A Xiaomi phone with the model number 25010PN30G appeared on the Geekbench AI benchmark yesterday. This device is anticipated to be the global version of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. It runs on Android 15 right from the start. The CPU clock speeds confirm earlier reports that suggest the device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.
NPU Capabilities and AI Performance
When discussing NPU capability, we can compare it to the Galaxy S25 series, which natively handles several advanced AI features effortlessly. However, it’s crucial to note that the actual performance of AI relies only in part on the NPU capabilities of the new chip. The integration of AI features is mainly determined by Xiaomi itself.
Expected AI Features of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra
The device will operate on Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0 skin, which does incorporate various AI features. These include a writing assistant (to help users draft emails, messages, and more), a translation tool, an AI Memo Recording feature (for recording and transcribing memos based on info gathered during meetings and calls), and an “AI movie lock screen clock” that can intelligently use videos captured by the user to create dynamic lock screen clocks. I’m already familiar with nearly all these features, and I can’t wait to see the last one in action.
Performance Metrics of the Prototype
Regarding the CPU and GPU performance of the prototype, earlier Geekbench results have shown encouraging numbers: 3180 in single-core and 10058 in multi-core tests. These scores are comparable to other flagship devices focused on performance, like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, OnePlus 13, and iQOO 13, all of which also use the same chip. So, it seems that there’s nothing significantly wrong with the performance capabilities of Xiaomi’s upcoming camera-centric device.
Camera Setup Details
For those curious, the camera setup is likely to feature Sony’s 1″ Lytia LYT-900 as the main sensor, alongside a 200 MP Samsung ISOCELL HP9 periscope telephoto for long-range zoom and a 50 MP Sony IMX858 telephoto for short-range zoom. We have already seen the 200MP telephoto in the vivo X200 Pro (during hands-on), which enables that device to outperform the Galaxy S25 Ultra in long-range zoom. The same is anticipated for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
