Meanwhile, check out our review of the Galaxy S25 Ultra
With the previous release of the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro, Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s launch has build a lot of excitement. Previously we had the official date reveal of the Xiaomi flagship, particularly in China on Feb 26. We have also received the global launch date of the upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra. This article will delve into the leaked specifications, speculation, and the latest rumors surrounding the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, including its expected pricing and launch date.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra Roundup
Design and Display
Thanks to an exclusive leak from Smartprix, we now have a general picture of what the upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra will look like. On the back, it features a large circular camera module on the back with a Leica-branded quad-camera setup. At the top, the two flash LEDs are arranged horizontally, while the Xiaomi logo is positioned vertically at the bottom left. The phone comes in at least two color options- black and silver/white-with what appears to be a textured back panel finish.
On the front, it sports a modern centre-aligned punch-hole display with minimal bezels and a subtle curve at the edges. The leaked information suggests this phone comes with a 6.7-inch, 120 Hz, 2K LTPO micro quad-curved display.
Performance
For internals, we expect the 15 Ultra to have a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, fabbed on a 3nm process. This boasts two Oryon (Phoenix L) cores clocking at 4.32 GHz and six Oryon (Phonenix M) cores clocking at 3.53 GHz alongside an Adreno 830 GPU.
Xiaomi might pair it with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage.
Samsung ISOCELL HP9
In terms of camera, Xiaomi Ultra has been pretty good at meeting expectations. The 15 Ultra will likely sport a Samsung ISOCELL HP9 1/1.4” image sensor. The upper right section of the circle features the periscope module. This upgraded periscope zoom lens offers impressive specifications, including a 200 MP resolution, a 4.3x optical zoom, and an f/2.6 aperture with up to 100x AI-driven hybrid zoom.
Furthermore, the main lens will feature a 50 MP Sony LYT-900 sensor, positioned alongside two additional lenses that are arranged horizontally at the bottom of the circular camera module. The other two lenses will consist of a 50MP Samsung JN5 ultra-wide camera and a 50MP Sony IMX858 telephoto zoom lens. We can also anticipate a 32 MP selfie camera on the front.
The battery capacity is set to be 6,000 mAh, which is an impressive jump compared to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra (5,300 mAh). While wired charging speed is expected to max out at 90W, wireless charging is likely to be upgraded to 80W. Additionally, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will operate on HyperOS 2, which is based on Android 15.
Battery and Charging : 6000mAh with 90W wired, 80W wireless
Xiaomi 15 Ultra Price in Nepal and Availability

The starting price of Xiaomi 14 Ultra in China is CNY 6,499 so we can expect the 15 Ultra to arrive at CNY 8,799 and NRP 195,999 if it ever makes its way here.
Apple has some amazing shows on its Apple TV platform, but the problem is they were limited to running either on iOS or Android/ Google TV. This was somewhat of a disappointment to Android smartphones and tablet users. But the company has finally done justice to these users as well. Yes! We now have Apple TV for Android phones and tablets. Let’s talk about this in detail.
Apple TV on Android
Well, after five years of keeping Apple TV+ locked up on iPhones and iPads, Apple has finally decided to let Android users in on the fun. If your Android device is running Android 10 or later, you’re good to go! You can stream all those exclusive Apple TV+ hits like Ted Lasso, Severance, Silo, and Ghosted. Plus, there’s a 7-day free trial, so you can binge-watch without guilt (for a week, anyway).
Moreover, the app’s got some features like “Continue Watching” (so you don’t have to remember where you left off) and “Watchlist” (to keep track of all the stuff you will watch… eventually). It also streams smoothly over Wi-Fi or cellular, and you can even download shows to watch offline. This move from Apple to include Android devices will likely boost the company’s services revenue.
To access the Apple TV app, you can either sign in with your existing Apple TV+ account or create one within the app. It costs you $9.99 per month for Apple TV+. If you’re a soccer fan, you can grab the MLS Season Pass for $12.99 per month or $79 for the full season. The app is available on the Google Play Store. Though it currently holds a 1.9-star rating, this mostly comes from old reviews left by Android users who were frustrated by the lack of mobile support. On the downside, Android users won’t be able to buy or rent movies directly from the app, like iOS folks can. But hey, at least we get the TV shows, right?

Xiaomi’s latest budget phone, the Redmi 14C, went official in the international market a few weeks ago. This thing brings a unique design, a big display, and a big battery to name a few. And now, it has landed here in Nepal as well. So let’s take a closer look at the Redmi 14C, alongside its features, availability, official price in Nepal, and more.
Redmi 14C Overview
Design and Display
Being the successor to the Redmi 13C, the Redmi 14C looks distinctly different. We have a large circular camera island aligned at the centre instead of a squircle one on the side. Meanwhile, the color choices are Dreamy Purple, Sage Green, and Midnight Black in Nepal.
The screen on the Redmi 14C has grown quite heftily and measures 6.88 inches. While the size may be absolutely massive, the display itself is pretty mediocre. It offers HD+ resolution only and 8-bit colors with 70% NTSC gamut coverage. The brightness on this thing caps out at 600 nits. However, it does offer a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz.
Performance
As per the leak, the Redmi 14C was supposed to arrive with the MediaTek Helio G91 Ultra. However, the phone has arrived with Helio G81 Ultra instead. It is a debut chipset and appears to be an update to the G80 processor from 2020. While the core architecture and peak frequency appear to be unchanged, it could have had a newer fabrication process.
In the meantime, the Redmi 14C comes in three different configurations. Those being 4GB + 128GB, 6GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 256GB. The RAM in here is an LPDDR4X while the storage is eMMC 5.1. The Redmi 14C phone supports memory extension by an additional 8GB. There is an option for storage expansion as well, however, the upper limit of it is unknown. As for software, the Redmi 14C boots on Xiaomi’s in-house HyperOS straight out of the box.
The Redmi 14C seems to have a four-camera setup, but that is not the case. Two of the cutouts on the back don’t even house any lenses. One is an LED flash while the other is used for “50MP AI Camera” branding. Yes, the Redmi 14C comes with a 50MP primary sensor. Regarding another lens, even the company says “Auxiliary lens” and shrugs it off. Hence, this phone effectively has a single camera setup. On the front, there is a 13MP unit for selfies and face unlock.
Battery-wise, the Redmi 14C comes with a 5,160 mAh cell and supports 18W fast charging through a USB Type-C interface. It has a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button for further security. Meanwhile, for wireless connectivity, it supports dual SIM, 4G cellular, Bluetooth v5.4, dual-band WiFi, and NFC in select regions.
