  • A new report reveals significant camera upgrades coming to the upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
  • The phone will feature an upgraded Sony sensor for the primary camera, a new 4K Cinematic video mode, and upgraded slow-motion capabilities.
  • It is expected to include a new 200MP telephoto camera with the option for 10x lossless zoom through in-sensor technology.

Although the Xiaomi 14 Ultra never reached US shores, its European debut has cemented its reputation as one of the finest camera smartphones available. Xiaomi appears to be setting the stage for an even more impressive follow-up with the upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

A new report from Smartprix sheds light on the possible camera upgrades we might see in the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. The most exciting change seems to be an “upgraded” version of the Sony LYT-900 sensor. This upgraded sensor is expected to bring several improvements, particularly in low-light situations where the 14 Ultra’s camera was already a strong performer.
