Xiaomi 17 Ultra
What Is It?
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra (16GB + 512GB, White) is Xiaomi's most ambitious flagship yet — and arguably the best camera phone you can buy in India in 2026. Co-engineered with Leica, it features the world's first 1-inch LOFIC sensor paired with a 200MP periscope telephoto lens with true mechanical continuous zoom from 75mm to 100mm. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 on a 3nm process, backed by a 6,000mAh Surge Battery with 90W HyperCharge, and displaying everything on a 6.9-inch 2K AMOLED panel — this is a phone that redefines what mobile photography can be.

8.6/10
If you live to photograph, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra has no equal under ₹1.5 lakh in India. The Leica 1-inch LOFIC sensor and 200MP continuous-zoom telephoto deliver shots that rival dedicated mirrorless cameras. Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 performance is top-tier, the 6,000mAh battery comfortably lasts a day and a half, and the 2K AMOLED display is gorgeous. The only caveats are HyperOS software ads and a premium price tag. For serious photographers and power users, this is worth every rupee.
