Insider: Xiaomi 17 Ultra photo flagship will receive high-end optics with new Leica lens coating
New information has surfaced online about the yet-to-be-released Xiaomi 17 Ultra, which is reported to be revolutionizing the photo flagship market.
What is known
Reputable insider Smart Pikachu announced that Xiaomi 17 Ultra will receive an updated Leica lens coating, specially designed to eliminate optical defects and increase light transmission. Thus, the quality of photos and the absence of glare will be ensured not only by AI features and software but also by high-end optics.

According to rumors, Xiaomi 17 Ultra will receive a triple camera module, not a system of four sensors like its predecessor:
- main camera of 50 MP, possibly with a 1” OmniVision OV50X sensor;
- periscopic telephoto lens of 200 MP;
- ultra-wide camera of 50 MP.
In terms of characteristics, Xiaomi 17 Ultra will almost not differ from Xiaomi 17 Pro Max and will receive the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, as well as a 6.8″ flat OLED display with 2K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, but will not have an additional rear display, leaving space for a huge round camera block. It is likely that Xiaomi 17 Ultra will have a battery of 6000-7000 mAh.
When to expect
It is expected that Xiaomi will present its Ultra model along with the global version of the basic Xiaomi 17 by the end of December.
