Xiaomi 15 Pro, which is expected to be part of the company's Xiaomi 15 series, could feature a 1-inch sensor for its main camera. A tipster has revealed the details of the smartphone's rear camera setup, noting that the Chinese smartphone brand could make big changes to the sensors when it launches the successor to the Xiaomi 14 series later this year. Apart from the cameras, the Xiaomi 15 Pro is also reported to be the first phone equipped with the yet-to-be-released Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chips.

The OmniVision sensor hasn't been officially released yet, but it's rumored to be an upgrade over the existing OV50H, which features in the iQOO 12 series and the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra. Notably, the Xiaomi 13 Pro came with a 1-inch sensor, but with its successor, the smartphone maker ditched it in favor of a Light Hunter 900 sensor with a custom Leica Summilux lens.
The Xiaomi 15 Pro's telephoto lens is also due for an upgrade. According to the tipster, it could have a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 sensor, replacing the Samsung ISOCELL JN1. In the post, the source claims that the resolution of the Sony sensor is slightly below, but in terms of power consumption and technical specifications, it offers good value. The publication also added that overall performance will depend on the size of the aperture, which is currently unknown.
While no details are known about the wide-angle camera sensor, it is also said to be a 50-megapixel shooter.
