Xiaomi launched the 15 Ultra in February 2025 as its camera flagship for that year. It is built around a 1-inch main sensor, two telephoto cameras (3x and 4.3x) and Leica-tuned lenses. It is aimed at people who treat their phone as their main camera. Its replacement, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, arrived in early 2026 and is also in stock, so the price gap between the two matters more than usual.

Why buy the Xiaomi 15 Ultra
- Two dedicated zoom cameras. A 3x lens for portraits and a 4.3x periscope with a 200MP sensor for distant subjects. The newer 17 Ultra drops to a single telephoto, so the 15 Ultra still has the wider spread of fixed zoom options.
- 1-inch main sensor. The large sensor gathers more light, which helps at evening events and indoor functions where smaller phone cameras get noisy.
- Sharp QHD+ screen. At 1440 x 3200 it has more pixels than the 17 Ultra’s panel, which you notice when editing photos on the phone.
- Fast wireless charging. 80W wireless, alongside 90W by cable, is quicker than most phones manage on a pad.
- Still flagship speed. The Snapdragon 8 Elite handles heavy games and 8K video without strain.
