Xiaomi is gearing up to take smartphone photography to the next level with its upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra. A new leak has surfaced, once again reaffirming the phone’s high-end camera setup, which could make it the ultimate mobile photography powerhouse.
While previous rumors have already hinted at its quad-camera system, this latest tip from a reliable source on X (formerly Twitter) suggests that Xiaomi is sticking to its ambitious camera strategy.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra Camera Setup: A Photographer’s Dream?
Here’s what to expect from the Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s cameras:
- 50MP Main Camera – Sony Lytia LYT-900 (1-inch sensor for superior low-light performance)
- 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera – Samsung ISOCELL JN5 (for expansive shots)
- 50MP 3x Telephoto Camera – Sony IMX858 (for optical zoom without quality loss)
- 200MP Periscope Camera – Samsung ISOCELL HP9 (4.3x optical zoom, seen on vivo’s X100 Ultra & X200 Pro)
This 200MP periscope sensor is the biggest leap in mobile photography, promising incredible detail and clarity for long-range zoom shots. If these specs hold true, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra could have the most powerful smartphone camera system on the market.
However, hardware is only part of the equation—Xiaomi’s image processing and software optimization will play a crucial role in determining real-world performance.
While the cameras steal the spotlight, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra isn’t just about photography. The device is rumored to feature:
⚡ Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset for top-tier performance
🔋 6,000mAh battery with 90W wired and 50W wireless charging
💾 16GB RAM + 512GB storage for seamless multitasking
📱 Android 15 with HyperOS 2.0 for a refined user experience
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to debut in China on February 26, with a global launch at MWC Barcelona shortly after. No word yet on a Malaysian release, but we’ll keep you updated.
Pokdepinion: I’m hoping the photography kit for its predecessor makes a return, and I hope they’ve somehow managed to improve it. I know I would get one in a heartbeat just because of it.
