Xiaomi 15 series is expected to be one of the first Android flagships to adopt the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. According to previous rumors, the series will launch towards the end of the year in China.
In the latest news, Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed some of the key specifications of the Xiaomi 15 Pro. According to him, the phone will come with a 2K micro-curved screen. He also claims that the Xiaomi 15 series will finally switch from an optical fingerprint scanner to an ultrasonic one, which generally offers faster and more reliable unlocking speeds.
Speaking of cameras, there will be a 50MP main sensor underneath a large aperture. However, he notes that the aperture won’t be a variable one, just like the Xiaomi 14. Notably, the Xiaomi 14 Pro from last year offers a variable aperture of f/1.4-f/4.0. He adds that there will be a 50MP 3x telephoto camera.
Although DCS didn’t reveal anything about a third camera, you can expect another 50MP sensor for the ultrawide. A previous rumor from earlier this month claims that the Xiaomi 15 Pro will boast a similar 50MP triple camera setup where the OmniVision OV50K and IMX882 will be used as the main and the 3x telephoto sensor respectively.
DCS also claimed that the phone will be equipped with a silicon-carbon negative electrode battery. A silicon-carbon negative electrode battery is a lithium-ion battery that uses silicon as the material for its negative electrode. Silicon is a promising material for this purpose because it has several advantages over graphite, the material currently used in most lithium-ion batteries. One of the advantages of using silicon is its higher energy density. The tipster also hinted that the phone will have a larger battery capacity. Previously, it was reported that the phone will come with a 5,500 mAh battery and will weigh less than 200g.
