Xiaomi 15 Ultra camera and launch details tipped by prominent leaker
Xiaomi will be among the first brands to launch smartphones featuring the next-gen Snapdragon 8 series SoC. The name of this 3nm mobile chipset has not been confirmed yet, but it may be called the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition, or Snapdragon 8 Elite. However, leaks around the phones that are expected to feature it are still rolling out in full force.
The latest one comes from Digital Chat Station, a prominent Weibo leaker, who shared some key information about the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. According to the tipster, the top-end phone will be launching after the Chinese New Year, which begins with the appearance of the new moon.
That suggests that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra could launch within the first quarter of 2025. This timeframe aligns with the launch timeline of its predecessor, which launched in February of this year.
Besides sharing the possible launch timeframe, Digital Chat Station has also reported on the periscope telephoto camera of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. It's said to be the same 200 MP Samsung HP9 sensor that's found in the Vivo X100 Ultra and the X200 Pro models. This periscope sensor is reported to offer 4.3x optical zoom.
As for the other three cameras, a previous leak suggested that the primary camera will be a Sony LYT-900 50 MP primary sensor, while the ultra-wide is said to be a 50 MP IMX858 sensor. The second telephoto will reportedly be a 50 MP IMX858 sensor. So, only the periscope telephoto camera may change in the upcoming flagship.
