Who’s the ultimate sucker? Yep, that would be me! 😂😂
Just couldn’t resist and snagged the Xiaomi 15 Ultra on launch day at full price – mission accomplished!
But here’s the kicker: the camera upgrades on the 15 Ultra? Let’s just say they’re… underwhelming. 😳 In fact, the current camera algorithms perform worse than my trusty 14 Ultra! 🤯
Having both devices side by side, I did some quick comparison shots – and shockingly, the 14 Ultra consistently delivers better results! 🤔
(Quick note: the different parameters in the bottom right aren’t my doing – like most people, I shoot in full Auto mode where the camera handles all settings)
Here’s the real gut punch: Xiaomi’s Ultra series are notorious for price drops. My 14 Ultra configuration is now 2k cheaper than what I paid at launch! 💸
If camera performance and value matter most to you, save yourself 2k and grab the 14 Ultra instead – same quality for less cash! 👌
So why did I upgrade? Battery life was the clincher – that extra 700mAh capacity called my name, especially since my year-old 14 Ultra’s battery health has dipped to 91%. 😩
That said, if money’s no object, the 15 Ultra does have merits: solid camera hardware (just needs software tweaks), better battery endurance, and…
Drumroll please… 🥁
Lei Jun finally killed the need for cases and screen protectors! 🎉
Every 15 Ultra gets free accidental damage coverage for screen, back panel, cameras AND battery for a full month after activation – no matter where you buy it!
Going completely naked has never felt so liberating! The bare phone feels incredible in hand, and that unprotected 2K display looks absolutely stunning! This, my friends, is the real game-changer of this generation. 🤩

I feel you on the screen protector ban—it’s so frustrating when companies try to control how we use our phones. And the camera downgrade is wild; I didn’t expect that from the 15 Ultra. Guess I’ll think twice before pre-ordering next time!
Yeah, I feel you on that. The 15 Ultra’s camera really didn’t blow me away either—especially for the price. I might hold off on accessories for now and see if future updates improve things. Still, can’t deny the allure of having the latest tech right out the gate.
Haha, same here! I also got the 15 Ultra on launch day, but now I’m second-guessing that decision. The camera downgrade is a bummer, especially since I was expecting big improvements. Guess I’ll keep using my old case and screen protector for now—Lei Jun’s rules or not!
