After so much speculation, we finally have the Xiaomi 15 Ultra among us, the best device created by Xiaomi. This terminal has been presented in China for the moment, but it will be available globally on March 2 at the MWC in Barcelona, as the manufacturer has already commented previously.
This device arrives once again to face the giant Galaxy S25 Ultra, as well as other flagships such as the OnePlus 13. It comes with great improvements in the photography section and could become the best in this aspect.
Main details of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra
As you can see, this terminal maintains a very familiar design for fans of the brand, although the arrangement of the sensors now has a quite particular and even controversial look. The only thing that makes sense of this change is the huge circle that we see on the back. Moving on to the technical aspects, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the best Qualcomm processor. This component is accompanied by versions of 12 and 16GB of RAM, along with storage options of 256GB, 512GB and up to 1TB UFS 4.0.
The display is a 6.73-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a variable refresh rate of 1 to 120 Hz. Of course, it features the best in display technology, such as Dolby Vision certification, HDR10, HDR10+ and a maximum brightness of 3,200 nits, so there is nothing to fault in this department.
As for autonomy, the Chinese version of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra incorporates a 6,000mAh battery, although strong rumors suggest that the global version will arrive with a 5,300mAh battery, something difficult to understand at this point. Fast charging is 90W via cable and 80W wirelessly.
A photographic system at the height
At the back, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra packs a 50-megapixel main sensor with f/1.63 aperture, followed by a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with f/1.8 aperture. The third sensor is a 50-megapixel wide-angle with f/2.6 aperture. However, the real game-changer is the 200-megapixel periscopic zoom, which promises excellent performance, especially in low-light capture.
We are looking at a device that competes with the best premium smartphones in mobile photography. In fact, many argue that we are looking at the definitive device in this section. In addition, it is important to note that these sensors are backed by Leica.
Price and availability
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is now officially available in China, with a base price of 854 euros for the version with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Its price in the global market is expected to reach 1,000 euros, depending on the chosen configuration.
