Xiaomi is once again in the news for its smartphone camera technology, and this time the reason is their upcoming flagship device, Xiaomi 16 Ultra. A recent leak suggests that the company is going to equip this smartphone with a 200MP multi-group periscope telephoto system, which could prove to be a significant step forward for mobile photography.
Two Focal Lengths, Same Sensor
The speciality of this new 200MP periscope setup is that it will operate two different zoom levels from the same CMOS sensor. This means that users will get a very smooth and natural optical zoom transition, that too without any cuts or quality drops. Xiaomi is trying to eliminate the zooming experience, which has been a bit uncomfortable and jerky in most smartphones till now.
Camera setup
The camera combination on the Xiaomi 16 Ultra will appeal to even professional photographers:
- Ultra-Wide: For panoramic and landscape shots
- Main Camera: High-quality images for daily use
- Medium Telephoto: For portraits and deep shots
- Super Telephoto: For high zoom needs
- This combination is not only versatile but also promises pro-grade output.
Processor
Such powerful camera hardware is only useful if there is equally powerful processing behind it, and here Xiaomi has opted for the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. This flagship processor is designed for advanced image processing, AI-based camera enhancements, and high-performance usage.
Satellite Connectivity
Xiaomi 16 Ultra will also get support for satellite connectivity, not only in global variants, but also in China-specific units. This will directly benefit those users who want connectivity even in remote or network-dead zones, such as business travellers, explorers or rural users.
