The Xiaomi 15 Ultra has received a significant update to the camera unit. There are three sensors in the bottom row, and a new massive periscope is located above all other modules. During the presentation, it was reported that in addition to two-color options in the style of Leica cameras, there will be two of them.
The main camera is equipped with an inch Sony LYT-900 sensor and supports optical image stabilization (OIS). The TV has a 50-megapixel Sony IMX858 sensor with 3x optical zoom, OIS and macro mode. The periscope has a 200-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL HP9 sensor (1/1.4-inch size) that provides 4.3x zoom and supports "quality lossless zoom" up to 200mm and 400mm. The wide-angle camera uses a Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensor with autofocus.
The protective cover of the camera unit is made of Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, and the partnership with Leica facilitates the fine-tuning of the system.
The smartphone allows you to record 4K video at 60/120 frames per second and also supports 8K recording. It also supports ACES LOG technology and the UIS video stabilization system.
Xiaomi representatives emphasize the efficiency of the cooling system, which they say is superior to similar solutions in the iPhone. They also claim that the zoom photo quality of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra leaves more details and provides more saturated colors compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Three T1 chips are responsible for the stability of the connection. The global version of the model differs from the Chinese version with eSIM support and a smaller battery. The water and dust protection meets the IP68 standard, and the HyperOS system includes a set of Hyper AI functions. The smartphone can also be synced with iPhone, iPad or Mac devices for data transfer.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra has a new accessory that turns it into a camera-like device — a customizable shutter button, a separate 2000 mAh battery and IP54 protection.
The prices are:
- 12/256GB model is $895;
- 16/512GB model is $960;
- 16GB/1TB model is $1,070.
Contrary to expectations, the starting price has not changed compared to the previous generation. The global presentation of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will take place on March 2.
As a reminder, Xiaomi is improving its own HyperOS shell, but at the same time, some owners of the company's smartphones will be left without new versions. According to preliminary information, a list of devices that will not receive HyperOS 2.1 and 2.2 has been compiled.
We also wrote that users of Xiaomi smartphones find more and more new features in the HyperOS 2.0 shell. One of the most interesting was the ability to update the battery firmware to save battery power.
