Xiaomi 17 Ultra leaked shots
The leaked photos show what is believed to be the Xiaomi 17 Ultra hidden inside a protective case, but the camera layout is still visible enough to reveal a change from the circular module used on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
The images suggest a more compact yet tightly packed camera island featuring three clearly visible sensors. One of these appears to be a periscope telephoto lens, flanked by a flash and several additional cutouts that are likely reserved for secondary sensors.
According to recent reports, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s rear camera system will consist of a triple camera setup. This may include a 50‑megapixel primary 1‑inch sensor, possibly the OmniVision OV50X, paired with a large 200‑megapixel periscope telephoto camera and a 50‑megapixel ultra‑wide lens.
This would be a departure from the quad‑camera arrangement found on its predecessor. The leaked device appears in black with a metal frame and visible screw cutouts, although it remains uncertain whether this design will match the final retail version. Internally, the phone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset built on a 3 nm process. It is also rumored to house a battery with a capacity between 6,000 mAh and 7,000 mAh.
What to expect next
If the leaks prove accurate, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra could bring one of the most ambitious camera upgrades in Xiaomi’s flagship lineup, particularly with its high‑resolution periscope telephoto lens and 1‑inch primary sensor. Combined with a next‑generation Snapdragon chipset and a large battery, the device is shaping up to be a strong contender in the premium smartphone segment in the USA (USD), Europe (EUR), and India (INR) once pricing and availability are officially announced.
