The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is getting a steep temporary discount during the ongoing JD 618 sale, with the 16GB + 512GB version now listed at RMB 4,499. IT Home notes that this same configuration originally launched at RMB 6,999 in March 2025, so the current promotion represents a major drop from the debut price.
According to the listing details, the headline sale price is RMB 5,499 before stacked incentives. Buyers can then combine an instant RMB 500 reduction with a separate RMB 500 coupon, bringing the final checkout price down to RMB 4,499. JD is also offering 12-month interest-free financing, which works out to roughly RMB 374.99 per month.
Xiaomi is also bundling the Fashion Imaging Kit with qualifying orders while supplies last. IT Home adds that the accessory normally sells for RMB 399 through Xiaomi’s own channels, which makes the promo more appealing for shoppers who were already considering the phone for photography use.
As for the hardware itself, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra still sits firmly in flagship territory. It runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite platform, pairs LPDDR5X memory with UFS 4.1 storage, and includes Xiaomi’s in-house charging, battery management, and signal enhancement chips. Cooling is handled through a dual-loop stereo ring cold pump design.
The display is a 6.73-inch 3200 x 1440 OLED panel with an LTPO 1-120Hz refresh rate. Xiaomi says it uses C9 luminous material with a dual micro-cavity structure, while peak brightness reaches 3200 nits in a 25% window. The screen also supports ultrasonic fingerprint unlock, DC-like dimming, and 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.
Photography is one of the main selling points here. The rear camera setup includes a 50MP primary camera built around Sony’s 1-inch LYT-900 sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide camera, a 50MP upright telephoto lens, and a 200MP periscope telephoto camera. Video support goes up to 8K and 4K across the full focal range. On the front, Xiaomi uses a 32MP selfie camera.
Battery capacity comes in at 6000mAh, and the phone supports 90W wired charging plus 80W wireless charging. Other listed features include IP68 dust and water resistance, Wi‑Fi 7 R2, infrared control, USB 3.2 Gen 1, stereo speakers, a four-microphone array, and an X-axis linear motor. Xiaomi also says the entire lineup supports Tiantong satellite communication.
In short, this JD 618 sale turns the Xiaomi 15 Ultra into a much more aggressive flagship buy than it was at launch. For shoppers in China who were waiting for a better entry point, the combination of the price cut, financing offer, and bundled camera accessory is clearly the main story.
