The 200MP Leica telephoto camera covers 75–100mm focal lengths and also includes OIS. Zoom shots stay sharp, and portrait images show strong subject separation. Users can also shoot in full 200MP mode for maximum detail. The 50MP ultra-wide camera offers a 14mm focal length and a 115° field of view, ideal for landscapes and wide group shots.
Advanced Camera Features and Video Tools
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra gives users more creative control through its Leica features. It includes Leica Authentic Look for natural tones and Leica Vibrant Look for richer colors. Leica filters, the classic Leica shutter sound, and Leica watermark options are also available.
Focusing is enhanced with Xiaomi ProFocus, supporting motion tracking, eye tracking, and motion capture. Users can shoot in 50MP mode across all lenses, or switch to 200MP mode on the telephoto lens. RAW format is supported for advanced editing.
For video, the phone supports 8K recording at 30fps and 4K Dolby Vision® recording at up to 120fps. Log recording is available up to 4K at 120fps for better color grading flexibility. Slow-motion recording goes up to 1920fps, and a built-in 4-mic array helps capture clearer audio.
This is clearly a setup designed for serious creators.
