The DJI Mini 5 Pro is one of the most anticipated drones of 2025. While DJI has not made an official announcement, leaks and rumors suggest exciting upgrades. From a better camera to longer flight time, in addition to some more advanced AI features, the DJI Mini 5 Pro may be a major improvement from its predecessor. Let’s take a closer look at what to expect from this drone.

Rumors of DJI Mini 5 Pro
The camera upgrade rumor carries the most serious weight. It’s rumored that the DJI Mini 5 Pro may come with a bigger sensor, up to 1 inch, which would boost image quality, sharpness, and dynamic range. That would certainly be a considerable step forward from the Mini 4 Pro’s 1/1.3-inch sensor. Besides that, subject tracking could get even smoother and more precise, making it perfect for capturing fast-moving objects, thanks to AI-powered tracking.
The second juicy rumor points toward an increased flying time, whereas the Mini 4 Pro manages 40 minutes, the Mini 5 Pro could boast a flight time of 55 minutes or even an hour-long flying time-one of the longest on the market among mini drones.

There’s also speculation that the DJI Mini 5 Pro might feature LiDAR technology, which has previously been seen in high-end DJI drones. If true, this would significantly enhance obstacle detection and improve flight stability. Then there are rumors of 5G connectivity, which would enhance real-time video transmission and improve control responsiveness.
Even with these updates, DJI is very likely to keep the drone under 249 grams, so that users in many regions can fly it without special registration. However, it will be challenging for DJI to balance a bigger sensor, stronger battery, and lightweight design.
Conclusion
So, with the DJI Mini 5 Pro’s improved camera, increased battery life, and other cutting-edge AI capabilities, this will certainly be one of the most highly anticipated releases. While nothing is declared as of now, leaks hint at a late 2025 launch. If the rumors go true, this will make the DJI Mini 5 Pro very popular among drone lovers.
