The leaked image (via GSMArena) shows the cover glass with Leica branding. The camera cut-outs are placed similarly to Xiaomi 13 Ultra, but the size of the lens holes are slightly bigger, indicating brighter lenses could be in the making.

The periscope telephoto camera is also expected to feature a lens with f/2.5 aperture in contrast with Xiaomi 13 Ultra's f/3.0 aperture. Earlier, a tipster claimed that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra could get a Sony LYT-900 sensor for the primary camera with a variable aperture (f/1.63-f/2.5).
