Xiaomi 17 Ultra Design Details
Ahead of the official launch, Xiaomi has unveiled the design of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. Xu Fei, Vice President of Xiaomi Group, personally revealed the design through a short video shared on Toutiao. The video offers a clear look at the phone’s design elements for the first time.
The smartphone appears in a clean white finish, giving it a premium and minimalistic look.

Two flash units are visible at the top of the camera module, adding to the bold design.
In terms of overall appearance, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra closely resembles the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, continuing the brand’s signature flagship design language.
Camera Setup and Leica Collaboration
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra features a triple rear camera setup. The main camera uses the OmniVision OV50X sensor, which is claimed to be a 1-inch sensor capable of significantly improving dynamic range and low-light performance.
Alongside the primary lens, the phone is equipped with a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. According to Xiaomi, this lens module is 35 percent larger than the one used in the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. It also carries Leica APO optical certification, which helps reduce color fringing and enhances image clarity.

The company stated that its deepened strategic partnership with Leica has helped push night photography and telephoto shooting to new heights in this device. Xiaomi is making bold claims about the Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s camera capabilities, and it remains to be seen how well the phone lives up to these promises once it officially launches.
