The company has given a glimpse of the rotary ring in a new video, and as the clip shows, it offers an experience that’s very similar to traditional cameras. While Xiaomi didn’t confirm it yet, per Digital Chat Station<\/a>, a reliable leaker, the physical ring isn’t a decorative element. Instead, it can offer actual zoom functionality.
<\/p>\n Of course, the zoom ring isn’t the only notable change on the special Xiaomi 17 Ultra edition. There’s a 3D Leica engraving near the camera module, which adds more aesthetic appeal to this variant.
<\/p>\n Previously, the company detailed the 200 MP periscope telephoto of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and per the shared samples<\/a>, it seems that the sensor can offer detail-rich portrait and zoom shots. More details of the phone could be officially confirmed ahead of the imminent Chinese launch, which is set for December 25, 2025.<\/p>\n Abid’s journey as a technophile began when he first assembled his PC.
