Our current favorite camera phone is about to get a successor

One of our favorite camera phones of 2024 is about to receive a successor, and the launch could happen sooner than expected. In a post on Weibo (via Gizmochina), Lu Weibing, Xiaomi’s president and general manager, said the Xiaomi 15 Ultra would launch shortly after the Chinese Spring Festival, which begins next week.  This suggests we’ll be seeing an announcement sometime in February. A previous rumor about the Xiaomi 14 Ultra successor said the new flagship wouldn’t launch until March.

One of the standout features of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has been its impressive camera system, and the new model shows great promise in this area as well. The rear camera system of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to include a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, and a 50-megapixel wide-angle camera.

As with previous Xiaomi phones, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will likely include a circular camera module on the back, a quad micro-curved display, and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
