Xiaomi’s new 15-series smartphones are available in Europe starting today.
A few days after the launch in China, Xiaomi brings the 15 Ultra and 15 smartphones to Europe. For now, we’re not getting a Pro model, but we do get new tablets, earbuds, and fitness trackers. A launch in the United States remains on hold for now.
Cameras Differ Significantly
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is available from today starting at 1499 euros including VAT, and the standard 15 from 999 euros including VAT. It features a 6.73-inch WQHD+ AMOLED screen with a peak brightness of 3200 nits. The Ultra also has a special Matte Glass version for 649 euros, which offers less screen reflection. Both the 15 and the 15 Ultra have an IP68 certification, run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite, have large batteries, and support wireless charging.
The biggest difference between the two devices is in the camera “s, which again are the focus as with the Xiaomi 14 T Pro. Although they both have 50 MP main, telephoto, and ultra-wide camera” s, the Ultra uses different sensors on each lens. The Ultra also has a fourth 200-megapixel lens with 4.3x zoom. Xiaomi also sells a photography kit for 225 euros with a camera grip, shutter button, zoom lever, and exposure button.
New Tablets, Earbuds, and Wearables
Xiaomi is also expanding its tablet lineup with the Pad 7 (399 euros) and Pad 7 Pro (499 euros). The Pro gets a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip and better cameras, but the same 144Hz screen as the Pad 7. Alongside the tablets, Xiaomi is also launching the Buds 5 Pro, which come in both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi versions.
Finally, two wearables are being released. The Smart Band 9 Pro has advanced health tracking, and the Watch S4 is a more basic smartwatch. Xiaomi hasn’t yet communicated prices or availability for these.
