Xiaomi today unveiled a slew of devices ahead of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, including a flagship camera smartphone, an AirTag clone, the Xiaomi Watch 5 smartwatch, and an ultra-thin power bank.
„Xiaomi 17 and 17 Ultra Smartphones“
The China-based company is partnering with camera manufacturer Leica to co-brand its Xiaomi 17 Ultra smartphone. Part of the partnership is the creation of Leica lenses and filters in the style of the German camera manufacturer.
The phone has a 50-megapixel main sensor with an F/1.67 aperture and a 1-inch sensor. But the main attraction is the 200-megapixel telephoto camera that has a variable focal length of 75mm-100mm equivalent. That means you can zoom optically between 3.2x and 4.3x. The phone also has a 50 MP ultrawide camera with an f/2.2 aperture.
It’s also worth noting that the phone has a 6,000mAh battery (the Chinese version has a larger 6,800mAh battery). The phone can be charged using a 90W USB PD-PPS connector and supports Xiaomi’s 50W wireless Hypercharge technology.
The device features a 6.9-inch Xiaomi HyperRGB OLED display protected by Xiaomi’s proprietary Shield Glass 3.0. The company has opted for Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, which was also used in the recently launched Galaxy S26 series.
The device has a rotating ring that mimics zoom on a physical camera. The special edition also has a “Leica Essential mode,” which has filters that recreate photos in the style of the Leica M9 and Leica M3.
Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi 17 with a larger 6,330 mAh battery, which can be charged at 100W using the company’s HyperCharge tech.
