The next chapter in signature mobile photography Xiaomi is getting closer, and with it new rumours emerge about the Xiaomi 17UltraThe latest leaked images of the camera kit have debunked previous rumors of a quad-camera setup. Instead, the renders clearly show a circular module with three main sensors, accompanied by a dedicated space for a special sensor. This choice marks a strategic shift: no longer an increase in the number of lenses, but a targeted optimization of focal lengths and sensor sizes.
Xiaomi 17 Ultra: New Leak Confirms Triple Camera
The camera module's design recalls the one already seen on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, maintaining its characteristic round shape. The main difference is the absence of a fourth lens, replaced by a dedicated sensor. This confirms Xiaomi's desire to focus on a slimmer yet technologically advanced configuration, capable of ensuring superior image quality.
During the development phase, the project, known internally by the code name "Nezha," saw the testing of various sensors. Tests included variants such as the OV50M, S5KJN5, OVX10500U, and S5KHPE, until reaching the final configuration that now appears to be consolidated.
According to leaked information, the final configuration should include:
- Main camera: 50MP OVX10500U
- Telephoto: 200MP S5KHPE
- Ultrawide: 50MP OV50M or 50MP S5KJN5
- Front camera: 50MP OV50M
This combination promises to take mobile photography to a new level, with a 200MP telephoto lens that could revolutionize detail rendition and an ultrawide sensor optimized to capture wider scenes without sacrificing quality.
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra won't be limited to optical innovations. The device will be powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a chipset designed to deliver greater efficiency and higher performance than previous generations. On the software front, the phone will come pre-installed with HyperOS 3, offering seamless integration between hardware and advanced AI features. These include improvements in image processing, resource management, and intelligent system features.
The leak confirms that Xiaomi is focusing on a more focused approach to photography, reducing the number of lenses but increasing sensor quality. With a refined design, a next-generation camera system, and flagship hardware, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is poised to become one of the absolute protagonists of 2026.
