Xiaomi 15 Ultra: 200MP Samsung HP9 Periscope Telephoto Sensor Rumor
Xiaomi is gearing up to release its Xiaomi 15 series later this year, which will include the base models Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro. Additionally, the Ultra model is anticipated to debut early next year, featuring an advanced camera system, as disclosed by the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station.
Camera Configurations
According to DCS, Xiaomi is currently testing two configurations for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. One of these setups includes a quad-camera system, featuring a 200MP periscope telephoto lens based on the Samsung ISOCELL HP9 sensor, which made its debut in June. This particular sensor is also utilized in the Vivo X100 Ultra.
This aligns with a leak from last week by tipster Ice Universe, who also noted that the Ultra model would come equipped with a 200MP sensor and a quad-camera setup.
Camera Specs
The HP9 sensor is notable for its 1/1.4-inch optical format and 200 million pixels, each measuring 0.56 micrometers. This high pixel density allows for detailed image capture. It employs tetra-pixel technology that merges pixels in a 4×4 configuration, converting into a 12MP sensor with larger 2.24-micrometer pixels. This enhances the bokeh effect and improves low-light photography by capturing more light, resulting in clearer and brighter images.
The HP9 sensor also features a remosaic algorithm that supports 2x or 4x in-sensor zoom modes. When combined with a 3x optical zoom telephoto module, it can achieve up to 12x zoom while maintaining image quality. Additionally, the sensor uses high-refractive-index micro-lenses to focus light more precisely onto the RGB color filters, enhancing light sensitivity by 12% and improving autofocus accuracy by 10% compared to its predecessor. This leads to better low-light performance and sharper, more vivid photos.
Xiaomi 14 Ultra Sensors
Last year’s Xiaomi 14 Ultra (check out our full review of Xiaomi 14 Ultra) featured a quad-camera setup with impressive specs. It included a 50MP main camera with a 1″ Sony LYT-900 sensor, variable aperture, and Hyper OIS. The device also had a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, two telephoto cameras all using IMX858 sensors, and supported 8K video recording.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra Specs (Rumored)
Recent leaks about the Xiaomi 15 Ultra suggest it will feature a dual-layer OLED panel with 2K resolution and an ultrasonic on-screen fingerprint sensor. The device is expected to run on HyperOS 2.0-based Android 15, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, and may offer up to 24 GB of RAM and a 6,200mAh battery. While the 15 Pro variant might not see a global release, the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Ultra are expected to be launched worldwide.

However, this might come at a cost — both in terms of weight and size. Smart Pikachu suggests that the 15 Ultra won’t be light or thin. Xiaomi’s current flagship, the 14 Ultra, is already quite hefty at 9.2mm thick and weighing 229.5 grams. The 15 Ultra could be a real hand-filler if the leak holds true.
Release and Availability
It’s important to remember that these are just leaks, and Xiaomi’s final design choices could differ. However, they do offer a glimpse into the potential direction the company might be taking with its upcoming flagship.
A previous report also indicated that Xiaomi has plans to launch both the vanilla model and the Xiaomi 15 Ultra globally, while the Xiaomi 14 Pro may remain exclusive to the Chinese market.

Leaked Report Suggests Xiaomi 15 Ultra and 15 Pro Might Include Ultrasonic In-Display Fingerprint Scanners
Xiaomi 15 Series to Feature Ultrasonic In-Screen Fingerprint Sensor
Xiaomi recently launched the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro in China, and now rumors are swirling about the upcoming Xiaomi 15 lineup. While the Xiaomi 14 series has yet to make its global debut, a leak has provided some insight into the fingerprint sensor technology that may be featured in the Xiaomi 15 series.

The standard Xiaomi 15 model may feature a 6.36-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and support for 1.5K resolution. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 15 Pro is expected to sport a larger curved-edge screen with a 2K resolution.
Release Timeline
Mass production of the Xiaomi 15 series is anticipated to begin in September of this year, indicating a possible launch in October. However, it is important to note that these details are based on leaks and rumors, and Xiaomi has yet to confirm any official information regarding the Xiaomi 15 series.
In conclusion, the Xiaomi 15 series is rumored to feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, providing enhanced accuracy and security. With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset and impressive display specifications, the Xiaomi 15 series is poised to be a highly anticipated smartphone lineup.
