The company recently launched the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max. But the Ultra model, the most powerful and camera-focused model, is still pending.
Now, trusted tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has shared fresh details about the phone’s camera hardware, hinting at major upgrades for photography enthusiasts.

Quad-Camera Setup with a 200MP Main Sensor

DCS hinted that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will come with four camera lenses at the back. A huge 200MP main sensor and three 50MP lenses that are expected to cover ultrawide, telephoto, and periscope zoom shots.
The main camera is expected to offer excellent dynamic range. It should capture more detail and contrast even in tough lighting. The periscope lens will also introduce a new kind of optical tech.
However, Xiaomi is keeping the exact details quiet for now. This could mean sharper long-distance shots.

Big Leap from the Previous Ultra Model

DCS claims that the 17 Ultra will mark a major step up from its predecessor. It will be a boost both in image quality and camera performance.
The main and periscope cameras, in particular, are getting notable hardware and software upgrades.
If the leaks turn out to be true, Xiaomi is clearly going after the high-end camera market again. The company will take on rivals like Samsung’s Galaxy Ultra and Huawei’s top P-series phones.

Two Versions with Shared Camera Tech

Interestingly, DCS also revealed that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will come in two versions. These two versions will operate the same camera sensors.
However, the top model will come with some extra imaging features. This model will raise the bar for Xiaomi’s camera game. The upgrade will bring new camera modes and smart AI features.

Expected Launch Timeline

The company hasn’t officially confirmed a release date for the 17 Ultra. But we expect that this device will launch in the coming months.
With the standard Xiaomi 17 lineup already available, the Ultra’s debut will likely serve as the series’ grand finale.
