Xiaomi's upcoming Ultra model will feature a 200 MP telephoto lens. It includes the Samsung ISOCELL HP9 sensor, which measures 1/1.4" and is designed to offer clear zoom to 200 mm and even 400 mm.

Glare presents a significant challenge for long telephoto cameras, which Xiaomi aims to address using a specially designed 24-layer ultra-low reflection glass. This glass features a unique coating that reduces reflectivity to only 1.5%.
