Xiaomi's new 15 generation of phones is right around the corner. We already have a full specs sheet for both phones, as well as an announcement date set for October 20. We also have a pretty good idea what the Xiaomi 15 Pro is going to look like, thanks to some early renders.
Now, what seems to be a Xiaomi 15 Pro unit
has been spotted in the wild with the same rear camera arrangements as the
aforementioned renders. One could easily mistake said phone for the Xiaomi 14
Pro, but the distinctive part is the LED flash that is now outside the main
camera island. Besides that, the overall design language seems unchanged from
the Xiaomi 14 Pro. By the way, the person holding the phone in the phone is
Xiaomi Group Vice President Wang Xiaoyan, so everything makes sense.
Speaking of the distinctive new camera
module, most agree that the redesign was necessary to accommodate the new
advanced periscope telephoto camera. It is said to be a 50 MP 5x telemacro unit
with a 30cm minimum focus distance. The main Leica-branded cam is expected to
be a 50 MP main unit with a 1/1.3" sensor and f/1.4 aperture. There is
also a 50MP ultrawide and a 32MP selfie snapper.
The Xiaomi 15 Pro is rumored to come with
a 6.78-inch quad-curved AMOLED panel made by TCL, "2K" resolution,
and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The phone is powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8
Gen 4 SoC, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. The battery
has a 6,000 mAh capacity and supports 90W wired and 80W wireless charging, with
10W reverse wireless. The Xiaomi 15 Pro is expected to come in black, white,
and silver. A special titanium edition will also be available. Xiaomi will
probably offer five major OS updates for the device.
