The new Xiaomi 17 Ultra flagship smartphone, equipped with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Photography Kit Pro, is on display at the Xiaomi pavilion during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. The device, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, is transformed into a professional-style camera using this specialized grip, which features a premium PU leather finish and an integrated 2,000mAh battery that supports 90W HyperCharge pass-through via its USB-C connection. The hardware showcase highlights the Leica Summilux optical system, led by a 50-megapixel 1-inch Light Fusion 1050L main sensor with LOFIC HDR technology and a 200-megapixel APO telephoto lens with a 75-100mm mechanical optical zoom. The photography kit adds professional tactile controls, including a two-stage shutter button, a dedicated video recording button, a custom adjustment dial for EV/ISO, and a zoom lever, all designed to enhance the mobile imaging experience.
