Xiaomi 15 Pro to deliver one negative & one positive change

Based on the latest information, the Xiaomi 15 Pro will deliver one negative and one positive change. This information comes from Digital Chat Station, by the way, one of the most reliable tipsters out there.

He shared some information about the device via Weibo, a Chinese social media network. He confirmed that the phone will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC. That much was a given.

The Xiaomi 15 Pro will deliver one negative & one positive change, amongst other things

In addition to that, the Xiaomi 15 Pro is said to include a 2K micro-curved display. An ultrasonic fingerprint scanner will also be included, which was not the case on the Xiaomi 14 Pro. That phone featured an optical in-display fingerprint scanner.

Now, in the title, we mentioned one negative and one positive change in specific. Well, here they are. The negative one has to do with the phone’s main camera. Xiaomi looks set to ditch the variable aperture, at least on this model. The phone will likely still be able to capture outstanding photos, but… having a variable aperture is useful.

Variable aperture has proven to be quite effective on smartphones, for shooting in various different lighting situations, amongst other things. Well, the Xiaomi 15 Pro is said to offer a large aperture, but a fixed one.

The company will utilize a silicon-carbon battery

In regards to the positive change, Xiaomi looks set to adopt new battery tech. The phone will allegedly use a silicon-carbon negative electrode battery. Thanks mainly to that battery, the Xiaomi 15 Pro is said to include a larger battery, and yet weigh less than 200 grams. It is said to feature a 5,500mAh unit.

The Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro launched back in October last year. They are expected to arrive around the same time this year, if not a bit sooner. The launch event will likely take place in China first yet again.

The Xiaomi 14 Pro didn’t even make it to global markets. The Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra did, but not the ‘Pro’ model. It remains to be seen if that will be the case this time around too.
