Xiaomi is gearing up for the release of its latest flagship, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, which is expected to launch soon—either in January or February, following in the footsteps of its predecessor. While many details are still under wraps, a recent leak shared by the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station offers intriguing insights into the device’s design and features.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is likely to carry forward the design language of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, with some minor adjustments. The device is expected to sport a 6.73-inch curved OLED display, maintaining the same resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels and 120Hz refresh rate seen in the previous model. However, the focus of attention is clearly on the phone’s camera setup.
On the rear, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will feature a 1-inch main camera with an f/1.63 aperture. This main sensor will likely provide impressive low-light performance and detailed shots, but there’s no mention of the variable aperture. Accompanying it will be a 50 MP 70mm zoom telephoto lens (down from the 75mm lens with 3.2x magnification on the previous model), as well as a 200 MP 100mm periscope telephoto camera (a reduction from the 120mm 5x telephoto lens of its predecessor). The tipster previously claimed that the periscope telephoto will have 4.3x magnification.
Battery: not as impressive as expected
While many competitors are pushing battery capacities upwards of 6,000mAh, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is rumored to come with a battery in the range of 5,450mAh to 5,800mAh. While this is a sizeable capacity, it falls short of what some rival phones offer. This decision, if true, is likely influenced by the quest to opt for a sleek design, potentially avoiding a thick, bulky phone. For context, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra measured 9.2mm in thickness and weighed around 220g, so the 15 Ultra could be quite similar in terms of physical dimensions. Nonetheless, this is just a speculation, and the tipster has since deleted the post.
On the performance front, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will likely feature the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, offering top-tier processing power for gaming, multitasking, and image processing. Additionally, expect support for fast charging, similar to last year’s model, ensuring that the device can recharge quickly despite its moderate battery size.
In conclusion, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra appears to be a solid successor to the 14 Ultra, offering high-end camera features, a sleek design, and the latest in mobile performance.
