Xiaomi 15 Ultra

Xiaomi 15 Ultra — protection for a photography flagship

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is the top-tier model in the 15 series, designed for advanced mobile photography. The quad Leica camera comprises a Sony 1-inch main sensor (50 MP, f/1.63), a 50 MP ultrawide (f/2.2), a 50 MP telephoto (f/1.8) and a 200 MP periscope telephoto (100 mm, f/2.6, 4.3x optical zoom). It is a setup that PhoneArena summed up as: “this camera has a phone attached to it”. Add a 6.73" AMOLED 2K display with Xiaomi Shield Glass 2.0, the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a 5410 mAh battery with 90 W wired and 50 W wireless charging.

Camera module protection — priority number one

The quad Leica module with a 1-inch sensor is the largest camera island in the Xiaomi 15 series. Four lenses — including the 200 MP periscope — protrude noticeably above the rear panel, making them vulnerable to scratches and damage during everyday use. Solutions available at homescreen.pl:

• Camera lens glass — a dedicated protector matched to the four-lens Leica layout. It does not affect photo quality or autofocus, while shielding the lenses from scratches and fingerprints.
• Cases with a raised camera lip — a rim that extends above the camera module prevents the lenses from touching surfaces. With a 1-inch sensor and a 200 MP periscope, this is not optional — it is essential.

2K display protection

The 6.73" AMOLED 2K display covered with Xiaomi Shield Glass 2.0 is more durable than previous generations, but an extra protective layer still makes sense — replacing a 2K screen is one of the most expensive repairs. Available options:

• Tempered glass — 9H hardness, oleophobic coating, variants with a black border covering the screen edges
• Hydrogel films — flexible, self-healing, absorbing minor scratches without affecting touch responsiveness or image sharpness
• Hybrid glass — a compromise between glass and film, crack-resistant while maintaining high clarity

Cases and covers for Xiaomi 15 Ultra

When choosing a case for the Ultra model, pay attention to two factors: the depth of the camera cutout (it must accommodate the protruding quad-lens array) and compatibility with 50 W wireless charging. Available options include silicone, TPU, rugged with MIL-STD-810G certification, hybrid and leather cases. Reinforced corners are a sensible choice for a phone in this price class.

Universal accessories for Xiaomi 15 Ultra

Complete your protection kit with accessories that let you make the most of the phone:

• Wall chargers — a 90 W charger will fill the 5410 mAh battery in just over half an hour
• Power banks — an intensive photo session with the 200 MP camera drains the battery faster; a power bank is a wise safeguard
• USB-C cables — for fast charging and full-resolution photo transfer
• Headphones — wireless TWS or wired USB-C

Xiaomi 15 Ultra versus other series models

The Ultra is the only model in the 15 series with a 1-inch sensor and a 200 MP periscope telephoto — specs that clearly set it apart from the rest of the line. If mobile photography is not your priority and you want the biggest battery, check out the Xiaomi 15 Pro with its 6100 mAh cell. The compact Xiaomi 15 offers a 6.36" flat screen that simplifies glass selection. The T line — Xiaomi 15T and Xiaomi 15T Pro — represents more affordable flagships with MediaTek processors and 144 Hz displays. The newer generation is available in the Xiaomi 17 Series category.
