Xiaomi 17 Ultra Camera Test: Is This 200MP Periscope the New Zoom King?

By Hamka Rosli May 4, 2026

We’re pushing the limits of mobile photography with the new Xiaomi 17 Ultra. Featuring a revolutionary Mechanical Continuous Optical Zoom, this phone physically moves its lenses to give you true optical clarity without the digital grain.

What’s inside the camera island:

  • Main Sensor: 50MP Light Fusion 1050L (1-inch sensor) with LOFIC HDR for mirrorless-level dynamic range.
  • The Showstopper: A 200MP Periscope Telephoto with a continuous optical system (75mm to 100mm).
  • The “All-50MP” Setup: 50MP Ultra-Wide and a 50MP Selfie camera that finally hits 4K 60fps with Eye-Autofocus.
  • Pro Features: Leica Summilux optics, APO coating to prevent color fringing, and 8K RAW/10-bit LOG recording across all four lenses.

Is this the hardware that finally kills the mirrorless camera for travel? Watch the macro zoom test to find out!
