But that didn’t last long in the tech world, as rumors have begun to circulate about what we might see from its successor, the Xiaomi Mi 15 Ultra. Here’s what we know about this potential photography giant. We’ll be updating this article in the coming weeks and months as more rumors emerge, so be sure to check back regularly to learn more about this phone.
Xiaomi Mi 15 Ultra Release Date and Price
The 14 Ultra was released in China in February and was first shown to Western media including CNET Mobile World Congress 2024 In Barcelona in February. It wasn’t until late March that I was able to get my hands on it to test. While Xiaomi has yet to confirm a release date for the phone, all signs point to the company planning a similar follow-up.
It has taken the wraps off the base models of the Xiaomi Mi 15 and 15 Pro for the Chinese market – again following the same timeline as last year’s 14 and 14 Pro. The 14 Ultra is priced at £1,299 in the UK, and while it’s not officially available in the US yet, that price equates to $1,640. There’s no word yet on any major pricing changes from the company, so we expect the 15 Ultra to be priced at this level.

Xiaomi’s Ultra series has always been focused on photography, and the 14 Ultra not only comes with a huge image sensor, but also a variable aperture and an impressive 5x optical zoom. We have no doubt that the 15 Ultra will be equally aimed at photographers, and early leaks confirm this.
known informant ice universe report The 15 Ultra’s periscope telephoto camera will feature an image sensor of up to 200 megapixels. That’s a huge improvement over the 50-megapixel sensor on the 14 Ultra. What are the disadvantages? Ice Universe also says that optical zoom will drop from 5x to 4.4x, though the additional resolution may allow for further digital zoom without a noticeable loss in quality.
Renders of the Xiaomi Mi 15 Ultra are said to have been leaked.
This change to the telephoto camera unit is apparently supported by leaked renders of the phone From Smart Grand Prixthe top of which shows an off-center camera unit. Further leaked images (via GSM Arena) purportedly shows the innards of the camera setup, suggesting it is offset from the center to make room for its large periscope unit. The renders, if accurate, also confirm the ongoing relationship between Xiaomi and Leica, so expect high-quality lens optics and a variety of Leica color presets to spice up your images.
So far, there are few other rumors about the rest of the cameras, including any changes to the main camera and its 1-inch sensor. I certainly hope Xiaomi continues to use a sensor of at least this size – if not larger – and keeps its variable aperture, which can go from wide open at f/1.6 to more closed at f/4, resulting in nighttime light spots around Fascinating starburst.
Xiaomi Mi 15 Ultra processor, display and battery
Given that the 14 Ultra is equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 third generation When Xiaomi processors are launched, it is certain that Xiaomi will equip its new models with Qualcomm’s next-generation chips. Qualcomm lifts the veil of mystery Snapdragon 8 Elite released in Octoberwhich we expect to see in most flagship phones launched within the next six months.
In addition to the expected overall speed increase, the 8 Elite processor also promises to improve web browsing speeds and is particularly suitable for artificial intelligence tasks, including powering artificial intelligence tools on devices such as Samsung Galaxy AI. At its event, Qualcomm showed off an AI-powered tool that can add artificial lighting to your selfies. According to CNET’s David Lumb When he tried it himself, it was “very fun and helpful.” We expect the Xiaomi Mi 15 Ultra to be equipped with a variety of artificial intelligence tools for image processing and virtual assistance.
Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra is a powerful phone. The 15 Ultra is also expected to have the same design and be powered by the latest Qualcomm chips.
Rumor has it that the 15 Ultra will have the same 6.7-inch display as the 14 Ultra, but the battery capacity may be expanded from 5,000 mAh to 6,000 mAh. Whether this remains the case for models outside of China remains to be seen, as the 14 Ultra’s battery size does appear to be slightly larger for models sold in China.
The phone is expected to continue to offer 90W wired charging, though I’d like to see the company take it a step further. Some of Xiaomi’s other phones, including the 2021-released 11T Pro, offer 120W fast charging, but it’s disappointing not to see such speeds on the company’s flashiest and most expensive model.
