The announcement date for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has reportedly leaked. According to GSMArena, a promotional poster indicates that the big announcement will occur on Wednesday, February 26. Additionally, a newly discovered video allegedly featuring the new handset has surfaced.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is the successor to the highly regarded Xiaomi 14 Ultra and was expected to launch shortly after the Chinese Spring Festival, which is currently taking place. An earlier rumor said we wouldn’t see the new handset until March.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is garnering attention for its expected advanced camera features, building on the strengths of its predecessor. This new model will enhance photography capabilities with a comprehensive rear camera system. The rumored setup includes a 50-megapixel primary camera for detailed images, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera featuring 3x optical zoom for capturing distant subjects, a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera designed to perform well in low-light conditions and provide significant zoom range, and a 50-megapixel wide-angle camera suitable for capturing broader landscapes.
On the performance side, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is anticipated to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which will likely be used across the entire Xiaomi 15 series, including the standard and Pro models. This chipset aims to deliver fast processing speeds and support smooth multitasking.
In terms of design, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to feature a circular camera module on the back, along with a quad micro-curved display designed to provide vivid colors and engaging visuals. An ultrasonic fingerprint scanner could add an extra layer of biometric security for user access.
For performance, rumors suggest configurations of up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage, which may enhance multitasking and provide substantial space for applications, photos, and videos. There are also expectations for an improved stereo speaker setup for a better audio experience while gaming, streaming, or enjoying music. Additionally, the device may have a larger battery capacity than the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, aiming to extend usage time between charges, which could benefit users who prioritize longevity and photography.
A Chinese release of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra should follow soon after February 26 with an international release in March.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
