This year’s event has been all about pushing the boundaries of technology, with major players like Xiaomi, Lenovo, and Google unveiling groundbreaking products. Here’s a look at some of the most talked-about devices from the event.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra: A Camera Powerhouse

Xiaomi made waves at MWC 2025 with the launch of its latest flagship, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

It runs on Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2, based on Android 15, ensuring a smooth and powerful user experience. But the real game-changer is Xiaomi’s new modular camera system. The LaserLink attachment—a magnetic pogo pin on the phone’s back—lets users attach an external camera lens for pro-level photography. This system supports data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps and includes a 100MP optical lens with an adjustable aperture (f/1.4 to f/11) and a massive 4/3-inch sensor.
