I tested the detachable camera concept and was even able to shoot some example images. Xiaomi may have been talking a lot about the cameras on its new 15 Ultra phone at this year's Mobile World Congress,

At MWC 2025, Xiaomi is showing off its new concept idea for the Xiaomi Optical Modular System – a micro four-thirds camera and lens combo that magnetically attaches to the rear of a prototype Xiaomi 15.

Say hello to another bombastic entrant in Xiaomi's Ultra series. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra leads with its Leica-backed camera array, made all the more prominent by the existing 1-inch 50MP main sensor being joined by a new, larger 1/1.4-inch 200MP telephoto sensor.
