The latest Xiaomi flagships, the Xiaomi 13, 13 Pro, and 13 Ultra, all come with impressive cameras that are at par with some of the most high-end phones. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra, in particular, boasts a quad Leica-tuned camera setup on the rear, with a 1-inch 50MP Summicron lens. One might say that this is as good as smartphone cameras get, but there is always room for improvement. And the next-generation Xiaomi 14 Ultra may just up the ante further but it will likely have to make do with a 1-inch main sensor, the same as its predecessor.
But Xiaomi 15 Ultra may bring a larger sensor
Xiaomi 14 Ultra is going to be the next mega flagship from the Chinese company and just like this year’s model, the new phone is also expected to get serious camera hardware. However, tipster Digital Chat Station riddled in a recent Weibo post that the smartphone will have to continue using a 1-inch camera sensor. DCS notes that the M43 sensor, which has a size of 1.33 inches, is still too big for the phones and will likely not be seen in one anytime soon.
The tipster, however, suggests that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will come with major improvements in the sensor size. Given that these are early leaks, we can’t be too sure about the details but DCS has a neat track record so these claims do hold some water.
To remind you of Xiaomi 13 Ultra’s (review) camera prowess, the device gets a Leica Vario-Summicron lens on the back with a 1-inch 50MP Sony IMX989 primary camera sensor, carrying support for variable aperture between f/1.9 and f/4.0. The smartphone also boasts a 50MP Sony IMX858 f/1.8 ultrawide sensor with a 122-degree FOV, along with a pair of 50MP Sony IMX858 telephoto lenses.
