A SmartPrix report states that Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be equipped with an upgraded version of the Sony LYT-900 camera sensor which is found in the company’s flagship Xiaomi 14 Ultra model. With this, Xiaomi is reportedly aiming to improve the handset’s low-light performance.

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is also tipped to arrive with improvements to the Cinematic mode. Although it was introduced last year, the feature was limited to 1080p. However, the report suggests it may get upgraded to offer support for dedicated 4K video recording. A similar upgrade is also said to arrive for the slow-motion mode. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra may also sport a new 50-megapixel selfie camera, a big upgrade from the 32-megapixel shooter featured on its predecessor.
