Xiaomi 15 Pro to come with 1″-type main camera

Xiaomi 14 Pro was launched in October 2023 in China, but sadly remained exclusive to its domestic market and didn’t join its siblings on their global tour. We are now hearing that its successor is bringing an improvement for the 50 MP triple camera setup.

One source revealed that the Xiaomi 15 Pro will still have 50 MP sensors but they will be different ones in the main and telephoto shooters.

The 50 MP main camera will move to a 1″-type OmniVision sensor – OV50K – a notable improvement over the OVX9000 inside the 14 Pro.

The OV50K variation is not yet officially launched by the US-Taiwanese imaging company, but we it should come the succeed the already impressive OV50H we’ve seen in the Honor Magic6 Pro, vivo iQOO 12 series and Motorola Edge 50 Ultra.

The telephoto shooter will be powered by Sony IMX882, which is a step forward from the dated Samsung ISOCELL JN1. The 1/1.95″ Sony imager is considerably bigger than the 1/2.76″ Samsung sensor.

Those upgrades should result in a really capable camera setup on the Xiaomi 15 Pro and we should hope this one goes international so we can put it through its paces.
