Information about the Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s high-end 200MP telephoto camera has leaked online.

Weibo tipsters are now providing us with additional information regarding the rumored 200MP telephoto camera that will be included in the next Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

Prominent leaker Ice Universe revealed a few months ago that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra would have a 200MP telephoto camera. More information regarding this suspected camera is now being provided by other tipsters on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.

According to reports, the Ultra will be the only model with this sophisticated camera; the Pro models in the series will have to make do with 50 MP 3x cameras.

It is said that the Ultra camera has an aperture of f/2.6 and a lens of 100mm, which translates to around 4.3x magnification. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra, for instance, included a 50 MP, 120mm (5x) periscope with an f/2.5 aperture. Photos shot with the expected camera will appear more detailed and generally of higher quality because to its greater megapixel count.

But that’s not all! Like the other two phones in the series, the Ultra is anticipated to have two telephoto cameras: a 200MP one and a 50 MP 3x module. The flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 CPU, which may be referred to as the 8 Elite or something similar, will power all three phones and has enhanced image processing capabilities.

According to reports, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be released at a different event than the other Xiaomi 15 models, as was the case with the predecessor. However, unlike its predecessor, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is currently anticipated to be introduced in January rather than February.

It looks like this phone will be really intriguing. Zooming in is something I’ve recently grown to love, especially when I want to shoot pictures of birds or other interesting creatures I see in parks and the wild and would like a higher-quality image.

Additionally, compared to the squished and slightly warped wide photographs captured at ‘1x’ magnification, I’ve grown to really enjoy the natural effect that a 2x zoom picture produces (2x is closer to how things appear in real life than the 1x, which is usually a wide lens). For fans of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, this is fantastic news, and it’s beginning to entice me too.
