The periscope shooter will provide 5x optical zoom and up to 50x digital zoom. First camera samples from The Bund in Shanghai and the hills of Guilin showcase the performance of the camera in two very different lighting setups – one in the dusk with the pinkish hues of the sky and the other in broad daylight.

The camera’s zoom capabilities are also demonstrated in two short videos. One is taking selfie from a small mirror across the office, the other is zooming from the Xiaomi HQ in Beijing all the way to the Wangjing SOHO complex of buildings – that is 15 km distance between both of them. Thanks to the 50x zoom, the Zaha Hadid piece of art suddenly becomes part of the scenery.
In a separate post, Xiaomi confirmed the camera layout of the Mi 10 Youth – the main snapper in the top left corner will be accompanied by the macro lens on its right side. The second row has the ultrawide lens and the periscope shooter with a 5P lens inside.
