Xiaomi launched the 17 series of flagship smartphones, including the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, several weeks ago. The firm is now planning to introduce the highly anticipated “Ultra” variant in the series soon. A tipster recently revealed major details regarding the phone’s camera specs. Now, the same source suggests that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will feature the largest camera sensor ever found on a phone.

Xiaomi could offer the largest phone camera sensor on the 17 Ultra

According to Digital Chat Station, a reliable gadget tipster on China’s Weibo, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will feature the largest camera sensor ever found on a smartphone. It will have a big circular camera module like the Xiaomi 15 Pro, instead of a small rear display, to accommodate the bigger lens.

Apart from the largest camera sensor, Xiaomi will equip the 17 Ultra with “exclusive new telephoto technology” (machine translated), as per the source. Additionally, the device will have a new external lens solution, which will allegedly surpass all currently available options on the market.

Earlier, the same source claimed that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will have a new 50MP main camera with a significantly larger sensor and improved in-sensor zoom tech. The telephoto lens will use a new 200MP large-sensor periscope shooter, offering multiple focal lengths without deteriorating image quality.

Sharing key specs with the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max

The tipster also claimed that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will share most of its key specs, including the display, chipset, speakers, vibration motor, and fingerprint sensor, with the 17 Pro Max variant.

If the information is correct, we can expect Xiaomi to fit the new Ultra model with a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED 120Hz display. Under the helm, it could also feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5: the latest flagship chipset on the market. The device will also be available in a “prestigious gold color,” mentioned the source.

Xiaomi hasn’t yet revealed when it’ll launch this year’s Ultra flagship smartphone. So far, the reports indicate that the firm could unleash the new photography beast at some point in the first quarter of 2026.
