Quad Camera Setup Expected
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra, the anticipated successor to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, is already generating buzz with rumors about its advanced camera capabilities. According to a recent leak from the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to feature a quad rear camera setup. One of the standout features is tipped to be a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 4.x zoom, marking a significant upgrade over its predecessor. Another reliable source, Ice Universe, has also echoed this information, adding credibility to the rumor.
Comparison with Xiaomi 14 Ultra
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra, launched earlier this year at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, boasts a quad camera setup consisting of four 50-megapixel sensors, including a primary 50-megapixel Sony LYT900 camera with optical image stabilization (OIS). Additionally, it includes two 50-megapixel Sony IMX858 sensors with 3.2x and 5x optical zoom, and a fourth ultra-wide lens. On the front, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra sports a 32-megapixel selfie camera. The leap to a 200-megapixel telephoto camera in the Xiaomi 15 Ultra would signify a substantial improvement in zoom and image quality.

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra was introduced in India at a price of the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage version costs Rs.99,999. . Given the potential upgrades in the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, a similar or slightly higher price point is expected.
