Anyone who knows me knows that my Fujifilm X100VI is pretty much glued to my hand, so it’s incredibly rare that a phone tempts me to leave my trusty compact at home. Yet the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has been doing just that since it landed on my doorstep a few months ago.
Its headline act is a compact camera-rivaling 50MP 1-inch main sensor behind a Leica-designed Summilux 23mm equivalent lens. This main sensor is paired with a 14mm ultra-wide and dual telephotos, the first a 70mm and the second a 100mm periscope with a frankly bonkers 200MP 1/1.4-inch sensor.
