Xiaomi has announced its 15 Ultra’s leading phone at a launch event in China, where it will be sold starting from 6499 yuan (about $ 893). The Android phone joins Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro for the company, which was sold there in October 2024. It is mostly a repetitive upgrade last year, but the great change is to add a 200 -megapixel Periscope camera that says the company in a low light. Series 15, including Ultra, get International launch this Sunday, March 2At the Global Conference in Barcelona. Exactly the markets that will be sold for sale in staying still seen, but a safe bet that this will not come to the United States.
The Xiaomi Ultra line has always been centered around the camera, even more than Samsung or Apple models, and 15 Ultra is not different. Love 14 Ultra last yearThe Quartet rear camera is designed in a huge circular unit against the background of the phone. It is designed to resemble the camera devices for his partner in photography, up to the silver and black finish with a tone, and the compressed “Ultra” corner logo found in one of the three versions of the phone. There are also simpler black or white models.
The surrounding lens is followed by 200 MP 4.3x Periscopes in Vivo X100 Ultra and X200 Pro, and Honor’s Magic 7 Pro. This is a shorter enlargement than Periscope 5X on the 14 Ultra, but it uses a larger sensor, a faster opening, and higher accuracy, which says Xiaomi causes better lighting, which leads to improvements in photography for zooming, especially in the lower light. Even Xiaomi has even been registered with the name “Night God”, it is clear that low -light photography is the axis of this year.
The other three rear sensors are all 50 megapixels, and are prepared similar to the model last year, albeit with small differences. The most merit of observation is for the main camera, which dropped the changing aperture technology that appeared on the previous model in favor of F/1.63 fixed – but fast – f/1.63.
Photography concentration is enhanced by the third generation version of Xiaomi Photography kitAn additional optional includes a box and grip of the camera. In addition to the completion of the new red color, much has not changed here as well: the interior battery is slightly larger at 2000 mAh per hour (which allows this to double as a small energy of the phone), and there is a new comfort for the thumb, but the basic camera control tools remain as it is: a shutter button, a video button, the zoom crane, and the connection to exposure.
In addition to the inevitable upgrade to the Snapdragon 8 SIM group, there are a few other promotions or design changes. 6.73 inch screen again 1-120 Hz but a little brighter at 3200 nits peak HDR Brightness. The IP68 classification also returns. 6000 mAh battery is much larger, but wire charging 90W and 80 watts has not changed. As with other pioneers in Android, there is no sign of Qi2’s dependence.
I believed that the 14 Ultra was the best phone camera last year at a distance, and my colleague Alison called “Dream of Photography,” So Xiaomi has placed itself a high bar to relax. This was a strong camera, it is understood that the company has maintained changes to the minimum this time. But we look forward to knowing if it was one big upgrade, The Periscope, will be delivered.
