Xiaomi 15 was launched in China at the end of October last year. In February, Xiaomi also introduced the Xiaomi 15 Ultra to global markets. But this year, things were a bit different, with the 17 launching in China earlier than usual in September. As a result, we wondered if the Xiaomi 17 Ultra would arrive again only in February.

That seems to be the case. Xiaomi 17 Ultra will go official in China in December, according to the prolific leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo. As a result, it might only launch in China at that time, and its global release could still be months away.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC will be used, and wired charging will support 100W. Rumours suggest a new 50 MP primary camera with improved in-sensor zoom, a new 200 MP telephoto macro camera, an ultrawide, and possibly a short-range telephoto as well. There are very few differences between the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max’s display and the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max’s display.
