Xiaomi 17 Ultra - More Camera than Phone!
These notes were generated by AI and may contain inaccuracies.
The year is 2026, and most smartphones are 50% computer, 50% camera, with the camera increasingly important. This is the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition, a camera that happens to have a phone attached.
Unboxing emphasizes Leica edition with heavy logo use. Includes the phone, custom MagSafe case with Leica logo, aluminum lens cap with larger Leica logo, soft high-quality microfiber cleaning cloth, and wrist strap attaching to case corner like a camera lanyard. Accessories package costs $50-60 based on quality.
Unlike Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max, which followed iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max design, the 17 Ultra differs. Cream colorway with two-tone look: bottom two-thirds textured, top third smooth. Super clicky circular volume buttons with plus/minus, throwback to iPhone 4 era. Horizontal branding on back: Leica logo more prominent than Xiaomi text (Xiaomi once, Leica multiple times including on camera plateau, 'Leica camera Germany' on side above knurled grip texture). Camera plateau in circle with textured metal ring that moves.
No dedicated camera shutter button on side for landscape mode photos.
Triple camera: main (1-inch 50MP f/1.67), ultrawide (14mm 50MP f/2.2), telephoto (200MP variable focal length zoom from 75mm to 100mm equivalent, f/2.39 to f/2.96).
