The Xiaomi 15 Ultra launch timeframe has just been tipped, and the phone’s 200MP camera detailed. This information comes from Digital Chat Station, one of the best-known tipsters out there.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra launch timeframe has appeared, along with 200MP camera details
Let’s start with the launch timeframe, shall we? While responding to a user question, he said that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is coming “after the New Year”, meaning the Chinese New Year, of course. That means after January 25.
He did not say when exactly, but this kind of points to the first quarter of the year, probably February. That makes all the sense in the world as the Xiaomi 14 Ultra also arrived in February, so… it fits.
The tipster also detailed the 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera that will be included on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. That camera will come with a 100mm lens, and allow for 4.3x optical zoom. We’re looking at an f/2.6 aperture here.
In addition to that periscope telephoto camera, the device will also include a 50-megapixel telephoto camera. That camera will offer a 3x optical zoom. It will be the same as on the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro.
The Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro are coming later this month
While the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is coming next year, its siblings, the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro will launch later this month. All three of those phones are expected to use Qualcomm’s new flagship chip. That processor will be announced soon, and it will be called either the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 or Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Based on the renders that we’ve seen recently, and the real-life image of the Xiaomi 15 Pro, Xiaomi will tweak the design a bit, but not much. It’s sticking with its design language from the Xiaomi 14 series.
Both of those smartphones will be quite powerful, though the ‘Ultra’ will trump them in the camera department. It will be a more versatile shooter, even though the ‘Pro’ model is getting a periscope telephoto camera too.
