Xiaomi 15 Ultra global pricing leaks and buyers might be in for a surprise
Xiaomi revealed the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro in China last October, and now, the buzz is about the global versions dropping at MWC 2025 in Barcelona next month. Actually, word on the street is that we'll see the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Ultra make their international debut, and guess what? Their prices just leaked!
A recent report (translated source) sheds light on the expected pricing for Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Ultra in Europe. Starting with the Ultra model, it looks like it could be priced at around €1,499 (around $1,555 when directly converted) in France and other parts of Europe.
The Ultra might only come in one color – Chrome – and a single 512 GB storage option. Though its RAM hasn't been mentioned here, we're betting it'll feature 16 GB of RAM.
As for the Xiaomi 15, it could land at €1,099 (around $1,140 when directly converted). Colors are expected to mirror those from the 512 GB storage option in China: green, black, and white.
If these prices hold true, this would be great news for international buyers. The pricing is surprisingly close to the Xiaomi 14 series, especially considering the price bumps the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro saw in China.
The key differences between the Chinese and global versions mostly come down to color options, storage configurations, and RAM variations. However, aside from that, users worldwide can expect true flagship devices powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
The Xiaomi 15 boasts a 6.36-inch OLED display with a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of 3,200 nits. Around the back, it features a triple-camera setup:
- 50 MP main sensor with OIS
- 50 MP ultrawide lens
- 50 MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom and OIS
Keeping everything running is a big 5,400mAh battery, supporting 90W wired and 50W wireless charging – plenty of power to last through the day.
Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is set to raise the stakes even higher. Expected to debut nearly simultaneously in China and globally (though it might hit China a little earlier), details are still trickling in.

That said, rumors suggest this device will feature a 200 MP periscope telephoto lens, paired with another 50 MP telephoto and a main sensor boasting the Sony Lytia LYT-900 1-inch sensor. On top of that, there's said to be a 50 MP ultrawide camera and a 32 MP front-facing camera for selfies.
If these specs hold true, it looks like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra could be a camera powerhouse, potentially taking the crown from the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which currently sits just behind the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in our Camera Scores. However, when it finally drops, we'll see if the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has what it takes to dethrone the Galaxy, too.
All in all, this flagship contender definitely shapes up to be a must-watch for anyone eyeing a top-tier Android phone.
