The global launch of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is just days away. Today, the phone’s Chinese version (via Android Headlines) was announced, confirming many recent rumors that could be carried over to that international version.

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra features Qualcomm’s latest chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The announced models include 12GB or 16GB of RAM with 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage.

The phone features a 6.73-inch WQHD+ (3200 x 1440) LTPO AMOLED flat display, designed with a quad micro-curved shape and covered by a curved glass. This display features an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1 to 120Hz, with a peak brightness of 3,200 nits. The phone’s frame remains flat throughout.

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra has a 6,000mAh battery that supports 90W wired charging, 80W wireless charging, and 18W reverse wireless charging.

The handset’s standout feature is likely its large camera module on the back, which has been widely rumored. This setup includes four cameras: three with 50 megapixels each and one with 200 megapixels.

The primary 50-megapixel camera features a 1-inch Sony sensor, an aperture f/1.63, and optical image stabilization (OIS). The second 50-megapixel camera is a telephoto lens with a 3x optical zoom and a 70mm focal length. It also features OIS.

The third 50-megapixel camera is an ultra-wide lens with an aperture of f/2.2 and a field of view of 115 degrees. Finally, the 200-megapixel telephoto camera uses a periscope design, featuring a sensor measuring 1/1.4 inches and an aperture of f/2.6. On the front, there is a 32-megapixel selfie camera.

The Chinese version of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra comes in four color combinations: Black, White, Chrome, and Green/Silver. The Chrome model features metallic and black colors with black vegan leather, while the Green/Silver version uses green vegan leather.

If you were hoping for a massive camera leap in the next iPhone, you may have to wait longer. According to prolific Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station, Apple has already tested a 200MP periscope telephoto camera for the iPhone. But actual adoption is still at least a couple of years away, with 2028 being the earliest realistic window (via MacRumors).

Apple has previously prioritized optical flexibility and low-light performance over chasing raw resolution numbers. The iPhone 18 Pro, for instance, is expected to arrive with a 48MP main camera featuring variable aperture, plus a 48MP telephoto camera with a longer focal length and a larger aperture.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8 foldable might disappoint with its battery situation
The foldable could bring small changes elsewhere, but battery convenience may remain a weak spot
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4.

Samsung's next flip-style foldable is shaping up as a careful update, which isn't great news for anyone hoping the company would finally tackle one of the line's most obvious weak spots.

That tradeoff has followed the Flip series for years. Samsung has sold the appeal of a compact foldable design well, but buyers have often had to accept a few practical compromises in return, and battery convenience has stayed near the top of that list.
