Xiaomi 15 Ultra Launch Date Surfaces with Hands-On Video Leak

Xiaomi’s 15 Ultra is shaping up to be a feature-rich smartphone. Xiaomi has yet to confirm an official launch date, but a company rep recently hinted that the camera-centric flagship will arrive in February. A previous leak claimed that the device will feature a unique rear camera setup and will make its global debut at MWC 2025 in March. New information about its launch, including a leaked poster and a brief design video, has now leaked.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra Launch Date Leaks Alongside Hands-On Video, Revealing Redesigned Camera and Familiar Design

The poster is from Weibo, spotted by GizmoChina. It seems real and fits with past leaks, but lack of any official source posted, so the information should be taken with caution. The poster features the phrase “New Classic” (translated), implying an evolution of the previous Ultra model. The leak also corroborates a February 26th launch event at 19:00 hrs in China, in line with previous reports that pointed to a late February release.

A very short leaked video is also present as part of the poster, giving us a glimpse at the rear design of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. The clip, which lasts just seconds, shows a rear panel with rounded corners like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. However, the arrangement of the rear cameras seems different. The Leica’s branding sits on the top-left, while a 1-inch sensor sits on the right, alongside two periscope telephoto cameras and an ultrawide lens. This layout represents a significant departure from the square camera configuration on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

A previous leak also showcased a similar design in a slightly blurry image, and the alignment of the cameras in both leaks matches, suggesting this could be the Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s final form. According to earlier reports, the phone will feature an industry-first combination of a 1-inch type sensor and a 200-megapixel camera, making it a standout in smartphone photography.
