The Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be official starting tomorrow. In the meantime, the company has sanctioned an executive to delve into its next flagship to highlight the state of its new camera hardware, including its 200 MP periscope telephoto sensor.

Xiaomi executive Cici Lao Wei continues to share hands-on footage of the company's next flagship before its release tomorrow in China. Among several videos posted in the last few days is footage of a disassembled Xiaomi 15 Ultra that is put back together again, which we have embedded below.

As a result, it is already possible to glimpse some of the device's new hardware, including its mammoth telephoto camera. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra already has comparatively large cameras, including a Sony LYT-900 as its primary camera. Incidentally, a leaked specification sheet has confirmed Xiaomi has returned to the LYT-900 for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, which will afford the device a 50 MP native output and a 1-inch type optical format.

The rumoured 200 MP periscope telephoto camera is new, though. Based on the video below, the new 1/1.4-inch sensor looks much larger than the 50 MP equivalent used in the Xiaomi 14 Ultra (curr. $1,029 on Amazon). In fact, the 200 MP sensor appears to be about two-thirds the width of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra itself, which would make it roughly 50 mm wide. Please see the video below for more details.
