As part of the MWC trade fair starting in Barcelona, Xiaomi announced the start of global distribution of Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Ultra smartphones. What are the characteristics of the new flagships and how are they priced?

Xiaomi 15

Xiaomi 15 is the main flagship series, based on the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, supported by LPDDR5X and UFS 4.0 memory. The smartphone also has a 6.36-inch CrystalRes AMOLED display with a resolution of 2670 x 1200 pixels and an image refresh rate adjustable in the range of 1-120 Hz. The screen brightness reaches 3200 nits, and its diagonal makes the smartphone compact - of course by modern standards. The dimensions of the housing are 152.3x71.2x8.08/8.48 mm (depending on the color version), and its interior is protected against dust and moisture at the IP68 level. Power is provided by a 5240 mAh battery with 90-watt wired charging and 50-watt induction. The photographic zone is opened by a 32-megapixel selfie camera with an f/2.0 aperture, while the main rear camera is a 50-megapixel Light Fusion 900 1/1.31" matrix with a lens in three focal lengths of 23 mm, 28 mm and 35 mm, an f/1.62 aperture and optical image stabilization. Next, we have a 50-megapixel JN1 camera with a 21 mm focal length, an f/2.2 aperture and a 115-degree field of view, and the set is completed by the JN5 module, this time with a 60 mm telephoto lens, an f/2.0 aperture, again with optical stabilization. The smartphone's equipment is complemented by, among others, an ultrasonic fingerprint reader and stereo speakers, NFC and eSIM. The smartphone is available in three colors and two memory configurations: 12 + 256 and 12 + 512 GB.

The top flagship Xiaomi 15 Ultra is also equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, but this time in a set with LPDDR5X and UFS 4.1 memory, but still with the HyperOS 2 system along with the previously mentioned solutions using AI. Xiaomi 15 Ultra is, however, a significantly larger model. It measures 161.3x75.3x9.35/9.48 mm and weighs 226 or 229 g, depending on the finish. This model already has a 6.73-inch AMOLED screen, with a resolution of 3200 x 144u pixels and a refresh rate of 1-120 Hz, and a brightness of up to 3200 nits and 1920 Hz PWM dimming. This model is powered by a 5410 mAh battery, charging with a wired power of 90, and inductively - 80 W. As in the basic model, the front camera is 32-megapixel, but it is at the back that things get really interesting - and not only because of the unusual design of the photographic island. The main camera is a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-900 sensor with an f/1.63 aperture and optical image stabilization, and variable focal lengths of 23 mm, 28 mm, 35 mm, while the wide-angle camera is a 50-megapixel JN5 unit, with an f/2.2 aperture and a 115-degree field of view. Next, we find two more cameras with telephoto lenses and optical image stabilization. The first lens works with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX858 sensor and has an equivalent focal length of 70 mm and an f/1.8 aperture, and also has a macro function (from 10 cm). The second telephoto lens is a periscopic lens with a 100 mm focal length and an f/2.6 aperture - and works with a 200-megapixel HP9 sensor. The device uses Xiaomi's advanced Guardian structure, including Xiaomi Shield Glass 2.0, which provides better resistance to falls. In addition, a durable aluminum frame, made in CNC technology, provides a lightweight but solid construction, and Gorning Gorilla Glass 7i additionally protects the camera from damage and scratches. This model also features NFC, eSIM, stereo speakers and an ultrasonic fingerprint reader, and there are three color variants and two memory sets to choose from: 16 + 512 GB and 16 GB + 1 TB. Their prices start at EUR 1,499. Customers who order the smartphone between March 2 and March 16 will receive a Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 as a gift.
