As per reports, Xiaomi is expected to unveil the Xiaomi 17 Ultra later this month in China. This will be a new addition to the lineup, which already includes the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Pro, which debuted in September this year.

A new leak by Smart Pikachu reveals that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will have a refreshed Leica lens coating tailored to correct optical flaws and improve clarity. Here’s a look at what the leak has revealed.

New optics and camera changes

According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra focuses heavily on optical purity. The device is expected to feature a new Leica coating designed to enhance light transmission while minimizing glare and ghosting. He describes this approach as leaving optical problems to be solved by optics, ensuring high definition and color fidelity rather than relying solely on software.

Beyond the glass, the camera arrangement is reportedly shifting. Unlike its predecessor, the 17 Ultra might drop the quad-camera setup in favor of a powerful triple-lens system.

This setup is tipped to include a primary 50-megapixel 1-inch sensor, possibly the OmniVision OV50X, paired with a massive 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. A 50-megapixel ultra-wide shooter should round out the package, offering a versatile photography experience.

Under the hood, the smartphone will likely run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform to handle complex image processing. Leaks indicate a significant battery upgrade, potentially falling between 6,000mAh and 7,000mAh, which would be a substantial jump for the series.

The front of the phone is expected to return to a flat display design rather than a curved screen, integrating an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner for security. Other notable additions include dual satellite communication capabilities and a high-durability build.

The new leak also states that the Band 10 Pro fitness tracker and Xiaomi’s first NAS storage solution will share the stage at the Xiaomi 17 Ultra launch event.
