Igeekphone News, December 23rd: Blogger @Digital Chat Station revealed today that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra phone will be the first in the industry to feature a 200-megapixel continuous optical zoom sensor. It adopts a 200Mp 1/1.4″ large sensor and a 3G+5P dual floating lens group design, supporting 75mm-100mm optical zoom. One telephoto lens can achieve multiple variable lossless focal lengths.
The blogger stated that this technology is expected to be only used by Xiaomi by 2026.
Igeekphone noticed that the blogger also responded to some netizens’ questions in the comment section: Regarding the exclusive period of this technology, he explained: “Exclusive for 26 years. After 26 years, only Xiaomi might support 200 million continuous optical variables.” ” Regarding whether this technical route will be widely followed up, he said, “It won’t be widely followed up. Currently, apart from Xiaomi, there is another mainstream manufacturer that is going to adopt it, but it might take 27 years.”
In addition, the blogger also popularized the “3G” in “3G+5P” : “3G-glass, continuous optical zoom requires three sets of lenses, one set of light focus, one set of zoom, and one set of focusing + optical compensation, to ensure that continuous zoom is undamaged.”
According to the official introduction of Xiaomi mobile phones, the new Xiaomi 17 Ultra will be the first to feature the “Leica 200-megapixel optical zoom”. This lens is the industry’s first 75-100mm full 200-megapixel optical direct output lens and the first mobile phone lens to obtain Leica APO optical certification. It adopts a 3G+5P dual floating lens group solution. It is Xiaomi’s most exquisite optical design to date.
Xiaomi officially stated that the lens of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is “optical zoom” rather than “digital cropping”, and it is a brand-new telephoto solution for the next generation.
