Xiaomi 14 Ultra Camera Specs Revealed
Xiaomi said that the 14 Ultra has a comprehensive refreshed camera design. It uses Xiaomi’s advanced materials, pays close attention to details, constantly seeks changes in simplicity, and comprehensively evolves its shape, handle, and joints, add the company.
Xiaomi also shed more light on the camera system via its Weibo account. Starting with the main camera, you can expect a 50MP LYT-900 main camera (one-inch). The company says this packs a variable aperture able to open as wide as f/1.63.
Additionally, the company revealed that the phone will pack a 3.2x 50MP camera and a 5x 50MP periscope camera. These cameras both use an IMX858 sensor and have wide apertures for telephoto cameras, namely f/1.8 and f/2.6 apertures, respectively.
The periscope camera’s aperture, in particular, is an improvement over the f/3.0 aperture seen in last year’s Ultra phone. It’s also wider than the S24 Ultra‘s 5x camera (f/3.4). So we’re expecting improved low-light image quality at 5x compared to the Samsung phone.
