Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro are confirmed to debut later this month, but there is no official word from the brand about the arrival of the Ultra model yet. Like the Xiaomi 13 Ultra and 14 Ultra, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is likely to go official early next year, a few months after the launch of the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro. While we wait for the formal announcement, leaked renders show us what the Xiaomi 15 Ultra flagship could look like. The renders also suggest a redesigned camera housing.

Tipster Yogesh Brar, in association with Smartprix, posted the first set of leaked renders showing the Xiaomi 15 Ultra in black and silver or white colourways. The device looks familiar to the predecessor model with a circular camera module with four lenses inside, but the arrangement is different to previous models.

A camera sensor is placed next to the Leica branding, which is seen on the top left of the module. The other three sensors are arranged horizontally underneath. The two flash LEDs are arranged horizontally at the top. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi logo is placed vertically at the bottom left of the phone.

The report states that the camera, placed at the top right, is a 200-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL HP9 1/1.4 periscope zoom lens with 4.3x optical zoom, and an f/2.6 aperture. This is a notable upgrade from the Xiaomi 14 Ultra's 50-megapixel camera.

Xiaomi's 15 Ultra is said to use a 50-megapixel Sony sensor as the primary camera. This main camera will reportedly be accompanied by a 50-megapixel ultra wide camera and a 50-megapixel 2x telephoto lens. It is expected to include a 32-megapixel selfie camera on the front.
