Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition: Is this REALLY Phone Camera Progress?

TEAM SGG PATREON https://www.patreon.com/SomeGadgetGuy Xiaomi helped usher in some incredible camera technologies on phones. From the 12S Ultra to the new 17 Ultra, few companies have delivered as consistently in the mobile camera space. However, as previous generations of Ultra were significantly more disruptive, and we're in an era of rising component and distribution costs, what does that mean for the 17 Ultra? Is it really delivering an upgrade over previous generations of Xiaomi Ultra? Let's take a look back at how we got here, and what the 17 Ultra can deliver! This video warrants a special shout out to the folks at Average Dad Tech! A HUGE THANK YOU for sending me a loaner Xiaomi 17 Ultra to test drive.
