In a post on X (formerly Twitter), tipster Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) suggested that Xiaomi 15 may be equipped with a 6.36-inch flat AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz. For optics, the handset may sport a Leica triple rear camera setup, comprising a 50-megapixel camera with OmniVision OV50H sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens, and a 50-megapixel 3.2x telephoto camera.

The purported Xiaomi 15 may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset that is expected to be launched at the Snapdragon Summit held in Hawaii next week. It could run on HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15 — the latest operating system (OS) for Android devices.
