The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is a Leica-powered photo showcase

Today, Xiaomi announced global availability for its latest flagship phone: the Xiaomi Ultra 15. And based on our time with it so far, it's a real photography powerhouse.

It’s also available in three colorways: a white model with an etched back, black with an almost rubbery textured finish and a special Silver Chrome edition that draws inspiration from some of Leica’s old-school cameras. And this isn’t just some half-hearted afterthought either, as the kit also comes with bonuses like a hand strap, a decorative lens ring and two different removable caps for its shutter. Notably, unlike some Chinese phones like those from Huawei, Xiaomi handsets still have access to Google services, so you can download apps from the Play Store.
