Recent leaks surrounding Xiaomi‘s upcoming 15 series suggest notable advancements in camera technology, particularly for the Xiaomi 15 Pro and Xiaomi 15 Ultra models. According to sources, the Xiaomi 15 Pro is poised to inherit the impressive zoom capabilities of its predecessor, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, marking a substantial leap in performance for the upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
While the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is still several months away from release, early prototype testing has reportedly commenced within Xiaomi’s research facilities, as confirmed by prominent Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo. The leaker’s recent post underscores speculation that Xiaomi is exploring enhancements, possibly including a collaboration with Leica for the flagship model of the Xiaomi 15 series. Notably, recent reports indicate that the Xiaomi 15 Pro may feature a periscope telephoto lens with up to 5x optical zoom, surpassing earlier expectations of 3x zoom capabilities.
It is important to note that these details remain unofficial and should be approached with caution, although insights from Digital Chat Station are generally considered reliable within the tech community. The leaker appears to have access to information regarding an early test device of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, emphasizing potential improvements, particularly in the dual telephoto setup. Sources suggest a significant advancement is anticipated, described as a “super improvement.”
Speculation on potential upgrades includes considerations such as increased megapixel counts, possibly aligning with developments seen in competitors like the Vivo X100 Ultra and the Honor Magic 7 Pro. Moreover, discussions point to the potential for larger sensors in both telephoto cameras, currently set at 75mm and 120mm, which would mark a notable evolution compared to Xiaomi’s previous offerings.
Recent entries in the IMEI database further indicate preparations for a global release of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, adding to the anticipation surrounding Xiaomi’s next flagship series.
