The OmniVision sensor hasn’t officially launched yet, but it’s rumoured to be an upgrade over the existing OV50H that’s found in the iQOO 12-series and Motorola Edge 50 Ultra. Notably, the Xiaomi 13 Pro came with a 1-inch sensor, but with its successor, the smartphone maker has ditched it in favor of a Light Hunter 900 sensor with a custom Leica Summilux lens.
The Xiaomi 15 Pro’s telephoto lens is also expected to get an upgrade. According to the tipster, it could feature a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 sensor, replacing the Samsung ISOCELL JN1. In the report, the source claims that the Sony sensor’s resolution will be slightly below par but that it offers good value for money in terms of power consumption and specs. The report also added that the overall performance will depend on the aperture size, which is currently unknown.
There are no details yet about the ultra-wide camera’s sensor, but it is said to be a 50-megapixel camera.
