Now that Xiaomi has already unveiled the Xiaomi 17 series in China, a couple of weeks ahead of its competitors, the brand is said to be working on the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, which promises a professional-grade, ultimate photography experience. While initial reports have claimed that it may debut in the first half of 2026, a recent report suggested that it may launch by the end of this year in China. Meanwhile, the rumour mill has been consistently leaking details about its camera capabilities. A new Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed key information about its cameras.
Xiaomi 17 Ultra quad camera details leaked
According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will have a 50-megapixel + 50-megapixel + 50-megapixel + 200-megapixel quad-camera system. The primary camera is tipped to feature a larger sensor with support for ultra-high dynamic range, whereas the periscope camera will have a larger sensor powered by new optical technology. The remaining cameras of the 17 Ultra will follow a more standard configuration.
The leak also states that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will arrive in two versions, but there will be no difference in camera sensors and lens configuration. However, the higher-end version is said to include some innovative photographic capabilities.
The same tipster had previously claimed that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will introduce an advanced continuous optical zoom system, combining a 200-megapixel large sensor with a multi-element periscope zoom lens. This setup reportedly uses a shared CMOS between focal lengths, ensuring smoother zoom transitions without switching cameras. It will also incorporate several self-developed technologies, making it one of Xiaomi’s most sophisticated imaging systems yet.
