As the hype around the Xiaomi 14 Ultra gradually subsides, news surrounding its next flagship, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, is starting to emerge. Recently, popular digital blogger @DigitalChatStation revealed that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will feature a 200MP periscope telephoto lens with a 100mm equivalent focal length, a maximum aperture of f/2.6, and support for 4.3x optical zoom.

It is said that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will retain the 1-inch 50MP sensor for its main camera. It will also be equipped with a 50MP floating telephoto macro lens and a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, forming a powerful quad-camera setup. Compared to the previous generation Xiaomi 14 Ultra, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra's imaging system will undergo a comprehensive upgrade, with the 200MP periscope telephoto lens undoubtedly being the highlight.

It is noteworthy that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra features a rear-mounted Leica full-focal length quad-camera system, including a one-inch variable aperture main camera (50MP, LYT-900 image sensor, 23mm equivalent focal length, f/1.63-f/4.0 stepless variable aperture), a Leica floating telephoto lens (50MP, IMX858 sensor, 75mm equivalent focal length), a Leica macro telephoto lens (50MP, IMX858 sensor, 120mm equivalent focal length), and a Leica ultra-low distortion wide-angle lens (50MP, IMX858 sensor, 12mm equivalent focal length).

In terms of the front camera, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to be upgraded to a 50MP selfie camera, an improvement over the previous generation's 32MP, offering users a clearer and more detailed selfie experience.

Aside from the imaging system, the core configuration of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is also worth looking forward to. According to leaks, it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor and equipped with a 6200mAh battery, providing users with stronger performance and longer battery life.

It's worth noting that before the official launch of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, Xiaomi is expected to release the new Xiaomi 15 series, including the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro at the end of this month. These two new phones have already passed the 3C certification, with model numbers being 24129PN74C and 2410DPN6CC respectively. It is said that both phones will support 90W fast charging. In terms of design, the Xiaomi 15 will adopt a straight screen design, while the Xiaomi 15 Pro will feature a curved display on all four sides.

In terms of specific configurations, the Xiaomi 15 is expected to feature a 6.3-inch 1.5K screen, support ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, a 50MP large-sensor main camera, and a telephoto lens. It will also support wireless charging and high-level dust and water resistance. The Xiaomi 15 Pro is expected to feature a 6.78-inch 2K curved display, a built-in 6000mAh battery, a thickness of around 8.5mm, and a weight of around 220g.
