The Xiaomi 15 series is rumored to come between October and November, and the rumors are spreading. Today, new information comes from Weibo user Smart Pikachu, according to him, the Xiaomi 15 series will see significant upgrade in its fingerprint scanner. The leak suggests that all three models, the Xiaomi 15, 15 Pro, and 15 Ultra will ditch the optical in-display fingerprint scanners of their predecessors for faster and more reliable ultrasonic fingerprint sensors.
Xiaomi 15 Series to Adopt Ultrasonic Fingerprint Technology
Unlike standard optical scanners that use light to read fingerprints, ultrasonic sensors use sound waves to create a more detailed 3D map of the fingerprint. This approach has several potential benefits, including improved security, better performance in wet or dry conditions, and faster unlocking speeds. For example, while optical scanners may struggle with wet or dirty fingers, the new sensors can still read them accurately. However, because of their superior performance, these sensors are more expensive to implement.
Gizchina News of the week
Xiaomi hasn’t said which type of sensor they’ll use in the Xiaomi 15 series. Some companies use a “single-point” sensor, while others use a bigger area to unlock the phone faster. We don’t know yet which one Xiaomi will choose, so keep in mind that this information isn’t confirmed.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip will come out in late October. The Xiaomi 15 series might not be revealed until November. These new phones will probably be the first to use Qualcomm’s latest chip, which is different because it’s moving away from the usual ARM cores to Qualcomm’s own Oryon Core. As we get closer to the release, Xiaomi should share more details. As per the reports, the Xiaomi 15 series will include the vanilla, Pro and Ultra variants this time around. However, we also expect a Lite variant to arrive later on.
The new technology has been gaining ground recently in the flagship phone market. Samsung incorporated the technology in its flagships, and we expect more brands to follow suit.
