In China, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is expected to offer multiple storage configurations, going up to 1TB. However, the global variant is rumored to come with a 16GB + 512GB option. The phone will likely be available in black, white, and silver, an improvement over its predecessor, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which launched in just black and white.
