaomi 15 Pro will come in three different colors: Black, White, and Silver. According to a report, Xiaomi will also offer a special Titanium edition.
Apart from that, the Xiaomi logo has a similar placement and size, and the middle frame also retains the same flat design as its predecessor. The LEICA branding is also positioned in the middle of the four circular camera cutouts, the same as last year.
What to expect?
Speaking of cameras, the Xiaomi 15 Pro is expected to offer a 5x periscope telephoto (120mm), a significant upgrade over its predecessor. In this context, the relocation of the flash module suggests the phone could feature two telephoto cameras: a 3x telephoto and a 5x periscope telephoto.
Even if the phone looks somewhat similar to its predecessor, Xiaomi has reportedly adjusted the design and placement of the internals in order to accommodate a much larger battery. Well-known tipster Digital Chat Station previously claimed that the phone packs a 6000mAh silicon anode battery, a significant upgrade over the 4880 mAh capacity of the Xiaomi 14 Pro.
For those unfamiliar, silicon anode batteries offer significantly higher energy density than traditional graphite-anode batteries, making it easier to fit more capacity within a compact volume.
The entire Xiaomi 15 series is also rumored to offer a higher peak brightness with better color reproduction thanks to a new display material.
Comparison of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 with last year’s chipset also suggests a significant improvement in performance for the Xiaomi 15 series.
