Xiaomi 15 Pro in the works with a large 6,000 mAh battery

July 23, 2024

As Xiaomi’s launch event is closing in on us, we started hearing more about what the company plans to offer this year. We already have decent information on the regular Xiaomi 15. Now, bubbles are beginning to form around the Pro model too! So, let’s look at all the rumours and talks surrounding the Xiaomi 15 Pro to date.

Xiaomi 15 Pro Rumours Round-up

Battery and Charging

The latest news on the phone comes about its battery. As per Digital Chat Station — one of the most active and trusted leakers, Xiaomi is testing its upcoming phone with a larger battery. 6,000 mAh large to be more specific. If this turns out to be true, this will be a nearly 23% jump from the 4,880 mAh we got on the Xiaomi 14 Pro! In the same Weibo post, the leaker also mentioned that the charging speed would be 90W, which is a massive cut from the 120W on the previous model.

This new information is quite a step away from what they previously said. Formerly, they reported that the Xiaomi 15 Pro would come with a 5,400 mAh battery and 100W charging support. Which sounds about alright apart from one tiny detail. The testing was supposedly done with a silicon anode battery, which is a similar type of battery tech we see on Honor phones. Using silicon in the battery allows it to yield a higher power density which results in more compact cell sizes.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4

It is pretty obvious at this point that the Xiaomi 15 Pro will ship with the upcoming Qualcomm processor. Rumours are brewing about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 as well. So far, we’ve heard that this chipset will have two prime cores and six performance cores. However, due to some complications, the American foundry might throw in two efficiency cores to balance things out. Only time will tell.

What else?

There are some whispers about the design going on. The Xiaomi 15 Pro will apparently come with a 2.5D curved AMOLED panel that measures 6.73 inches in size. Furthermore, the screen will have a 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The company introduced a titanium frame in last year’s model, so we can expect it to remain unchanged. But, the phone is reportedly going up in the dust and water resistance department with an IP69 rating.

Additionally, the upcoming Xiaomi phone is said to have a triple 50MP rear camera setup — similar to its base variant. However, the Pro model is in talks to be touted with an OmniVision OV50K and a Sony IMX8-series sensors for its primary and telephoto shooters respectively. Furthermore, sources are expecting the latter to be capable of 5x optical zoom.

Xiaomi 15 Pro Launch and Availability

Xiaomi will obviously launch the 15 Pro alongside the regular model, which will supposedly launch sometime in October. In the meantime, this phone had a rather limited international presence, sadly that might be the case for this year too.
