Igeekphone reported on February 6th: According to the latest industry leaks, Xiaomi plans to release the Xiaomi 17 Ultra to the global market during the upcoming MWC event. Currently, relevant product renderings have appeared on social media platforms, revealing the specifications changes of this flagship model in the overseas market.
The most notable adjustment for the international version of Xiaomi 17 Ultra is in terms of battery life. Its battery capacity is set at 6000mAh, which is 800mAh less than that of the domestic version (6800mAh). This difference is not due to the manufacturer favoring one over the other; rather, it is constrained by strict international transportation regulations.
According to the regulations of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and those of some regions regarding dangerous goods transportation, the energy capacity of a single lithium battery cell is usually limited to less than 20Wh. To ensure the compliance of logistics transportation, mobile phone manufacturers often have to customize batteries with smaller cell capacities for international versions of their products.
Although the battery capacity has been reduced, the international version of Xiaomi 17 Ultra maintains full hardware configuration for its imaging features. Its main camera is equipped with a 50-megapixel Light Hunter 1050L sensor, which is a top-level sensor with a complete 1-inch large sensor size.
Combined with the advanced LOFIC technology, the main camera has an extremely high dynamic range, enabling it to easily handle scenes with huge contrast between light and dark, and truly achieving a picture quality that neither overexposes the bright areas nor loses details in the dark areas.
In terms of telephoto capabilities, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is equipped with a brand-new 2-billion-pixel telephoto lens. The most remarkable feature of this lens is that it supports lossless optical zoom ranging from 75mm to 100mm.
Within this specific focal length range, the phone is capable of achieving optical direct capture of 200 million pixels, rather than relying on digital cropping. This means that whether shooting portraits or distant close-ups, the image can maintain an astonishing level of detail resolution, making it a benchmark for telephoto lenses in the field of mobile imaging.
