In terms of design, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to feature a circular camera module on the back, along with a quad micro-curved display designed to provide vivid colors and engaging visuals. An ultrasonic fingerprint scanner could add an extra layer of biometric security for user access.

For performance, rumors suggest configurations of up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage, which may enhance multitasking and provide substantial space for applications, photos, and videos. There are also expectations for an improved stereo speaker setup for a better audio experience while gaming, streaming, or enjoying music. Additionally, the device may have a larger battery capacity than the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, aiming to extend usage time between charges, which could benefit users who prioritize longevity and photography.

A Chinese release of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra should follow soon after February 26 with an international release in March.
