Xiaomi 15 Ultra is attracting attention with the latest information about the launch date and the unique design of a 100-year-old legend.
Expected to be introduced on February 27 in the Chinese market before its global launch at MWC 2025 taking place in Barcelona, Spain, on March 2, Xiaomi 15 Ultra will have three color options: white, black and a special two-tone black-white version. Of these, the third color option is heavily influenced by the legendary Leica camera.
The two-tone version is not just a color choice but a work of art, combining vegan leather and glass, which creates a luxurious and modern look. It is a design that is heavily inspired by Leica's legendary cameras, a fitting choice since Xiaomi has been collaborating with Leica for many years since Leica had to abandon Huawei due to the heavy impact of sanctions.
According to reports, this black and white two-tone version will be exclusive to the Xiaomi 15 Ultra model. In particular, this version is produced to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the launch of the Leica I, the first 35mm camera that completely changed the way photography was taken at the Leipzig Spring Fair in 1925.
As the first mass-produced 35mm camera, the Leica I revolutionized photography, making it more accessible and dynamic. The camera is a symbol of creativity in photography, opening up new eras for genres such as reportage and documentary photography.
This anniversary event for the Leica I will be celebrated around the world under the theme “100 Years of Leica: Witnessing a Century”, with cultural events and special product launches. That is exactly why Xiaomi has decided to create a special edition of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra as a way to honor Leica’s heritage and affirm its position in the smartphone industry.
With the perfect combination of advanced technology and Leica's cultural heritage, Xiaomi 15 Ultra promises to be one of the most outstanding products in 2025 to live up to the expectations that Leica I achieved 100 years ago.
