Xiaomi 13 Ultra is expected to get a much improved periscope camera

The Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro, powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, were launched earlier this month in China. The Chinese tech giant is expected to bring the Xiaomi 13 series to the global market next year. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is also said to be part of the global series. A reliable tipster has now claimed that the periscope camera performance will “shock everyone”. Not much is known about the handset at the moment, but rumours suggest that it could come with super-fast LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

According to a after by tipster Kartikey Singh (Twitter: @That_Kartikey), the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will come with a vastly improved periscope camera. He had previously claimed that Samsung had become too lax with the zoom capabilities of the Galaxy S series camera.

Singh believes that Samsung could be surpassed by one of its rivals in 2023. However, the tipster did not go into specific details about the Xiaomi 13 Ultra’s periscope camera. We can expect this upcoming Xiaomi smartphone to offer better camera zoom performance than the Galaxy S22 Ultra that comes with 3x and 10x optical zoom capabilities.

In related news, tipster Digital Chat Station shared the alleged storage and memory configuration details of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. The smartphone could come with 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 512GB or 1TB of UFS 4.0 onboard storage.

Xiaomi had recently launched the Xiaomi 13 series in China, which includes the vanilla Xiaomi 13 and the Xiaomi 13 Pro. In terms of camera, the Pro model gets a triple camera setup on the back, with the main camera being a 50-megapixel 1-inch Sony IMX989 primary sensor. There’s also a 50-megapixel floating 75mm telephoto sensor and a 50-megapixel wide-angle sensor. It also features a 32-megapixel selfie camera on the front.
