Xiaomi 15 Pro leak hints at record-thin bezels and advanced features،
Xiaomi recently unveiled its latest Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra globally, and yet rumors about the next generation Xiaomi 15 are already circulating online.
A recent leak from an informant on X (via Android titles) suggests that the Xiaomi 15 Pro could feature the smallest bezels among smartphones, measuring just 0.6mm. The upcoming flagship is also expected to come with advanced features.
Rumors about the Xiaomi 15 Pro:
– Rear camera configuration: OV50K + JN1 + OV50B, with periscope
– Ultrasonic fingerprint
– Satellite communication
– 0.6mm bezel
– Released in October– Nguyen Phi Hung (@negativeonehero) March 4, 2024
Phones like the iPhone 15 and Galaxy S24 series have already minimized bezels, but Xiaomi aims to make them virtually imperceptible. For illustration, the Xiaomi 15 Pro's 0.6mm bezels are less than half the size of the iPhone 15 Pro's 1.5mm bezels. This could result in a truly bezel-free experience, setting the Xiaomi 15 Pro apart from the rest of the smartphone market. THE Xiaomi 14 Pro.
Ultrasonic fingerprint scanners are a new type of fingerprint reader that uses sound waves instead of light to take a 3D image of your fingerprint. This makes them safer and more accurate than traditional fingerprint scanners, which can be fooled by images or molds.
The leak also hinted at the camera technology, suggesting that the phone could come with a periscopic zoom lens. This advancement would significantly expand the camera's zoom capabilities. Why, you ask? Well, regular zoom lenses require physically moving parts that extend further from the phone's body to achieve higher zoom, and since smartphones are thin, they wouldn't have room for such lenses.
Periscopic zoom lenses use a folded design with prisms or mirrors to achieve a similar zoom effect. This folding allows the lens to be positioned laterally within the body of the phone, keeping the phone slim while still enjoying the benefits of a longer zoom lens. In simpler terms, a regular zoom lens needs more room to expand for better zoom, but a periscope lens can bend like a straw to achieve similar zoom power, even when crammed in a slim phone.
Continuing the leak, a notable detail is the addition of satellite communication. Phones are starting to adopt this feature, allowing them to communicate directly with satellites rather than relying solely on ground towers.
Satellite communication is designed to eliminate dead zones and signal loss. Although the leak did not provide details, satellite communication could likely be focused on emergency use, providing a reliable communication option in critical situations.
The Xiaomi 15 Pro is rumored to be announced in October this year. Previous speculation indicates that it could be one of the first phones to feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, which is scheduled for release in the same month, as confirmed by Qualcomm.
