The Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro have shown up on the IMEI database. The listing indicates that there will be a titanium version of the Xiaomi 15 Pro featuring satellite connectivity, likely exclusive to its home market.
Camera System Enhancements
Weibo tipster “Smart Pikachu” recently provided insights into the camera system of the Xiaomi 15 series. He suggests that Xiaomi might include a full-focal-length large-aperture main camera in its upcoming flagship series. The series will feature enhanced lenses, supporting photosensitive macro photography, flash shooting, and full-focal length master portraits. Additionally, it may include a new OmniVision sensor.
The tipster also mentioned “There are ceramics,” hinting at a variant with a ceramic back. Furthermore, the phrase “Want an inch, wait for ultra” indicates that a 1″ sensor will be exclusive to the Ultra model, which will be released separately from the standard and Pro variants. For context, the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro were launched in October, four months prior to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
Additional Features and Specifications
Other leaks suggest that the company might introduce an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner in the series, providing a larger unlocking area and more reliable performance in various conditions, including wet environments. Additionally, the series is expected to be among the first to feature Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 flagship chipset. The standard model is anticipated to have a flat 1.5K display, flat sides, and slightly faster 100W fast charging support, up from 90W. The Xiaomi 15 Pro may offer a higher 2K display with a quad-curved design and a 5000mAh battery, an upgrade from the 4880mAh battery in the 14 Pro.
