At least one “Ultra” phone has been canceled, and its specs have just surfaced. The device in question is the Xiaomi 18 Ultra, which was expected to launch next year. It seems like that won’t happen.
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra has apparently been cancelled, and it was supposed to bring top-tier camera specs
The information comes from Digital Chat Station, one of the most famous tipsters around. He claims the phone was cancelled. He added that Xiaomi believed its price was too high for consumers. Needless to say, extremely high component prices are the reason why.
However, the tipster shared the specifications. Xiaomi has planned to use a 200-megapixel main camera LOFIC with a 1/1.12-inch sensor size. Thanks to LOFIC Tech, it would have been great in HDR situations.
In addition to that, a 200-megapixel ultrawide camera with a 1/1.56-inch sensor size was planned, which is great for an ultrawide unit. That’s not something we see often.
A 200MP 1/1.28-inch LOFIC periscope telephoto camera should also be included
The third camera on the back is said to be a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto LOFIC camera with a 1/1.28-inch sensor size. This camera should offer continuous optical zoom with a periscope lens.
A multispectral lens was also planned, and the same applies to a magnetic external lens. The tipster also mentions an 0916 haptic engine and symmetrical dual speakers. A flat display with 1mm bezels on all four sides should also be included.
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra was announced in February this year, so its successor was expected around the same time. Unfortunately, that will not happen. Xiaomi has to pull the plug due to the fact that its price would be too high.
Nothing is confirmed yet, of course. This is just a rumor, but the Digital Chat Station is usually on the spot with his information, so we have no reason to doubt him.
