The next device in the series doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019ll break this pattern. A reliable leaker has shared new details that point to big imaging upgrades for the upcoming Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and possibly two versions of the device.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ug\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Xiaomi 17 Ultra Digital Chat Station Weibo Leak\"  alt=\"Xiaomi 17 Ultra Digital Chat Station Weibo Leak\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Xiaomi-17-Ultra-Digital-Chat-Station-Weibo-Leak.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In his <a href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/6048569942\/Q8ru4ewWl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Weibo post<\/a>, Digital Chat Station listed a \u201c50MP-50MP+50MP+200MP\u201d configuration, describing an ultra-high dynamic-range primary camera and a new optical-technology periscope lens, with the other lenses said to be \u201cconventional.\u201d This seems to indicate a four-camera setup, especially if the minus sign is a typo. However, it could also suggest a 50MP selfie camera followed by three rear cameras. DCS didn\u2019t specify either way.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_Wn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Ug\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Ug\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He did appear to confirm that there will be two versions of the device. According to his intel, both will use the same camera sensors and lenses, with the higher-end variant offering \u201crevolutionary imaging features.\u201d Whether that means advanced software tricks or some kind of new imaging system isn\u2019t clear yet, but the post makes it sound like Xiaomi has something experimental in the works.<\/p>\n<p>When asked how it compares to the last Ultra, DCS said the main and periscope cameras have seen huge improvements and that the overall playability of the camera system has also been greatly improved.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no mention yet of launch timing or other hardware specs, but if this leak is anything to go by, Xiaomi\u2019s next Ultra could be its most ambitious camera phone to date.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
