Xiaomi withdrew the curtains from its brand new series 15 before MWC 2025, which starts in Barcelona on Monday. The last series 15 includes the compact Xiaomi 15, the successor to the 14th and the big boy, 15 Ultra – the “Pinnacle” camera smartphone from the company. As expected, the two phones are delivered with Leica adjustment cameras. The partnership between Xiaomi and Leica for images technology has entered its fourth year, and we hope to see more premium smartphones focused on the future. Until now, companies have developed 21 products jointly covering five regions and 100 countries.
We do not yet know the price of India and should wait until March 11, when Xiaomi reveals the prices of the series 15. In Europe, the Xiaomi 15 begins at 999 EUR (approximately Rs. 91,000), and the price of 15 Ultra is set at EUR 1,499 (approximately Rs. 1.36,000). Since they are successors in series 14, we expect these two phones to be available in more or less the same basic figure.
Xiaomi 15: Bring Snapdragon Elite Soc to a compact factor
Xiaomi 15 brings the compact factor familiar with its predecessor, Xiaomi 14. And, beware, this is one of the greatest highlights of the 15. The shape factor is such that you can keep it easily in one hand, and it is incredibly light, because it weighs less than 200 grams and measures 8.08 mm thick. It sports an aluminum frame of aerospace quality which wraps around the Xiaomi 15. The smooth edges are well in your palms, giving an incredible hand feeling, and a monohull design adds to the global character of the compact device. The decorative camera is again something that will remind you of the 14. The weight distribution is also balanced, but more on this subject, because I spend more time with the device.
He obtains the right suite of features that you expect from a modern flagship product, including an IP68 note. The 15 is available in three subtle colors this year – black, green and white. I had the white that looks elegant. The 6.36-inch screen with ultra-thin glasses offers more screen space, and it looked sufficiently shiny in the limited time that I spent with the 15. The Xiaomi 15 finally obtains the fingerprint sensor with ultrasonic, which seemed catchy in my initial use. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 elite propels it, so we can expect it to offer flagship quality performance identification information. However, I will reserve any verdict regarding the display and performance of the exam.

The camera is one of the strengths of the Xiaomi 15, and it has a triple camera configuration with a 900 megapixel fusion image sensor with an f / 1.62 opening and an Ois of 50 megapixels of 60 mm floating sensor and a field of vision with 115 degrees of 50 megapixels. The application of the camera is the same as last year, with updates like a brand new Sunset portrait mode added this year, which seemed interesting during the opening announcement. The initial camera test gave me incredible appearance photos.
At the front, there is the selfie sensor of 32 megapixels. The battery department probably has the largest update because it has a larger battery than its predecessor, 14. The 15 contains a 5240 mAh battery with a 90 W hypercharing support. A more in -depth approach to the camera and the battery in our examination.
Of course, we are in 2025 and will not have a product launch event without AI. Xiaomi 15 contains a series of AI features, which I will break down in my exam. The best news is that Google Gemini is integrated into Xiaomi 15, which extends the horizon for users. There is Xiaomi Hyperos 2 based on Android 15 on board.
Overall, the Xiaomi 15 looks like an excellent upgrade in the Xiaomi 14, but we will reserve our verdict for the exam, so stay attentive.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra: camera beast
Now jumping on the beast of a device – Xiaomi 15 Ultra, a smartphone designed for professional photographers. Yes, consider it to face people like Vivo X200 Pro. The 14 Ultra was the first ultra Xiaomi device that has become global, and now the 15 Ultra is its successor this year. The company’s intentions are clear: do not miss the ultra-primium public.
It is available in a single 16 GB and 512 GB storage model
From the design, color and design of Xiaomi 15 Ultra are inspired by the traditional professional camera and use materials such as aerospace quality fiber. He has small elements like an ultra watermark just above the camera case. The decoration of the camera was integrated into the back of the device, which gives it a more transparent appearance.
Compared to the 14 Ultra, the 15 Ultra camera housing is larger and the phone is available in chrome, white and black silver colors. I got silver chrome, which looks like the best color variant this year. The phone obtains an IP68 rating.
It has a 6.73 -inch AMOLED WQHD screen with a cutting -edge brightness of 3,200 NIGNES, a 120 Hz cooling rate and a 522 ppi pixel density
Xiaomi 15 Ultra has a symmetrical curved glass on four sides for a more comfortable hand sensation. At 229 grams, the phone is heavier. It has an AMOLED WQHD + 6.73 inch display with a maximum brightness of 3,200 nignes, a 120 Hz refreshment rate, an HDR10 + and Dolby vision. In my time limited with the device, it is among the best screens that I have never seen on any Xiaomi phone. But I will reserve this submission until I can test the phone more.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra sports a configuration to triple camera
The manual feeling of the smartphone is solid and I was more comfortable using it without breaking a box on the top. The 15 Ultra will be available in a 16 GB and 512 GB storage variant in India. With Snapdragon 8 Elite Soc under the hood, the 15 Ultra joined the Elite club of flagship phones for performance references. In my first time, the phone managed almost very very very quite all and quickly opened the applications. The multitasking worked like a breeze. For the battery department, Xiaomi installed a 5410mAh battery and supports the hypercharing of 90w wired and an 80W wireless hypercharge. Again, I will reserve my verdict for our exam.

Now the fun part comes – cameras! He has a configuration to four cameras with a 50 megapixel primary sensor, a 200 megapixel telephoto lens sensor, a floating telephoto lens sensor of 50 megapixels and an ultra-large 50 megapixel sensor. Of course, the 15 Ultra has a regular suite of Leica styles that improve the global experience. This also obtains the 1 inch sensor and the f / 1.63 opening. There is a 32 megapixel selfie camera. In my time limited with the device, the 15 Ultra looks like a fantastic successor of the 14 Ultra in terms of camera upgrades. But I can decompose it more in my criticism.
It also works on Hyperos 2, based on Android 15. It has a series of AI features on board, which I will test and detail in my review, so stay attentive.
Disclosure: Xiaomi India sponsored the flights and the hotel of the correspondent for the event in Barcelona.
