Xiaomi 15 is expected to launch later this year as part of the purported Xiaomi 15 series of smartphones. The handsets are expected to succeed the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro, which were first launched in China in October 2023 with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and were the first phones to launch with Xiaomi’s HyperOS skin. The Xiaomi 15 lineup is likely to come with considerable upgrades over the current handsets. A tipster has suggested a few key features that the base Xiaomi 15 may launch with, including, chipset, display and camera specifications among other details.

For optics, the Xiaomi 15 is said to feature a 50-megapixel 1/1.3-inch primary rear sensor alongside a 50-megapixel sensor paired with an ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel telephoto shooter with up to 3x optical zoom.
