Xiaomi 15 Ultra Specs Leaked: Aggressive Imaging Capabilities Aim for 2025 Flagship Benchmark

Ultra flagship phones, while not high-volume sellers, have become a stage for major smartphone manufacturers to showcase their capabilities and a top choice for users seeking the ultimate experience. Xiaomi has significantly strengthened its position in the high-end market in recent years, and the success of the Xiaomi 15 and its Pro variant has generated immense anticipation for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Recently, some specifications of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra have been confirmed, with its imaging capabilities being particularly noteworthy, potentially setting a new benchmark in mobile photography.

According to online leakers, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra's imaging system is incredibly aggressive, exhibiting outstanding performance in all-focal-length zoom and macro tests, delivering sharp and clear images at both near and far distances. While currently in the testing phase, with an expected release date of February 2025, this testing likely focuses on OTA software optimization rather than hardware adjustments. The best photographic experience will be delivered via a major software update after the official launch. If hardware adjustments are necessary, the release date may be pushed back.

Beyond the leaker's claims, the core imaging specifications of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra are relatively clear. Its rear camera features a Leica quad-camera setup including:

• 50MP Sony ultra-large sensor main camera: Featuring a switchable F1.6/F2.2 aperture and CMOS shift stabilization, offering excellent light capture and image quality.

• 50MP portrait telephoto lens: Providing clear telephoto shooting capabilities.

• 200MP periscope telephoto lens: Equipped with a large 1/1.4-inch sensor and high resolution, supporting 3.7x optical zoom, 4.3x hybrid zoom, and even higher digital zoom capabilities.

• 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens: Ensuring a wide field of view and high-quality imaging.

Leica's image certification and Xiaomi's Imaging Brain algorithm will further enhance the overall performance of the imaging system, delivering an ultimate experience for users seeking high-quality photography.

Beyond the imaging system, other specifications of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra are gradually emerging:

• Display: A 2K deep four-curved screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, high-frequency eye protection PWM dimming, and ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking, offering a smooth and comfortable visual experience.

• Design: Expected to retain the circular camera module design, but with adjustments to details such as camera arrangement. It will likely feature a metal frame and a new back material, enhancing texture and feel.

• Processor: Equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (likely referring to the top-tier variant, potentially named "Supreme Edition" or similar), up to 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB storage option, meeting users' demands for ultimate performance. The combination of LPDDR5X and UFS4.0 will deliver smooth running speeds and excellent performance.

• Battery and Charging: While early reports suggested a 5400mAh battery, the latest information points to a potential upgrade to 6000mAh or more. Combined with 90W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging, it aims to alleviate battery anxiety.

• Other Features: Supports two-way satellite communication, NFC, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 7, and includes infrared remote control, dual speakers, an X-axis linear motor, and IP68/69 dust and water resistance, comprehensively enhancing the user experience.

• Operating System: Pre-installed with MIUI 15 (or a similarly named OS), expected to be fully optimized by the February 2025 launch.

In summary, based on the currently available information, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra appears to have very few shortcomings, showcasing a "stacked" specification sheet, continuing Xiaomi's consistent high-value-for-money approach. Against the backdrop of fierce competition in the 2024 smartphone market, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to surprise with its pricing strategy and self-developed technologies to enhance its market competitiveness. Facing strong competitors like the vivo X200 Ultra, OPPO Find X8 Ultra, and Huawei P80 Ultra, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will need to demonstrate even stronger competitiveness to stand out in the market.

Finally, considering the starting price of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra at 6499, and the price increase for the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro, how Xiaomi will adjust the pricing of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is a topic worthy of attention and discussion.
