Emir BardakçıXiaomi 15 Ultra officially broke new ground in smartphone photography with a staggering array of cameras that is about to rewrite the rulebook on phone picture-taking. This revolutionary device comes with a revolutionary quad-camera array that is at its center a gargantuan one-inch sensor with a jaw-dropping 200-megapixel telephoto sensor, establishing what Xiaomi calls “four cameras and eight focal lengths with no relay interruptions.” Leica partnership continues to enhance Xiaomi picture strengths with each lens sporting the storied camera maker’s seal of quality as well as optical superiority.
Headlining on this imaging platform is a 50MP Leica lead sensor that boasts a state-of-the-art 1-inch ultra-large sensor with a phenomenal 14EV native dynamic range. The flagship sensor is also equipped with a phenomenal f/1.63 ultra-wide opening with 8P diaphragm design, bolstered by Xiaomi’s UIS super anti-shake algorithm that ensures stability. The enormous sensor supports unprecedented light collection with phenomenal capture in low-light as well as genuine depth of field that is not as yet seen in smartphone photography.
Complemented with a 50MP Leica Ultra Wide Angle sensor with JN5 image sensor, a 115° field of vision is available with a 5cm super macro feature that is impressive in its ability to take close-ups. Edge-to-edge quality is guaranteed with its 6P design on a ƒ/2.2 aperture.
Portrait photographers will enjoy that 50MP Leica Telephoto camera utilizes the award-winning IMX858 sensor with high-speed f/1.8 aperture as well as 1.4μm fused pixels. The 6P construction 3X floating telephoto design makes both ordinary telephoto images as well as revolutionary telephoto macro images available, providing smartphone photographers with new means in which to be innovative.
Most impressive is probably 200MP Leica super telephoto sensor with advanced HP9 sensor. The periscope module is equipped with a large 1/1.4-inch sensor that is as good as a main camera with a large 2.24μm fused pixels as well as a relatively small f/2.6 opening. The 4.3x optical zoom is impressive with high quality images, a testament to great phone images that Xiaomi is passionate about.
Xiaomi officially claims 15 Ultra brings Leica pure optical system with new material, technologies, and manufacturing methods. The 15 Ultra is the outcome of joint research between Xiaomi and Leica on smartphone optics, with each optical chain component reimagined. The outwards lens coating makes use of the sector’s very first “Leica ultra-low reflection lens glass,” which minimizes flare and allows more light.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra camera system is a testament to its firm commitment towards capturing images at its best, pushing smartphone photography into new realms. The launch puts Xiaomi squarely at the forefront in smartphone photography innovation, disrupting established leaders in its wake.
