Xiaomi 15 Pro Camera Specifications Leaked
According to a after On Weibo by tipster Experience More, the Xiaomi 15 Pro could sport a triple rear camera setup like its predecessor, but the sensors could get an upgrade. The tipster claims that the primary camera could be a 50-megapixel OV50K with a 1-inch sensor.
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 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.
