Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun revealed that the company's most premium phone will be launched on February 27 in China and March 2 in international markets.
"We will launch the two most premium products of Xiaomi in the 15 years of its establishment, which are Xiaomi SU7 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra," Lei Jun posted on his personal page with a photo of the Ultra logo and the back of the phone.
The SU7 Ultra is Xiaomi's high-end electric vehicle, introduced in China in October 2024 and will be launched globally with the 15 Ultra ahead of MWC 2025. Meanwhile, the 15 Ultra is a high-end phone, focusing on photography with a more Leica-style design than before. The leaked image shows that the product is inspired by the Leica M11 camera with a large, two-tone round camera module.
Last week, Xiaomi's smartphone director Lu Weibing also revealed the camera specifications of the 15 Ultra. The device has a 1-inch 50-megapixel main sensor, 23mm angle, f/1.63, a 50-megapixel super wide-angle camera with a focal length of 14mm, f/2.2, and a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with a focal length of 70mm, f/1.8. In addition, the device also has a 100mm super telephoto camera, capable of 200/400mm digital zoom up to 28x with a resolution of 200 megapixels.
On October 15, Mr. Lei Jun also posted photos taken by Xiaomi 15 Ultra with a 100mm focal length lens, showing good detail and color reproduction even in low light conditions.
Previous rumors also revealed that the Xiaomi phone will have a 2K curved screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, 6,000 mAh battery with 90W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging.
