Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Launching at the End of the Month: A Double Ultra Flagship Assault

On February 5th, 2024, Lei Jun, founder of Xiaomi Group, officially announced the upcoming launch of the highly anticipated Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Xiaomi SU7 Ultra at the end of the month. This news quickly sparked heated discussions in the tech world. As the top flagship of Xiaomi's numbered series and the pinnacle of Xiaomi's automotive endeavors, the arrival of these two Ultra models will undoubtedly be a major event in this year's tech industry. This article will delve into the highlights of both products and their potential market impact.

01. Xiaomi 15 Ultra: Another Evolution of the Imaging Flagship

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to be the first Android flagship phone to launch after the Lunar New Year holiday. As early as January 24th, suspected real photos of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra circulated online, showcasing its new rear camera module design. Unlike the centrally symmetrical quad-camera layout of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra's flash has been moved to the upper middle, the Leica logo to the upper left, the periscope telephoto lens to the upper right, and the remaining three lenses are arranged horizontally below, surrounded by a red ring. This design change is likely to accommodate a new 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, rumored to use the Samsung ISOCELL HP9 sensor. The sensor's large module size necessitated a rearrangement of the lens layout.

Beyond the striking periscope telephoto lens, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra boasts comprehensive upgrades to its imaging system. Its main camera features a large 1-inch sensor with a large F1.63 aperture and a newly customized hardware module; the secondary camera is a 50MP small-sensor, large-aperture, upright mid-telephoto lens. The dual telephoto lenses support telemacro functionality with a minimum focusing distance of approximately 10cm. Furthermore, the coating on the large-aperture dual telephoto lens group has been updated. To further enhance the photographic experience, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra also comes with a professional photography grip, which has been approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's wireless radio certification and uses Bluetooth connectivity.

In terms of other specifications, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra makes no compromises. Leaks suggest it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, offering a 16GB+512GB storage version. Color options are expected to include black, white, and silver, with a possible two-tone version. Battery capacity is estimated to be around 6200mAh, supporting 90W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. Notably, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will also feature dual satellite communication technology, supporting Beidou satellite messaging and Tian Tong satellite calls. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra has already received 3C certification, with all necessary certificates in place, indicating an imminent launch.

Regarding pricing, given the general price increases of flagship phones last year, the price of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is highly anticipated. The four versions of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra were priced at 6499, 6999, 7799, and 8799 respectively. The pricing of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will depend on the final decision of Xiaomi executives. Pre-orders for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra began on the official website on the afternoon of February 5th, officially starting the countdown to its launch.

02. Xiaomi SU7 Ultra: Early Release, Hidden Motives?

The launch of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is equally anticipated. Lei Jun's announcement of the simultaneous release of the SU7 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra came as a surprise, as he previously indicated a March launch for the SU7 Ultra. This month-early release has sparked speculation about potential underlying reasons.

Starting February 5th, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra began static product appreciation activities in 112 stores across 42 cities nationwide, with dedicated "UltraMaster" product experts providing service to customers. Lei Jun also publicly stated a sales target of 10,000 units for the SU7 Ultra annually.

The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra completed its Ministry of Industry and Information Technology declaration on November 7th last year and has already appeared at press conferences and auto shows, making its information relatively clear. Here are some of its main specifications: Dimensions are 5070/5115mm1970mm1465mm (L/W/H), with a 3000mm wheelbase. Design-wise, it continues the family design language and adds a complete aerodynamic kit, featuring a low-slung design, U-shaped air knives, a large front splitter, air dams, an active diffuser at the rear, and a carbon fiber-fixed large rear wing. The interior features new sports seats, a carbon fiber sports steering wheel, and Alcantara microfiber material. Powertrain-wise, it boasts Xiaomi's Super Three-Motor System (two Super Motors V8s + one Super Motor V6s), delivering a maximum horsepower of 1548PS, a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 1.98s, and a top speed of 359.71km/h (as tested). Features include a Nrburgring-tuned chassis system, a closed-loop dual-chamber air spring, and high-performance damping variable dampers, with optional coilover dampers. Furthermore, users can also opt for the lightning livery and vented hood from the prototype car.

03. Xiaomi SU7: Quiet Upgrades, Attention to Detail

Since its launch, the Xiaomi SU7 has enjoyed strong sales, exceeding 135,000 deliveries in 2024 and over 20,000 units in January 2025, maintaining deliveries exceeding 20,000 units for four consecutive months. Despite this success, Xiaomi continues to upgrade it. Bloggers have discovered that the new interior of the Xiaomi SU7 features several detail upgrades, such as replacing the faux suede material on the four doors and dashboard trim with leather, which is easier to clean; optimized seats, with a softer driver's seat and a longer rear seat cushion, enhancing riding comfort; and upgrading the USB port on the rearview mirror from Type-A to Type-C, aligning with current electronic device needs. Some car owners reported that the rearview mirror already came with a USB-C port when they picked up their cars in January. Additionally, at the end of last year, Xiaomi SU7 added a "Rice Gray" interior option, available for free across the entire model range, and a limited-time offer of free Nappa leather worth 8000.

04. Anticipation for the Dual Ultra Launch Event, Filled with Surprises

As the launch date for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Xiaomi SU7 Ultra approaches, Xiaomi is expected to announce the specific date of the launch event in the middle of this month. Referring to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra launch event last year, in addition to the phone itself, products such as the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro, Xiaomi RedmiBook Pro 14/16 2024, and Redmi Display G Pro 27 were also launched. Therefore, the dual Ultra launch event is likely to unveil more new products, further enhancing the attention and anticipation surrounding the event.

In conclusion, the impending launch of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Xiaomi SU7 Ultra will undoubtedly be a major event in the 2024 tech world. Both products represent Xiaomi's highest level in their respective fields, and their final performance is highly anticipated.
