- The same leak points to two variants—12GB/256GB and 16GB/1TB—priced around CNY 6,499 and CNY 7,799.
- Reports frame the Ultra as a Leica-focused camera flagship, with a rumored 200MP main sensor supported by multiple 50MP lenses.
- The handset is expected to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and database sightings suggest China-only satellite texting and calls via Tiantong-1 and Beidou.
