Features of Xiaomi 15 Ultra
Equipped with a 200-megapixel telephoto camera. Quad camera system jointly developed with Leica
Xiaomi 15 Ultra uses Leica Camera’s top-of-the-line LEICA VARIO-SUMMILUX optical lens. Summilux’s large aperture and excellent optical performance preserve beautiful details even in low light, providing excellent color reproduction, contrast and resolution.
The most innovative Leica 200MP super telephoto camera has an industry-leading focal length of 100mm, making it easy to capture distant subjects. The combination of a 1/1.4-inch large sensor and an F2.6 aperture allows it to capture 136% more light than the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. This high-performance telephoto camera allows you to take pictures regardless of the shooting distance or lighting conditions.

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra main camera is equipped with an industry-leading 50MP Sony LYT-900 image sensor (1-inch type) for exceptional clarity and detail. Paired with a Leica Summilux optical lens, the camera features variable focal lengths of 23mm, 28mm, and 35mm with an F1.63 aperture and a high dynamic range of 14EV. These elements combine to deliver outstanding performance in low-light and nighttime scenes, capturing vivid, high-fidelity images.

For portraits and street photography, the 70mm floating telephoto camera captures natural, beautiful photos. The large image sensor also excels in macro photography, capturing fine details with telemacro capability up to about 10cm.

Designed for creative professionals seeking the pinnacle of mobile device photography, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra features 14mm to 200mm optical level zoom. Its top-of-the-line optical design features a main camera equipped with an 8P aspherical high transmittance lens, enhanced with dual anti-reflective (AR) coating, bringing users pure optical performance.
Street Snap: An even better Leica experience
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s fast shot mode has been further upgraded. It covers six focal lengths from about 23mm to 135mm. The rangefinder-like UI is more authentic, the shutter button icon can be customized, and the aspect ratio can be set to “3:2”. In addition, with a high-speed shooting speed of about 0.7 seconds, you can get the possibility to create your work without missing a sudden shutter opportunity.

The ultimate videography and cinematic creation experience
Xiaomi 15 Ultra takes videography to the next level, with a 4K 120fps main camera and periscope telephoto camera for dynamic, cinematic slow-motion video capture. Equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS), the main camera effectively reduces camera shake and maintains professional image quality even in challenging environments.
In addition, Xiaomi 15 Ultra supports Dolby Vision at 4K 60fps and 10-bit Log video capture at all focal lengths. As the first ACES product partner for Android, it further enhances professional video capture, providing industry-leading color accuracy and cinema-quality image quality. The four-microphone array offers omnidirectional, forward, backward and trajectory recording modes for immersive audio recording. It provides users with superior video capture capabilities for high-quality editing and color grading, and delivers a more creative workflow for video production.
Flagship Processing Performance
The Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Platform installed in the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has improved CPU performance by 45% and GPU performance by 44% compared to the previous generation. Graphics performance has reached a new level, and power consumption has been significantly improved by 46%. In addition, the Xiaomi IceLoop cooling system is installed, achieving an unparalleled level of smoothness in photo and video shooting, real-time AI utilization, and games that require graphic processing.
