Revolutionary Camera System
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s camera setup represents a significant leap in mobile photography. The primary 50MP sensor uses a massive 1-inch OmniVision OV50X sensor with f/1.67 aperture, ensuring exceptional low-light performance. However, the real innovation lies in its telephoto capabilities—featuring continuous optical zoom technology that smoothly transitions from 3x to 7x magnification without quality degradation.
The 200MP telephoto sensor supports a 70mm to 100mm focal length range, while Xiaomi’s first Leica APO zoom camera promises enhanced sharpness for macro shots across various lighting conditions. This collaboration with Leica continues to push boundaries in computational photography.
Starry Sky Green: Premium Design
In a recent Weibo teaser, Xiaomi showcased the Starry Sky Green variant featuring special ore particles that create a mesmerizing texture resembling a night sky filled with stars. This premium finish joins classic black and white options, offering users distinctive aesthetic choices.
The device measures just 8.29mm thin—making it Xiaomi’s slimmest Ultra model to date. The design includes a flat display with rounded corners and unique segmented circular volume buttons, alongside the signature large circular camera module.
