Xiaomi 15 Ultra: The perfect smartphone for photographers
As we’ve seen for the last few generations, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra once again teams up with imaging experts Leica for its lenses, of which there a class-leading four found on the device. Once again, all four are Leica branded, giving you an indication of the high-quality optics.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s biggest upgrade lies under its huge camera module. It replaces the 50MP periscope camera (5x optical zoom) in favor of a 200MP periscope sensor (4.3x optical zoom), similar to the Vivo X200 Pro and the Honor Magic 7 Pro. Thehigher resolution also comes with a larger sensor and a faster aperture, which should result in better low-light photography.

The other three cameras are all 50MP but with a few differences from last year’s setup. For example, the 50MP main camera is still a 1-inch-type sensor but opts for a fixed f/1.6 aperture instead of variable aperture tech.
It is accompanied by a 50MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and a smaller 50MP ultrawide camera with a 115-degree field of view (versus 122 degrees on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra).

While the Chinese model packs a 6,000mAh battery, the global unit has a smaller 5,410mAh.
The power pack still takes 90W wired and 80W wireless HyperCharge. The other difference is the choice of colors. In Europe, we get White, Black, and the special Silver Chrome edition.That means the Pine Green special edition remains exclusive to China.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra packs the full-fledged Snapdragon 8 Elite with up to 16GB of RAM. The phone has a frame made of aluminum, upfront there’s Xiaomi’s Shield Glass 2.0, which is 16 times harder to crack from a drop per the company’s tests.
The back is a special glass fiber. The black model has a textured finish, while the white model has etching running in circular shapes from top to bottom. Both the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Ultra start at the same prices as their predecessors. The Xiaomi 15 is available in Black, White, and Mint and starts from €1,000 for the 12/256GB config. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s 16/512GB model is €1,500. Both models will go on sale on March 4.
