Xiaomi 15 Ultra's new camera design is a head-turner

The Xiaomi 15 series is expected to debut this month. Although it’s part of the series, it’s rumored that the Ultra model will launch months later, likely in February of next year. Despite the release being months away, we have a new leak that reveals a few details we didn’t have before.

In cooperation with leaker Yogesh Brar, Smartprix has shared renders and specs of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. In the renders below, the device is shown in two color options: black and white. However, it’s not the colors that draw attention, but rather the distinct camera setup, which is the biggest part of the leak.

In what we’ll politely call a unique camera module, it features a circular camera bump with four lenses sitting inside. One shooter appears on top next to the Leica branding, while the other three are situated horizontally underneath.

According to the leak, the camera in the top right is a periscope zoom lens that boasts a 200MP resolution, a 4.3x optical zoom, and an f/2.6 aperture. This is quite a step up from the model that launched this year, which has a resolution of 50MP. The image sensor being used here comes from Samsung and is an ISOCELL HP9 1/1.4.

Meanwhile, the primary lens is said to be a 50MP Sony sensor. This main camera is flanked by 50MP ultrawide camera and a 50MP 2x telephoto lens. Last, but not least, it seems we can expect a 32MP selfie camera.

As for the other rumors, it’s claimed that the display is a 120Hz LTPO micro quad-curved display that measures 6.7 inches. While we didn’t know the specifics, this leak falls in line with earlier rumors of a 2K quad-curved screen. Something else that was rumored was a larger battery, which this leak claims the battery capacity has been increased to 6,000mAh. The last of the new information is the 90W wired and 80W wireless charging rate.

It seems we’re still missing price details. Based on the last few releases, we don’t expect to see any price hikes. But it’s not outside the realm of possibility.
