The Xiaomi 15S Pro will mark the return of Xiaomi’s S-series flagships after a long gap. The last one, the Xiaomi 12S, launched almost three years ago. Leaks suggest that the 15S Pro will carry forward the design of the Xiaomi 15 Pro, including a 2K quad-curved display and a triple-camera setup with Leica lenses. But this time, the battery could be a major upgrade, with rumors pointing to a massive 6,000mAh+ battery and 90W fast charging based on 3C certification details. The phone may bring back UWB (Ultra-Wideband) support, a feature Xiaomi last used on the MIX 4. UWB enables precise location tracking, ideal for things like unlocking Xiaomi’s electric car, the SU7 EV. Given Xiaomi’s growing interest in smart vehicles, this move makes a lot of sense. The most exciting part is the possibility that the Xiaomi 15S Pro might be powered by Xiaomi’s own in-house chipset. Caption - Xiaomi’s in-house chip might support the upcoming Xiaomi 15S Pro.

While early rumours suggested a Xiaomi’s in-house chip will be a cutting-edge 3nm chip, recent info from tipster Fixed Focus Digital shared via Jukanlosreve on X (formerly Twitter) points to something a bit different. According to Fixed Focus Digital, the chip will be built on TSMC’s N4P process, which is a more mature and cost-effective option. Caption - Tipster Fixed Focus Digital’s recent post on Weibo.
