Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition (Leitzphone): Discover where to buy the true Camera Phone of this generation

In terms of specifications and photographic capabilities, Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition does not introduce anything new: it remains the same formidable Camera Phone, with a high-end spec sheet, Leica optics and optimizations. The additions are twofold, one involving aesthetics and a new hardware feature related to the camera.

As for aesthetics, the smartphone gains the infamous Leica red badge – a symbol of an even tighter and stronger partnership between the two brands. It also features a rear cover with a junction design that combines fiberglass and eco-leather, in Black or White color options: the final look is a style that calls to mind traditional camera bodies.

C’e8 poi un’aggiunta hardware, ossia il Master Zoom Ring: il modulo fotografico circolare e8 avvolto da una corona rotante che introduce un vero zoom manuale. Non solo design, quindi, ma un’aggiunta meccanica che trasforma l’esperienza: da “semplice” smartphone ad una sorta di macchina fotografica professionale.
