Why does the zoom ring on the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Version have a visible gap that exposes the internal structure?

Question

Accepted Answer

If you notice a visible gap around the zoom ring on the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Version, please refer to the following explanation:
1. To deliver a more professional camera experience, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Version is designed with a mechanical zoom ring that simulates the tactile feedback of a traditional camera lens.
2. The zoom ring adopts a multi-stage precision mechanical structure. A reserved gap is intentionally designed to ensure smooth rotation, accurate damping feedback, and stable mechanical movement.
3. The slight exposure of internal structural parts within this gap is part of the normal design requirement and does not indicate looseness, poor assembly, or a quality issue.
4. This design will not affect dust resistance under normal daily use, nor will it impact the performance or lifespan of the device.
