The OmniVision sensor has not yet been officially launched but is rumoured to be an upgrade over the existing OV50H, which features in the iQOO 12 series and 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 favour of a Light Hunter 900 sensor with a custom Leica Summilux lens.
Xiaomi 15 Pro's telephoto lens is also tipped to get an upgrade. As per the tipster, it could sport a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 sensor, replacing the Samsung ISOCELL JN1. In the post, the source claims that the Sony sensor's resolution is slightly under par, but in terms of power consumption and technical specifications, it offers good value. The post also added that the overall performance will be dependent on the aperture size, which is currently not known.
While no details are known about the ultra-wide-angle camera's sensor, it is also said to be a 50-megapixel shooter.
