The upcoming Ultra model will boast a powerful 200MP telephoto lens, featuring Samsung’s ISOCELL HP9 sensor. This 1/1.4″ sensor is designed to deliver high-quality zoom capabilities, reaching up to 200 mm and even extending to 400 mm.

In addition to the telephoto lens, the device is expected to feature three other cameras: a 50MP Samsung JN5 ultrawide, a 50MP IMX858 telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 1-inch 50MP LYT900 primary sensor with OIS.

To combat glare, Xiaomi has developed a 24-layer ultra-low reflection glass. This specialised coating reduces reflectivity to just 1.5%, improving light transmission across the entire camera island.

The coating also enhances low-light performance and provides 82% better scratch resistance for added durability.
