Soon after the Xiaomi 15 was listed on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification website in November, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has now been spotted on the same certification website. Listing on the BIS website usually means that the company is now going through the process of getting all the approvals for a phone before launching it in the market. Interestingly, unlike the Xiaomi 15, which has already been launched in the market (along with the Xiaomi 15 Pro), the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has not even been unveiled in the China market yet. For starters, Xiaomi phones usually launch first in their home market China.

Coming back to the Xiaomi 15 Ultra listing that has surfaced on the BIS certification website. The handset, identified by model number 25010PN30I, reportedly got the approval on December 20, indicating its imminent arrival in India.

While the BIS listing does not explicitly confirm the name of the device, previous reports from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) link this model number with the Indian variant of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. The global version of the device is expected to have a similar model number, with the last letter changed to ‘G’.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra: What to expect?

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is rumored to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. This is in line with Xiaomi’s tradition of equipping its Ultra-series devices with cutting-edge hardware. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is also expected to feature 90W wired charging and a 2K quad-curved display. On the camera front, it is expected to have a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor with a large aperture and a 1-inch main sensor with f/1.63 aperture.

The device may also come with IP68 and IP69 certification, which will provide protection against water and dust. Wireless charging is expected to be part of its feature set, while the battery capacity is likely to remain unchanged from its predecessor, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra – which had a 5,000mAh battery.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra: Expected price in India

Although Xiaomi has not yet announced an official launch date, the appearance of Xiaomi 15 Ultra on BIS suggests that the Indian debut may not be far away. If we consider past trends, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra made its global debut at the Mobile World Congress Barcelona in February 2024, followed by its Indian release in March 2024. The device is priced at Rs. Rs 99,999 for the single 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant.
