Recent news about Xiaomi 15 Ultra has been frequent, leaving everyone eagerly anticipating. Following the release of Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro, Xiaomi 15 Ultra naturally becomes the next focus. Based on previous product update cycles, this flagship model is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2025. Now, various leaks about it are gradually emerging, especially details about the body design and camera module, which are particularly eye-catching.

Firstly, many previous reports indicate that Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be released earlier than expected, with an anticipated January launch. This means it should be available before the Spring Festival. Xiaomi 14 Ultra was released at the end of February this year, and the earlier release of Xiaomi 15 Ultra is simply due to the intense competition in the smartphone market.

The OPPO Find X8 Pro, released in October, already features a quad-camera setup with dual telephoto lenses. This phone starts at 5299 yuan, on par with Xiaomi 15 Pro.

As Xiaomi's annual imaging flagship, Xiaomi 15 Ultra carries a heavy burden. It must not only surpass the previous generation in imaging but also excel in other configurations to stand out in a market surrounded by strong competitors. There is already a considerable amount of information about Xiaomi 15 Ultra online, so let's take a sneak peek.

Recently, a blogger exposed the design of Xiaomi 15 Ultra. It is reported that Xiaomi 15 Ultra features a full-depth 2K quad-curved screen on the front, with a metal right-angle frame and a centered circular camera module on the back.

The device comes in three color options: white, black-red, and white-green. It uses glass fiber material. The black-red color scheme combines a black body with a red camera DECO ring, giving it a professional camera vibe. The white-green color scheme features a vertical color-blocking design, with 1/5 white and 4/5 green, making it highly recognizable.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra could be unveiled as early as January, featuring a Leica quad-camera setup, including a 50MP ultra-large sensor main camera, a 50MP telephoto lens, a 200MP periscope telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens. Both the main and telephoto lenses support OIS stabilization.

This time, Xiaomi 15 Ultra is equipped with Samsung's 200MP periscope telephoto lens, model ISOCELL HP9, the most advanced telephoto sensor to date. It has a 1/1.4-inch sensor size and can output clear and bright 12MP photos in low-light environments, with a single pixel size of up to 2.24μm.

Additionally, Xiaomi 15 Ultra will support 90W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging.

By the way, Xiaomi 15 Ultra maintains the same haptic feedback as its predecessor.

In terms of core configuration, Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform and is expected to offer up to 16GB+1TB storage options. However, support for satellite communication is still unclear.

Of course, for many users, hardware upgrades are not everything. More practical and abundant software features and optimizations are also important factors in evaluating a flagship device. Xiaomi has accumulated rich experience in imaging algorithms, such as intelligent scene recognition, night mode, and motion stabilization. Whether Xiaomi 15 Ultra will further improve on the software level, such as optimizing telephoto macro shooting and enhancing clarity in low-light environments, are key concerns for users. After all, the combination of hardware and software unleashes the true potential of mobile photography.

It's worth mentioning that the price of Xiaomi 14 Ultra has been increased to a starting price of 6499 yuan. Considering the price increase of Xiaomi 15/15 Pro, the starting price of Xiaomi 15 Ultra is likely to reach around 7000 yuan. Of course, it's also possible that Lei Jun will "withstand the pressure" and keep the price of Xiaomi 15 Ultra unchanged.

Additionally, Lu Weibing confirmed in a recent livestream that sales of the Xiaomi 15 series have surpassed 1 million units, and this milestone was reached faster than the Xiaomi 14 series. With the success of Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro as a solid foundation, Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to perform exceptionally well.

In summary, Xiaomi 15 Ultra seems to have undergone significant upgrades in both appearance and configuration, especially in the imaging system and screen design, showing great sincerity. For users who enjoy exploring photographic creation, this new device is undoubtedly a worthwhile choice to look forward to. As for other specific parameters and functions, we will have to wait for further announcements from the official sources. Regardless, the emergence of Xiaomi 15 Ultra is bound to create a new stir in the smartphone market in 2025.
