- Hey!
Finally, my order of Xiaomi 15 Ultra has arrived.
This is the most premium smartphone for 2025 from Xiaomi.
And personally, my daily driver
is the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
And probably I might be able to tell you the differences
and the improvements from its predecessor.
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite,
together with a 6,000mAh of battery,
a big 200MP periscope telephoto lens,
and Bluetooth 6 capability.
More details after this quick intro.
(introduction music)
This Xiaomi 15 Ultra that has 12GB of RAM
and 256GB of storage is currently priced
at around Php59,000 that you can buy
in UKDB Gadgets which I'll link
on the description box below.
But if you're looking for an online shop,
I'll also post it on the description box below.
Honestly, my first impression is that its camera
has become larger.
Its size has increased compared to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
But one thing to like here is that its two-tone color
looks really nice and refreshing.
The other two colors that are available
are only black and white which I think are kind of boring.
This is the only color that's better since I think
it's being inspired by the Leica Camera.
You'll see the Ultra logo here which is something new
that's not present in the 14 Ultra.
And this time around, PU leather finish on one side
and I believe that this is a plastic finish
on the other side.
They're both not a fingerprint magnet
so it's okay for me.
It also has side aluminum frames and a lot of antenna bands
all over the phone.
The protection of its front glass is a Xiaomi Shield Glass 2.0
which is tougher than ever compared to its predecessor
which is the Shield 1.
And this is also an IP68 dust and water resistant
which I think is kind of lacking compared
to other flagship IP69-rated.
But of course, I always say don't try to dunk it
to the water if you don't need it,
because the worst thing that can happen to your happen
once you dunk it on water is that there might be fog
present on the camera lenses which there are many
who complained about it on the Redmi Note 13
and even on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
You can also buy a camera kit for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra,
but for me, I don't really find any practical usage
for me, personally, on my daily usage.
It has really great capabilities if you'll be able
to get the most out of it as a photographer
but I have an alternative way that I'll teach you.
Take a look.
