According to a new post from popular leaker Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi is planning to release its 2025 flagship, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, earlier than usual. If all goes well, the phone will launch in January.
Xiaomi could try to capture a bigger wave of new buyers next year with its flagship phone and potentially compete with Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is also expected to arrive in January.
Xiaomi's Ultra models tend to release in China a few months before making their global debut, but next year could be different.
The trend has been brewing for a while now. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra came out in July, the 13 Ultra in April, and this year's 14 Ultra came out in February. So a new release in January might not be so far-fetched.
