Xiaomi plans a major camera upgrade for its next top phone. Leaks show the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will have three rear cameras instead of four like the last Ultra model. The key feature is a big 200-megapixel telephoto lens.

The 200MP telephoto is the big news. Leaks claim it offers "multi-focal-length lossless zoom" and telephoto macro mode. This means sharp close-up shots and clear zoomed photos with little quality drop. It puts zoom and close-ups at the center of the phone's camera skills.
Switching to three cameras seems on purpose. Xiaomi wants bigger sensors, better lenses, and improved image processing for main focal lengths. This skips extra sensors for other jobs and can boost photo quality while making camera software easier to tune.

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra will lead the Xiaomi 17 series. It should launch in 2026, but Xiaomi has not confirmed dates or specs. Treat all this as rumors until official news.
Past leaks and the current Xiaomi 17 series hint at a top chipset and premium parts like other models. Details on processor, battery, display, and price are unknown for now. They may appear near launch.

If Xiaomi nails a strong 200MP telephoto with solid main and ultra-wide cameras, the 17 Ultra could shine for zoom fans and daily shooters. Real results depend on final sensors, optics, and software tuning.
More leaks and Xiaomi teasers should come as testing goes on. Updates will follow official specs or hints, but right now, expect a 200MP telephoto triple camera rear setup in a 2026 flagship.
