Xiaomi’s 15 series launched in China last year sporting the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. While its global release is still up in the air, the Chinese tech giant is preparing to add an Ultra model to the lineup.
Reports suggest Xiaomi will launch the 15 Ultra simultaneously in Chinese and global markets, likely alongside the regular Xiaomi 15 for global audiences. With the launch expected next month, a real-life image of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has already surfaced on X (formerly Twitter).
Xiaomi 15 Ultra real-life image
Posted by the user Kartikey Singh, the 15 Ultra unsurprisingly looks different from the rest of the 15 series. It ditches the square camera module for Xiaomi’s iconic circular design.
The leaked image reveals a triple-camera layout within the circular module. The primary sensor is likely a massive 1-inch 50MP shooter, accompanied by a 50MP ultra-wide sensor and a 50MP telephoto lens with 3x zoom capability.
According to previous reports, nestled above these three sensors is the LEICA branding on the left, while a 200MP periscope telephoto lens with macro capability and 4.3x zoom sits on the right. An LED flash completes the camera setup at the top.
The leaked image shows a red accented outer ring for the camera module contrasting with a black vegan leather rear panel. Rumors suggest Xiaomi might also offer glass or ceramic back panel options in the 15 Ultra.
Interestingly, there are some discrepancies between this leaked image and earlier CAD-based renders. The LEICA branding appears vertical in the leaked image, whereas the renders showed it horizontally positioned. Additionally, the renders depicted a dual rear flash setup, while the leaked image suggests a single LED flash.
What to expect
According to reports, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will come equipped with a 6.73-inch AMOLED panel that features a micro-quad-curved design. It will offer a 2K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. The device will run on HyperOS 2-based Android 15.
Under the hood, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and a 6,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging support. The 15 Ultra is expected to arrive with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage.
For selfies, it is expected to feature a 32-megapixel front-facing camera. The rear camera setup of the device will have a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-900 primary camera with OIS support, a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 ultra-wide snapper, a 50-megapixel Sony IMX858 telephoto camera, and a 200-megapixel Samsung HP9 periscope telephoto camera with support for up to 100x AI-driven hybrid zoom.
