Several months ago, Xiaomi officially unveiled the new Xiaomi 15 series, comprising the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro. Positioned as a compact flagship, the Xiaomi 15 stands out, while the Xiaomi 15 Pro represents Xiaomi's most potent smartphone to date, reintroducing the periscope telephoto lens and upgrading to ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, addressing previous generation issues. Both models garnered significant attention upon their release. Beyond these two offerings, the series will introduce the colossal Xiaomi 15 Ultra early this year. Recent updates from a digital blogger have shed light on additional configurations of this device.

Firstly, Xiaomi 15 Ultra has reportedly secured all necessary certifications and is poised for a February release, likely to be the first oversized flagship of 2025.

The latest leaks suggest that Xiaomi 15 Ultra's imaging preview function has undergone significant optimization, coupled with Ai Super Clear technology, ensuring that users see precisely what they capture, with enhanced night photography capabilities.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra is rumored to adopt a 1-inch + dual telephoto imaging system, with the primary camera being the Sony IMX900, boasting a 1-inch colossal sensor capable of capturing more light and intricate details. The telephoto setup includes a 50MP upright telephoto lens and a 200MP periscope telephoto lens, both equipped with large apertures and advanced lens coatings. Furthermore, Xiaomi 15 Ultra supports telephoto macro photography with a minimum focusing distance of 10cm.

Moreover, Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to come with a practical external camera grip for improved stability and convenience during photography and videography, along with Morandi color series phone cases.

Overall, Xiaomi 15 Ultra's imaging hardware stands at the pinnacle of the current smartphone industry, embodying Xiaomi's three generations of high-end imaging innovation.

Additionally, Xiaomi 15 Ultra will come standard with Tiantong satellite calling, and the top-tier version will support Beidou satellite messaging.

Tiantong satellite communication primarily offers satellite phone services operated by China Telecom, whereas Beidou No.3 short message communication service is akin to a standard mobile phone's "text messaging" function. The Beidou No.3 short message terminal communicates directly via Beidou satellites, bypassing ground communication base stations, ensuring uninterrupted communication even in remote areas where ground facilities are unavailable or damaged.

Design-wise, Xiaomi 15 Ultra continues the circular lens design of its predecessor, with the periscope telephoto lens strategically placed at the top right corner of the circular lens module, and three cameras arranged beneath it.

Leaks indicate that Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be available in various color options, including white and black-red color-blocking. The black-red color-blocking variant features a black body with a red lens DECO ring, exuding a professional camera aesthetic with a heightened visual impact.

In terms of materials, there are three options: vegan leather, glass fiber, and ceramic.

On the hardware front, Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to feature Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Ultimate processor and a 2K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The battery capacity is anticipated to reach 6000mAh, supporting 90W wired fast charging and wireless charging.

Regarding pricing, a blogger has revealed that pricing has been preliminarily set, with the 12+256GB version expected to retail at 6999 yuan, marking a 500 yuan increase compared to the 14 Ultra.
