Xiaomi has announced that the Xiaomi 15 series will be launched on October 29. This lineup will also include the Ultra model, set to be introduced in early 2025. While more information has been trickling out, we now have our first glimpse of the phone thanks to renders released by SmartPrix.
Eye-Catching Camera Design
The renders depict a prominent camera module on the rear, akin to its previous model. However, the arrangement of the lenses within the module is notable for its uneven lens layout.
Impressive Camera Specs
As per the source, the standout feature this year will be the single top camera. It boasts a 200-megapixel, 4.3x zoom periscope telephoto lens, a significant upgrade from the 50MP telephoto in the 14 Ultra. The image sensor is expected to be Samsung’s ISOCELL HP9. Below this lens, there are three more lenses arranged in a horizontal line—a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and another 50-megapixel 2x telephoto sensor. The front camera is anticipated to have 32 megapixels.
Display and Build Options
Rumored features for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra include a 6.7-inch, 120Hz LTPO OLED display with slightly curved edges. The display will also integrate an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for easy and secure access. It is said that the 15 Ultra will be available in three different material finishes: plain leather, fiberglass, or ceramic, providing a range of choices to match various tastes and styles.
Performance and Battery Life
Under the hood, it is likely that the device will utilize the newest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset to ensure robust performance. There are also whispers of a 6,000mAh battery that supports both 90W wired and 80W wireless charging. On the software front, it’s expected to run Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0, which is based on Android 15.
Pricing details are still unknown. However, a price hike is anticipated for all Snapdragon 8 Elite devices this year. If the soon-to-be-released Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro experience a price increase, it’s reasonable to assume that a similar trend will occur for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
