US EditionBeyond The Flagship: Why The Xiaomi 17 Ultra Is A Photographer’s Dream
Xiaomi’s 17 Ultra features a 1-inch sensor with LOFIC technology and Leica optics, plus continuous optical zoom and a 6,800 mAh battery for extended use.
- Recently, Xiaomi launched the 17 Ultra globally, calling it `a new step forward in mobile imaging` with UK pricing starting at £1,299 and no official release in the US.
- Xiaomi designed the 17 Ultra to prioritise imaging, building it for photographers and enthusiasts with multi-day endurance and continuing its partnership with German camera company Leica for lenses and software.
- Xiaomi equipped the 17 Ultra with a 1-inch LOFIC sensor, a motorised lens with 75–100mm continuous optical zoom, a 200MP telephoto module, and 8K video plus Dolby Vision HDR in 4K at up to 120fps.
- Expect to see deals emerge soon as competitors like Apple may respond, with the launch positioning the Xiaomi 17 Ultra as a serious alternative in mobile imaging.
- Mechanical moving parts produce a noticeable rattle as the camera module and mechanical zoom parts create a bump, while the 6,000-mAh battery offers multi-day endurance with 90W wired and 50W wireless charging, though wireless charging can be awkward.
