According to previous reports, Qualcomm's next-generation flagship mobile platform, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4, is expected to be released in October this year ahead of schedule, and the launch schedule of related devices will also be advanced accordingly. If everything goes as expected, the all-new Xiaomi 15 series is likely to secure the first-to-market advantage again, which means the new devices could arrive as early as October. However, the top-tier Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to be unveiled early next year. Recently, a digital blogger shared more details about the device's camera capabilities.

According to the blogger, Xiaomi will launch a smartphone equipped with a 4.X times zoom 200-megapixel telephoto lens. Based on various information currently available, this device is highly likely to be the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. In addition to this impressive 4.X times zoom 200-megapixel telephoto lens, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will also feature a quad-camera system with an additional small telephoto lens, providing comprehensive coverage in imaging and ensuring no regrets in various shooting scenarios.

Among Xiaomi's current smartphone lineup, there aren't many models equipped with quad cameras, and the Xiaomi Ultra series is one of them. Considering the camera capabilities, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is undoubtedly attracting significant attention, while the MIX series may have to wait longer.

It's worth noting that so far, only the vivo X100 Ultra boasts a 200-megapixel periscope camera equipped with a Samsung S5KHP9 sensor, offering 200-megapixel output, a 1/1.4-inch sensor size, and 3.7x optical zoom. The 200-megapixel periscope camera on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is likely to use the same CMOS as the vivo X100 Ultra, but with a higher optical zoom ratio, theoretically providing superior resolving power.

Furthermore, according to previous reports, the all-new Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 flagship platform, featuring Qualcomm's in-house Nuvia architecture with two Nuvia Phoenix performance cores and six Nuvia Phoenix M cores, forming a new dual-cluster octa-core CPU architecture. This represents Qualcomm's most significant architectural change in its history of 5G SoCs.

The chip also adopts TSMC's latest second-generation 3nm N3E process, which significantly improves performance and energy efficiency compared to its predecessor. However, due to the higher cost of the new manufacturing process, the retail price of Snapdragon 8 Gen4 devices is expected to increase by 25% to 30%. Additionally, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 introduces AI-driven frame generation technology, enabling 1080p gameplay at 120fps, rivaling native game frame rates.

Similar to the Xiaomi 14 Pro, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra features a 2K quad-curved display with uniform curvature, supporting a 120Hz refresh rate, high-frequency eye-care dimming technology, and ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking. The device also includes features such as multi-function NFC, infrared remote control, a 1010 X-axis linear motor, stereo dual speakers, WiFi 7, IP68 dust and water resistance, and Tiantong satellite communication.

However, the highlight is not limited to these features. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra boasts a significant improvement in battery capacity, expected to house a 6000mAh or 6200mAh silicon battery, a noticeable upgrade from the 5300mAh battery in the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.

In terms of battery life, further enhancements are anticipated, particularly in wireless fast charging speeds, which may reach up to 80W. The operating system may be upgraded to Pengpai OS 2.0, offering an even more exceptional user experience.

Beyond these, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra boasts numerous cutting-edge technologies. The ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking is extremely fast, enabling instant access even with wet hands. It also supports satellite communication technology, ensuring a strong signal wherever you go. The operating system may be upgraded to the brand-new Pengpai OS 2.0 version, featuring powerful AI capabilities to effortlessly handle voice calls, real-time translation, and automatic photo editing.

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra also excels in build quality, featuring a plastic back cover and an aluminum alloy or titanium alloy frame, offering both an outstanding feel and a premium appearance. It also utilizes the latest Dragontrail Pro glass, renowned for its exceptional hardness, surpassing even the Ceramic Shield glass found on iPhones, significantly reducing the risk of damage from drops.

Finally, the launch date and price of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra are no longer a mystery. The device is expected to be unveiled before April 2025, with a starting price of approximately 6,499 yuan.

In conclusion, although the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has yet to be officially released, the information currently available indicates that it is highly anticipated.

While much of the information about the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is still in the rumor stage, these leaks have already generated significant excitement among Xiaomi fans and tech enthusiasts. To see the Xiaomi 15 Ultra in its full glory, we will have to wait for more official announcements.
