  • A leaker suggests a Xiaomi 15 Ultra could land in January 2025.
  • This would directly compete with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is also expected in the same month.
  • This suggests the “Ultra” phone isn’t going anywhere next year.

For a few years now, the best Android phones have often had the word “Ultra” in the name. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra () is one of the best phones you can currently get. There have even been rumors that Apple could rebrand its “Pro Max” iPhone to an “Ultra” this year, meaning we could see an iPhone 16 Ultra. We’ll find out whether that’s true or not in September.

Meanwhile, leaker Yogesh Brar suggests we could see at least one other “Ultra” phone soon: the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. In a post on X, Brar says this phone could debut in January 2025 and launch at Mobile World Congress a few weeks later.
