Xiaomi 15 Camera Specs Explained: A Comprehensive Guide


Main Cameras
Wide Camera
The Xiaomi 15 features a 50 MP camera with a wide 23mm lens, offering a large f/1.6 aperture for better low-light performance and a 1/1.31" sensor size for more detailed images. The 1.2µm pixel size allows for greater light sensitivity, while Dual Pixel PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) ensures faster and more accurate focusing. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) helps reduce blurriness from shaky hands, especially in low-light conditions or while shooting video.
Telephoto Camera
The Xiaomi 15 features a 50 MP telephoto lens with a 60mm focal length and an f/2.0 aperture, offering a solid balance between detail and background separation. Its 1/2.76" sensor size and 0.64µm pixel size provide sharp images, while PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) allows focusing from just 10cm to infinity. With Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and 2.6x optical zoom, it enables stable, close-up shots with high clarity, even at longer distances.
Ultrawide Camera
The Xiaomi 15’s 50 MP ultrawide camera has a 14mm focal length and a wide 115° field of view, perfect for capturing expansive landscapes or group shots. With an f/2.2 aperture, it strikes a good balance between detail and light capture, though it may not perform as well in very low light compared to larger apertures. The 1/2.76" sensor and 0.64µm pixels help ensure decent image quality, though it's optimized for wide-angle shots rather than extreme close-ups or low-light conditions.
Features
The Xiaomi 15’s main camera comes equipped with Laser Autofocus (AF) for quick and precise focusing, especially in challenging lighting conditions. It also features a color spectrum sensor for improved color accuracy and a Leica lens for enhanced image quality and sharpness, delivering a professional touch. Additional features include Dual-LED dual-tone flash for better lighting in low-light scenarios, HDR for high dynamic range imaging, and panorama mode for wide, sweeping shots.
Video
The Xiaomi 15 supports impressive video recording options, including 8K at 24/30fps with HDR for ultra-high-definition, cinematic quality. It also offers 4K recording at multiple frame rates (24/30/60fps), with HDR10+, 10-bit Dolby Vision HDR, and 10-bit LOG for advanced color grading and dynamic range. For more versatile shooting, you get 1080p video at up to 960fps for slow-motion shots, as well as 720p at an astonishing 1920fps, with gyro-EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) to keep footage smooth and stable.
Selfie
Selfie Wide Camera
The Xiaomi 15 features a 32 MP selfie camera with a 21mm wide lens and an f/2.0 aperture, offering clear, detailed self-portraits even in good lighting. Its 1/3.14" sensor size and 0.7µm pixel size strike a balance between sharpness and low-light performance, though it may not capture as much light as larger sensors. The wide 21mm focal length is perfect for group selfies or wider framing, ensuring that more of the scene fits into your shot.
Selfie Features
The Xiaomi 15's 32 MP selfie camera also comes with HDR, which helps balance highlights and shadows for more natural-looking selfies, especially in challenging lighting conditions. The panorama feature allows for wide-angle selfies, perfect for capturing more people or a broader background in a single shot.
Selfie Video
The Xiaomi 15's selfie camera offers impressive video capabilities, including 4K recording at 30/60fps for ultra-high-definition self-videos. It also supports 1080p video at 30/60fps, with HDR10+ for enhanced color and contrast, making your videos look more vibrant. With gyro-EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization), your videos stay smooth and steady, even while moving or filming at higher frame rates.
