Xiaomi Set to Launch Dual Innovations: SU7 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra
At the conclusion of this month, Xiaomi is gearing up for the highly anticipated debut of its innovative vehicle, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra. This unveiling is expected to occur alongside another groundbreaking product – the camera-centric Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Initially, this flagship smartphone will likely be introduced in China before expanding globally in a matter of days.
Awaiting Official Launch Details
While an exact launch timeline has yet to be revealed by the company, it has confirmed that an Ultra variant will hit the market shortly. In anticipation of this release, Xiaomi has begun sharing teasers; one noteworthy image features CEO Lei Jun captured using a sophisticated 100mm lens equipped with an f/2.6 aperture.
Camera Specs and Innovations
The details highlighted in the teaser image do not specify resolution, although it appears that this shot was taken in a 12MP mode. This photograph seems to originate from what is rumored to be a cutting-edge 200MP periscope camera utilizing a Samsung HP9 sensor paired with a 4.3x zoom lens – which corresponds accurately with a focal length typically found at around 100mm.
The speculated setup for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra includes multiple advanced cameras: a primary shooter boasting a remarkable 50MP (equipped with a Sony Lytia 900 sensor), alongside another 50MP telephoto lens offering up to three times optical zoom (IMX858), and a wide-angle lens also rated at 50MP (Samsung JN5). These configurations bear resemblance to three cameras on its predecessor, albeit with some variations; however, it’s clear that the standout feature for this year is indeed its upgraded periscope lens which supersedes last year’s model’s less powerful telephoto option.
Market Performance Insights
In his latest Weibo update featuring insights on both vehicles—the currently successful SU7 (which recently surpassed shipments of over160,000 units)—and forthcoming products like SU7 Ultra and Xiaomi’s flagship phone B20 leveragin Leica optics XL—CEO Lei Jun underscored impressive sales growth stating: “We are second place within China’s market sector after being recognized as first-rate regarding monthly growth percentage surging past over forty percent.” He further expressed confidence in their high-end flagship capabilities proclaiming significant advancements particularly in low-light photography scenarios.
