Xiaomi has introduced its newest flagship, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, during a launch event in China. The device is equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and features a 6.73-inch LTPO display offering a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and a peak HDR brightness of 3,200 nits.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra Specifications and Price
The display is a 6.73-inch 3200x1440px AMOLED panel with a 1-120Hz refresh rate and up to 3,200 nits of brightness.
The most significant upgrade this year is the inclusion of a 200MP periscope camera with a 4.3x zoom, designed to enhance low-light photography. This replaces the 5x zoom lens of its predecessor
The main camera packs the same 1-inch type 50MP Sony LYT-900 imager with a 23mm lens, however this year, it’s a fixed f/1.63 aperture, not a variable f/1.6-f/4.0 one. The mid zoom option has the same 1/2.51-inch IMX858 sensor but the 75mm f/1.8 lens is replaced by a 70mm f/1.8 one.

The ultrawide is, on paper, a slight downgrade – where the Xiaomi 14 Ultra had a 12mm f/1.8 lens, the 15 Ultra moves to 14mm f/2.2 optic – both have the same 1/2.51-inch Samsung JN5 sensor.
The new battery features an industry-leading 10% silicon carbide content and its capacity has grown by 17% to 6,000mAh (global models are expected to have a 5,410mAh unit). It keeps the same 90W wired and 80W wireless charging support as the 14 Ultra, though.
Xiaomi will offer 4 generations of Android system updates and 6 years of security updates to the Xiaomi 15 series.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra launches in China today.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is priced at 6,499 yuan (approximately ₹78,024) in China. The company has confirmed that the smartphone will make its global debut on March 2 at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.
