Smartphone brands, such as Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo are expected to announce their “Ultra” branded flagship phones in the first half of 2025 in China. There have been reports that the Oppo Find X8 Ultra and the Vivo X200 Ultra may remain exclusive to the Chinese market. However, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, like its predecessor, is expected to be available in multiple markets outside of China. According to a recent development, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to launch earlier in China than its predecessor.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra 3C certified in China
The 3C authority approved the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in February this year, marking its official launch in China in the same month. Phones typically launch about a month or two after appearing in China’s 3C database. Now, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has surfaced in the 3C database, indicating that it may launch as early as January 2025 in China.
The screenshot above reveals that two variants of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, model numbers 25010PN30C and 25019PN30C, have achieved 3C certification. The former supports calls via Tiantong satellite connectivity, whereas the latter supports calls via Tiantong satellite connectivity and text messaging via Beidou satellite connectivity.
The 3C certification further reveals that both variants of the 15 Ultra may ship with Xiaomi’s MDY-14-EC charger, which supports up to 90W fast charging. While the 15 Ultra is expected to launch earlier than its predecessor in China, there is no clarity on whether it will hit the global market in January 2025.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra was announced for the global market at the Mobile World Congress (2024) in February this year. The company is likely to use the same platform to unveil it in the coming year.
