New Xiaomi 15 Ultra live image reveals Leica-inspired design

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is coming later this month, and we just saw another hands-on image of the phone.

It closely resembles previously leaked renders, but the placement of the camera lenses is not as aesthetically pleasing as we expected. Still, the new image shows us a back panel that is a quarter metal and three quarters leather, just like the classic design of a Leica camera.

We can see four cameras on the back, lined up in two rows – the top one is reserved for the 200 MP sensor and the periscope lens, and yes, it really needs that much room on the side. The second row is for the 1-inch type main cam, the 50 MP short-range telephoto and the 50 MP ultra-wide.

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra should have a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and run Android 15 with HyperOS 2 on top. The battery is expected to keep its 90W wired charging, but its capacity will reportedly grow to 6,000 mAh.

We'll know more in the final days of February, when the device should launch in China, followed by an MWC global unveiling in Barcelona, Spain.

You know what? I kinda like the design. I mean, if I were doing the pros and cons of this phone, I wouldn't count the design as a con, you know. I am fed up of Samsung and its fleet of look-alike galaxy phones.
