Focus on Cutting-edge Mobile Photography

The highlight of the new device will be its camera. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is equipped with a new 14-channel multispectral sensor, a 200-megapixel image sensor, and a Leica telephoto lens with continuous optical zoom ranging from 70–100 mm, corresponding to magnification from 3x to 4.3x. This approach, as claimed by insider Johnny Manuel, is expected to significantly enhance portrait photography.
