The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is making its way worldwide only a few days after its Chinese debut. However, the worldwide version has a few minor variations.
The worldwide device has a smaller 5,410mAh battery, while the Chinese variant has a 6,000mAh battery. The power pack still requires 90W wired and 80W wireless HyperCharge. The other distinction is the selection of colors. White, Black, and the exclusive Silver Chrome version are available in Europe. Thus, the Pine Green limited edition is still only available in China.
