Introduction to the new smart devices and global launch
In an ambitious strategic move aimed strongly at boosting and solidifying its competitive position in the crowded global market, Chinese tech giant Xiaomi today launched a wide, striking, and diverse range of smart devices and modern tech accessories. This prominent and highly important announcement came just ahead of the launch of Mobile World Congress activities in Barcelona, Spain, the most important and largest event on the annual tech calendar anticipated by all companies and consumers. The surprising lineup of new products included an innovative flagship smartphone focusing primarily and centrally on delivering professional and unprecedented photography capabilities in phones, a small smart item tracking device similar in function and size to competing trackers like AirTag, in addition to an advanced sports smartwatch named Xiaomi Watch 5, and a wireless power bank featuring an ultra-slim and elegant design to meet all the needs of on-the-go users seeking the best.
Specifications of the advanced smartphone, lenses, and fast processor
As part of its deep commitment to delivering the highest degrees of optical quality to users, the leading Chinese company entered into a strategic and historic partnership with renowned German camera maker Leica to develop and co-brand its new flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. As part of this highly fruitful partnership, advanced optical lenses from Leica are utilized alongside the development of smart software filters that accurately emulate the German company’s classic style in photography and color rendering. The new phone features a stunning, high-resolution 6.9-inch HyperRGB OLED display protected by a layer of ultra-durable glass designed and developed by the company itself, named Xiaomi Shield 3.0. To ensure exceptional, smooth, and very fast performance in games and apps, the company chose to equip the phone with American company Qualcomm’s latest and most powerful processor, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which is precisely the same powerful processor used and adopted in the recently launched Galaxy S26 phone series. In addition to all this, the giant phone packs a massive 6,000 mAh battery to ensure long-lasting intensive use, while the version dedicated to the Chinese market comes with an even larger battery reaching 6,800 mAh. The device supports 90W ultra-fast wired charging technologies and very advanced 50W wireless charging via proprietary HyperCharge technology.
Exceptional camera capabilities and special Leica edition
As for the staggering photography capabilities, the phone houses a massive, high-resolution 50-megapixel main sensor with a wide f/1.67 aperture and a full 1-inch sensor size, allowing for ultra-clear and sharp images even in very low-light conditions. However, the main attraction and most exciting feature in this advanced device is the formidable 200-megapixel telephoto camera, which features a mechanically variable focal length equivalent to 75mm to 100mm. This incredible technological innovation means you can simply achieve seamless true optical zoom between 3.2x and 4.3x to capture highly detailed shots without any loss or distortion of quality. The phone is also equipped with a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera for capturing breathtaking landscapes. To historically celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the esteemed German camera company, the Chinese company released a special and exclusive edition featuring a durable and luxurious aluminum alloy chassis, complete with a customized software interface that perfectly emulates the classic camera user experience. To elevate the photography experience to professional standards, the company released innovative additional accessories that connect via Bluetooth and USB ports, featuring comfortable physical shutter buttons and built-in batteries to transform the phone’s form factor into a complete, professional camera system. Device series pricing starts at 999 euros and reaches 1,999 euros for the special Leica edition with 1TB capacity.
Smart accessories, power bank, and advanced electric scooter
Alongside the flagship and distinct smartphones, the company launched a variety of other devices clearly aimed at facilitating and building consumers’ daily lives. The company officially announced a new, advanced electric scooter boasting a peak power of 1200W and a staggering driving range of up to 75 kilometers on a single charge, equipped with a smart display screen. Among the other products is a very useful and lightweight smart tracking device weighing just 10 grams, which works with full compatibility and flexibility alongside tracking systems available in both Apple and Android phone ecosystems. This small device features a standard battery lasting for over a full year and comes at a very competitive price accessible to everyone. Furthermore, the company announced the launch of a magnetic power bank featuring an ultra-slim design, with a total thickness of just 6 millimeters, coming in a 5000 mAh capacity. This elegant power bank supports fast wired charging and convenient magnetic wireless charging that easily snaps onto phones like the iPhone.
