The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is set to launch later this month, and a new hands-on image has surfaced, giving us a clearer look at its design. The phone closely resembles previous leaked renders, but the arrangement of the camera lenses isn’t as visually appealing as many had hoped. Despite this, the back panel features a distinctive design with a mix of metal and leather—about a quarter metal and three-quarters leather—paying homage to the classic look of Leica cameras.
The image reveals that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will feature four cameras arranged in two rows on the back. The top row includes the 200 MP primary sensor and a periscope lens, both of which require extra space. The second row consists of the 1-inch main camera, a 50 MP short-range telephoto lens, and a 50 MP ultra-wide lens. This camera setup indicates that Xiaomi is aiming for a high-quality photography experience with versatile capabilities.
Under the hood, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, ensuring top-tier performance. The device will run Android 15 with Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2 on top, which will likely bring new software features and optimizations. In terms of battery, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will maintain its 90W wired charging, but the battery capacity is expected to increase to 6,000 mAh, offering improved endurance.
The device is expected to be officially launched in China at the end of February, with a global unveiling set to take place during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain. As the launch approaches, more details will likely emerge, but for now, it’s clear that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be a flagship contender with impressive specs and a unique design.
