Xiaomi is all set to launch its next-gen flagship smartphone this month, and as per it’s official website, the new smartphone will be named the ‘Xiaomi 15 Ultra’. The handset is expected to launch later this month and will feature high-end specifications, probably set to compete with the recently launched premium flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, iPhone 16 Pro, Vivo X200 Pro and OnePlus 13.
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has confirmed the February 2025 launch on Weibo but did not reveal the exact date.
