Xiaomi 15 Ultra vs Galaxy S25 Ultra: Sample photos comparison!
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is here to put the Galaxy S25 Ultra's top spot in our PhoneArena Camera Score tier list!
As we just explored in our dedicated Xiaomi 15 Ultra Camera Score article, the two phones are currently tied for the top spot in our rankings. That's because the newcomer packs a pretty impressive camera setup with a 50MP main camera featuring a large 1-inch sensor as well as a massive 200MP periscope with 4.3X optical zoom.
