Xiaomi 15 Pro Launch: New 120mm Periscope Camera Revealed

The Xiaomi 15 is not the only high-end phone that Xiaomi has shown off today. True to their pattern, Xiaomi plans to launch a bigger Pro version during the same event. Just to note, the anticipated Xiaomi 15 Ultra is likely not going to be officially announced until the first quarter of 2025.

Size and Weight

The Xiaomi 15 Pro will be bigger than the Xiaomi 15, but it will still have a smaller size compared to the current Xiaomi 14 Pro. Xiaomi claims that this new Pro model will weigh just 213 g, which makes it lighter than other flagship phones like the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S24 Ultra (currently listed at $1,092.23 on Amazon) by about 16 to 20 grams.

Design Features

Additionally, the Xiaomi 15 Pro is reported to be 8.35 mm thick, not counting its camera housing, which means it’s just a tad thicker than the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Similar to the smaller Xiaomi 15, the 15 Pro features slim bezels, a matte finish on its side frame, three rear cameras, and a LED flash placed next to its large camera module.

In an odd twist, the lower right camera opening appears empty, though there might be some extra functionality that we don’t know about yet. Moreover, the markings on the camera module indicate that Xiaomi has added a 120 mm periscope telephoto lens, which is an upgrade from the 75 mm version found in the Xiaomi 14 Pro. The device will also retain a 14 mm ultra-wide camera, and on October 29, it is expected to introduce what seems to be an f/1.44 aperture main camera.
