The Xiaomi 15 series includes three flagship models, namely the Xiaomi 15, 15 Pro, and 15 Ultra. All three phones are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. While the standard and Pro models are expected to debut later this month, the Ultra model is expected to break cover in Q1 2025. While the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro are camera-focused flagships, the Ultra model is expected to offer an even better photography experience. Reports have claimed that it will be equipped with a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. A new leak that has emerged on Weibo has shed more information about this camera.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s 200MP camera detailed
Reports have claimed that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be equipped with the Samsung ISOCELL HP9 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. The same periscope zoom camera is available on the Vivo X100 Ultra, which debuted earlier this year in China.
As can be seen in the above screenshot, while the tipster has leaked the camera details of an upcoming phone, he has not specified its name. However, in all likelihood, he could be talking about the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. The leak reveals that the 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera will offer a 100mm focal length, an f/2.6 aperture, and 4.3x optical zoom. The leaker did not share any information about the other specs.
A recent report claimed that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will feature the one-inch 50-megapixel LYT-900 primary camera with OIS support, a 50-megapixel Sony IMX858 ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX858 telephoto camera. While the 15 Ultra will feature a new periscope telephoto camera, the rest of the cameras are identical to those of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
In addition to leaking the periscope camera details, DCS has also hinted at the launch timeframe for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. According to his information, the device is scheduled to launch after the Lunar New Year, suggesting a release in February or at least within the first quarter of 2025.
