The Xiaomi-Leica partnership, established in 2022, continues to flourish. Recent leaks suggest their collaboration will reach new heights with the upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra, possibly drawing design inspiration from the iconic Leica M11 camera.
A leaked hands-on image of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, reported by Innogyan (via Android Authority), reveals a striking resemblance to the Leica M11. Viewing the leaked image horizontally, as suggested by Android Authority, reveals the Xiaomi design influences more clearly. Leaker Smart Pikachu further emphasizes this connection by showcasing various color options alongside the Leica M11.
Earlier this week, rumors surfaced suggesting the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, successor to the popular Xiaomi 14 Ultra, might launch on February 26. The highly anticipated device is expected to boast significant camera upgrades, building upon its predecessor’s strengths.
Expected Camera Enhancements
The rumored camera setup includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor for capturing highly detailed images. A 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom caters to distant subjects. A 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens is designed for exceptional low-light performance and an impressive zoom range. Finally, a 50-megapixel wide-angle lens completes the setup, ideal for capturing expansive landscapes.
Performance and Processing Power
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to house Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, potentially shared with the standard and Pro models of the Xiaomi 15 series. This chipset, already featured in devices like the Samsung Galaxy S25 series and the OnePlus 13, promises efficient processing speeds and seamless multitasking.
Anticipation Builds for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra
The prospect of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra mirroring the leaked design generates considerable excitement. Dark blue or dark green variants would undoubtedly be visually appealing. With the rumored February 26 launch date approaching, the wait to see the final product is almost over.
