"The China-based company has partnered with camera maker Leica to co-brand its Xiaomi 17 Ultra smartphone. As part of the partnership, it is using Leica lenses and creating filters in the style of the German camera company. The phone has a 50-megapixel main sensor with an F/1.67 aperture and a 1-inch sensor. But the main attraction is the 200-megapixel telephoto camera that has a variable focal length of 75mm-100mm equivalent."
"The device has a 6.9-inch Xiaomi HyperRGB OLED display protected by Xiaomi's own Shield Glass 3.0. The company has picked Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, which was also used in the recently launched Galaxy S26 series. The phone packs a 6,000 mAh battery. The phone could be charged using a 90W USB PD-PPS, and it supports Xiaomi's Hypercharge wireless tech at 50W."
"The company is also releasing a special Leica edition phone to celebrate 100 years of the camera company. The device has a durable aluminum-alloy body with a nickel-anodized finish. Xiaomi has also added a Leica theme on the software side. The device has a rotating ring that mimics zoom on a physical camera. The special edition also has a 'Leica Essential mode,' which has filters that recreate photos in the style of Leica M9 and Leica M3."
