    Xiaomi 15 Pro: Potential for External Flash, Larger Sensors

    The forthcoming Xiaomi 15 series is anticipated to debut as the first flagship featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. Recently, a credible source, Digital Chat Station, disclosed details regarding the camera setup of the Xiaomi 15 Pro model.

    Changes in Camera Module Placement

    The current Xiaomi flagship integrates the flash module within the camera island; however, the upcoming Pro flagship is poised to deviate from this design. As per the tipster, the flash module will be positioned outside the camera module, potentially hinting at the inclusion of even larger sensors in the upcoming flagship.

    Camera System Upgrades

    The Xiaomi 14 Pro boasts a camera system comprising triple 50MP cameras, with the main camera being the OmniVision Light Hunter 900 (1/1.31″), a Samsung JN1 (1/2.76″) for the 75mm telephoto capable of focusing on objects as near as 10cm, and a 14mm ultrawide lens. The tipster suggests that the Xiaomi 15 Pro will opt for a different sensor in place of the Samsung JN1, likely a slightly larger one. Although the shape and placement of the camera module are expected to remain unchanged, the protrusion of the camera island might increase due to the larger sensor.

    Enhanced Features

    An early prototype of the Xiaomi 15 Pro hints at the adoption of periscope technology for the telephoto lens, akin to the Ultra flagships like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. Additionally, the Xiaomi 15 Pro is rumored to feature a 2K micro-curved screen similar in size to that of the Xiaomi 14 Pro.

    The current Pro flagship boasts a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, a 6.73″ slightly curved 2K display with peak brightness of 3000 nits, a 4880 mAh battery supporting 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, along with Xiaomi's new HyperOS.

    The Xiaomi 15 series is expected to be launched shortly after the debut of the new chip. The 2024 Snapdragon Summit might be scheduled for October.
