It is still unclear whether the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will manage to fit a secondary screen alongside its four cameras. While Xiaomi already claims its latest flagship phones are a massive success, there’s more to come from the Xiaomi 17 series. The company is currently working on the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, which may feature four cameras on the back and could potentially overshadow even the Xiaomi 17 Pro.
### Xiaomi 17 Ultra May Feature a 50MP Main Sensor with Improved Zoom
According to new information shared by Digital Chat Station on Weibo (source in Chinese), Xiaomi’s upcoming ultra-flagship will introduce a brand-new 50MP sensor for its main camera. This sensor is expected to support enhanced in-sensor zoom across various zoom levels, allowing seamless transitions into the zoom camera.
While few details have been revealed about the main camera, the sensor is reportedly “noticeably larger” than the one found on the Xiaomi 17 Pro. It will also utilize LOFIC technology, which provides a slightly wider dynamic range for improved image quality.
The zoom camera may also receive a significant upgrade, potentially featuring a 200MP sensor. This would enable the Xiaomi 17 Ultra to support telephoto macro photography and multi-focal-length lossless zoom. Both the main and zoom cameras are expected to deliver “excellent dynamic range,” elevating the overall photography experience on the device.
### Release Date: When Is the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Coming Out?
The exact release date for the Xiaomi 17 Ultra remains unclear, but it is likely to launch early in 2026. Considering that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra was released in February, a similar timeline for its successor would make sense.
If Xiaomi maintains this schedule, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s release could directly coincide with the delayed launch of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Samsung is expected to offer minimal upgrades to the camera system of its next flagship, which might give Xiaomi an opportunity to grab more attention with its improved camera technology.
### Will the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Have a Secondary Screen?
Another detail yet to be confirmed is whether the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will feature a secondary screen. The Xiaomi 17 Pro models showcased camera bumps similar to the iPhone 17 Pro, but with integrated screens. However, Digital Chat Station suggests that the 17 Ultra might have a circular camera bump, which could indicate the absence of a secondary display.
### Xiaomi’s Opportunity to Shake Up the Market
With Samsung’s upcoming flagship expected to deliver underwhelming upgrades, Xiaomi may have a prime opportunity to capture market attention with the 17 Ultra. Riding on the success of the Xiaomi 17, the Ultra model could pose a serious challenge to Samsung’s market position in the flagship segment.
