Xiaomi 15 Ultra Rumored To Undercut Rivals Like The Upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max, Galaxy S25 Ultra With Its 200MP Sensor That Supports 4x Optical Zoom
Apple and Samsung are expected to treat their flagships to some notable camera specifications, but on paper, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is rumored to leave the competition in the dust, with a tipster providing some information surrounding the remarkable camera hardware of the flagship.
