The Xiaomi 15 Pro debuted as the brand’s latest flagship smartphone with cutting edge technology. But soon, a new model will be positioned as the next top flagship model. The device in question is the Xiaomi 15 Ultra that has recently made the rounds in rumors and reports. So here are all the changes or upgrades it could offer over the Xiaomi 15 Pro.
1. Xiaomi 15 Ultra vs Xiaomi 15 Pro: Design & Display
Xiaomi unveiled the 15 Pro in China back in October with a design that was quite similar to the older Xiaomi 14 Pro. The front has slim bezels with a center aligned punch hole cutout for the selfie camera, while the rear has a large square camera module with rounded corners.
Keeping the design language same between the generations, even the Xiaomi 15 Ultra continues the design elements of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. So the rear has that sizeable circular camera module for the quad camera setup.
On the front, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to sport a 6.73-inch AMOLED display with a micro-quad-curved design just like the Xiaomi 15 Pro. So you’re also getting a 2K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner. However, the biggest change between the Ultra and Pro variant is the cameras.
2. Improved Zoom Photography
Last year, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra debuted with an additional camera sensor at the back for a quad camera setup over the triple camera module on the Xiaomi 14 Pro. Similarly, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is also getting an additional sensor over the Pro option.
Just like the Xiaomi 15 Pro, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has a a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-900 primary camera with OIS support, a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 ultra-wide snapper, and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX858 telephoto came, although the fourth shooter is a 200-megapixel Samsung HP9 periscope telephoto camera with support for up to 100x AI-driven hybrid zoom. This would allow it to take improved zoomed shots.
3. Xiaomi 15 Ultra with the largest ever battery on a Xiaomi Flagship
A leak from December 2024 hinted that the Chinese tech giant may significantly increase the Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s battery capacity. The Xiaomi 15 pro launched with a massive 6,100mAh cell that supports 90W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. So we can expect the 15 Ultra to have a cell with a larger capacity, which would make it the largest ever battery on a Xiaomi flagship. There might also be improvements in the charging rates as well. Rumors have hinted at up to 100W wired fast charging and either 50W or 80W wireless charging speeds.
