This upcoming top-tier Android phone proves you don’t need four cameras to be a flagship

Key Highlights

• The camera hardware is perhaps the headline: a triple setup including a 200MP periscope telephoto lens.
• Design gets a practical refresh with rounder corners, a flat 2D display, and a slimmer 8.29mm body.
• The waiting game is finally over, sort of.
• After weeks of rumors, Xiaomi has teased the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, confirming some key specs and the unveiling date. While most phone makers are adding more cameras, Xiaomi is going back to a triple-lens setup with the 17 Ultra.
• This phone also blends familiar flagship DNA with some bold new choices, and if you’ve been holding out for a premium shooter that doesn’t feel like a brick, you’re going to want to pay attention.
