The 15 Ultra may have cleared the final hurdle to debut worldwide as Xiaomi's latest top-end Android smartphone. It has been spotted under the international version of its alleged model number as a new addition to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database. Meanwhile, its optional Photography Kit grip has also reportedly been certified in China.

The 15 Ultra is projected to launch as Xiaomi's latest powerhouse smartphone with the same Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC as rivals such as the OnePlus 13 and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Now, it seems it is ready to debut with an FCC ID of 2AFZZPN30G, based on the model number 25010PN30G as uncovered in a previous leak. 

This fresh evidence of the 2025 Leica-branded camera flagship seems to affirm its support for 5G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and NFC. It is also thought to support additional connectivity features such as satellite calling in China.

The new leak does not reveal anything else about the smartphone, however, its design or battery capacity included. It is predicted to look much like its 14 Ultra predecessor nonetheless, albeit with a glittery new finish resembling some concrete surfaces in its hands-on leak.

The 15 Ultra is also thought to mimic its forebear in launching alongside a Photography Kit: an almost case-like accessory rated to make the smartphone's use even more like that of a 'real' Leica camera.

The latest version of the gadget is said to have the model number 25017PSB6S following its registration by the regulator 3C.

The leak suggests that the Kit has its own battery that can charge at up to 15 watts (W), although it may provide a trickle charge to the 15 Ultra itself at a rate of just 5W. 

Meanwhile, the 14 Ultra is still available on Amazon, now starting at $1,045.
