Xiaomi 15 Pro might have a periscope zoom camera

According to the latest report by the prolific leakster who goes by Digital Chat Station over on Weibo, Xiaomi’s 15 Pro might have a periscope zoom camera. So far, these have been confined to Xiaomi’s Ultra hyper-flagships, but there’s apparently a chance the tech will trickle down to the Pro this time around.

The Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro are allegedly going to be the first devices powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC, when they launch in mid-October.

The design of the camera module of the Xiaomi 15 Pro is said to be a rectangle with rounded corners, placed around the top left of the device’s rear. That sounds like it will be very similar to the design employed by the Xiaomi 14 Pro. The only difference will be the LED flash array, which will be relocated to the outside of the camera island, in order to make room for that periscope we assume.

All three cameras on the 15 Pro will have 50 MP resolution according to the same source. Interestingly, the Samsung ISOCELL JN1 sensor won’t be used at all, despite the fact that the 14 Pro used it for both its ultrawide and telephoto cameras.

The Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro could sport ultrasonic fingerprint sensors, a previous rumor claimed. Digital Chat Station now says a final decision hasn’t been made on this matter yet.
