Lu Weibing, Partner and President of Xiaomi Group, as well as the General Manager of the Xiaomi brand, recently held a live broadcast in China to confirm official details of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra ahead of its expected launch next week. He highlighted Xiaomi’s strategy of expanding its premium product lineup across various categories and mentioned that product launch events alone are often too short to showcase every product in detail. To address this, Xiaomi will increasingly adopt a combination of launch events and live broadcasts to provide users with more insights into product details and the thought process behind them. Today, Digital Chat Station shared a Weibo post summarizing the key highlights from yesterday’s live broadcast.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra camera specifications
One of the biggest revelations was the full camera specifications of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. The device will feature a quad-camera system featuring the following camera sensors:
- 50-megapixel primary sensor (1/0.98-inch, 23mm, f/1.63)
- 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera (14mm, f/2.2)
- 50-mgeapixel telephoto camera (70mm, f/1.8) with 10cm telephoto macro
- 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera (1/1.4-inch, 100mm, f/2.6). Supports in-sensor zoom (ISZ) with lossless output at 200mm and 400mm, offering multiple focal lengths including 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4.3x, 8.7x, and 17.3x.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra aims to overcome the limitations of night photography through an “ultra-pure optical system” and is designed to set a new benchmark in mobile imaging. Interestingly, this generation will not feature a variable aperture.
Xiaomi has upgraded the 15 Ultra’s positioning from an imaging flagship to a “pinnacle imaging technology flagship,” packing the best hardware available. However, this will also increase pricing. In addition to camera advancements, the device will showcase Xiaomi’s top-tier technology in battery, display, and connectivity.
Another significant announcement was the first-ever public reveal of the Xiaomi Imaging Lab. The lab is a real-world setup that costs over 20 million Yuan to build, featuring detailed recreations of environments like cafés, museums, jewellery stores, luxury boutiques, and restaurants. This is just the first phase, with the second phase expected to include artificial sunlight and water systems. The scale of investment in the lab explains why Xiaomi no longer prioritizes DXOMARK rankings.
Upcoming Xiaomi products
The upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra launch event will see the arrival of several other products. These include the Mi Home Central Air Conditioner, the Pro variant of the Mijia Washer and Dryer Set, a dual-system refrigerator Pro, the Super XiaoAI Speaker, an inverter dehumidifier, the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro, and the RedmiBook 2025 Pro.
