Xiaomi appears poised to bring its latest flagship smartphones, the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra, to the Indian market in the coming months. According to insights shared by well-known tipster Yogesh Brar on X (formerly Twitter), both devices are currently undergoing testing in India, suggesting a potential launch as early as March. Here’s a rundown of everything we know so far.
Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra May Arrive Soon
Per recent leaks, Xiaomi is actively preparing the Xiaomi 17 series for Indian consumers. While the standard Xiaomi 17 debuted earlier this year in China, the highly anticipated Xiaomi 17 Ultra remains under wraps, with its official unveiling still pending. Nonetheless, expectations are high that the Ultra variant will enjoy a simultaneous global and Chinese rollout, just as previous Ultra models have.
Will India See the Pro Models?
Drawing parallels with last year’s Xiaomi 15 series, there’s talk that both the Xiaomi 17 and the top-tier Xiaomi 17 Ultra could be launched in India. Back in September, Xiaomi introduced the 17 series, which included the entry-level Xiaomi 17, a feature-packed 17 Pro, and a 17 Pro Max with a dual-display design and advanced rear camera setup. However, the rumour mill suggests that the Pro variants may not make it out of China, mirroring the limited global release of the Xiaomi 15 Pro. Despite the unique upgrades of the Pro lineup, including the rear-facing secondary screen, international availability remains uncertain at this stage.
What to Expect
As with all unofficial leaks and tips, details could change before the launch, so it’s wise to take the current information with a pinch of salt until Xiaomi makes an official announcement. Genuine anticipation surrounds the brand’s expansion, fueled by regular leaks and tipster updates.
