With the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the company seems to be moving away from a quad camera setup to a triple camera setup that consists of a 50MP 1-inch primary sensor alongside a Leica-tuned 200MP periscope telephoto shooter and a 50MP ultrawide lens. Xiaomi is also upgrading the optical zoom from 3x to 4.3x.
The device is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and will reportedly pack in a 6,800mAh battery that supports 100W wired charging. Like all flagships, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will come with IP68 dust and water resistance and is expected to feature a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED screen that offers a 120Hz refresh rate. The device will most likely run on HyperOS 3 based on Android 16 out of the box, and may come with up to 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM.
