Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s camera leak
According to a Weibo post, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will retain a substantial circular camera module, though its layout has been significantly revamped. The four-camera setup now includes two telephoto lenses and an especially large periscope lens.
Moreover, the 50-megapixel main sensor is reportedly bigger than its predecessor, which hints at either a larger sensor size or a wider aperture. For context, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra was equipped with a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-900 sensor with a primary camera measuring 1 inch. It’s speculated that the new sensor might surpass 1 inch, indicating a major enhancement in camera capabilities. No further details about the 15 Ultra’s specs were disclosed in this leak.
Display and Performance Features
Recent updates have indicated that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s display will showcase a micro-curvature design on all four edges. It will offer a 2K resolution and incorporate an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. The device is anticipated to operate on HyperOS 2.0, based on Android 15. There is speculation that one of the rear cameras might be a 200-megapixel Samsung HP9 periscope telephoto sensor with 4x optical zoom functionality.
Internally, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, paired with 24 GB of RAM and a battery with an approximate capacity of 6,200mAh. Reports suggest that the device’s engineering prototype is available in three distinct finishes: plain leather, fiberglass, and ceramic.
