Gsmarena states that the optical zoom here is 3x (60mm) and not 5x as you mention in the article.
Where is the truth then? It seems more true to me, because then the difference between xiaomi15 and xiaomi 15pro would only be in the size of the display and the battery?
Another question would be if the 3x optical zoom (50 MP Leica 60mm telephoto lens with f/2.0) it's 60mm, so why is the 5x optical zoom 120mm? (50 MP Leica 120mm telephoto lens with f/2.5)

Editorial

According to the photos from Xiaomi, the zoom is 2,6X and 5X, but we have no idea what that means exactly. There is nothing about zoom on the official site, they only list focal lengths at 60mm.comment image

3x zoom / 5x zoom is only a relative figure, the focal length is important, only that determines how close the given lens is. Because a 3x zoom from a 20mm focal length is 60mm, but a 3x zoom from a 25mm focal length is already 75mm, and that's something completely different. I would completely forbid the "zoom" parameter to be mentioned, it is a vulgarity and a meaningless number.
