Xiaomi 17 Ultra Set for Global Launch as Certifications Appear
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is expected to launch as early as next week, with new regulatory filings strongly indicating a global release. The upcoming Ultra model has now appeared in key international certification databases, confirming Xiaomi’s plans beyond the Chinese market.
The device was recently listed on both the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the IMEI database, a development that typically precedes an official announcement. While Xiaomi’s flagship phones often see wide international availability, these listings provide concrete confirmation that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will reach multiple regions.
Certifications confirm international model
According to listings spotted via TheTechOutlook, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra appears under the model number 2512BPNDAG. The “G” suffix indicates a global variant, distinguishing it from China-only models.

The FCC certification is particularly significant. Although the FCC is a US regulatory body, the presence of an FCC E-label also suggests that the phone is intended for European markets. Meanwhile, the IMEI listing confirms registration within the international device identification system used worldwide for mobile networks and device tracking.
Software and connectivity features
Regulatory documents reveal limited but important technical details. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is confirmed to run Android 16 out of the box, paired with HyperOS 3.0. Connectivity features listed include 5G support, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth Low Energy, and wireless charging.
No processor details are mentioned in the filings, but Xiaomi’s Ultra models traditionally debut with the latest flagship chipsets available at launch.
Leica camera upgrades take center stage
Leaks suggest the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will focus heavily on camera performance. Reports point to a 200-megapixel sensor with variable optical zoom, offering multiple focal lengths through a single sensor. Additional information from Chinese social platform Weibo indicates the phone may feature a new 1-inch camera sensor with Leica-certified APO optics, positioning it as one of Xiaomi’s most advanced camera phones to date.
These upgrades could mark a significant step forward for Xiaomi’s Leica-branded imaging lineup.

According to the same leaks, the Chinese version of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is expected to feature a 6,800mAh battery, supporting 100W wired charging via USB-C along with wireless charging. The phone is said to measure 0.31 inches thick and 3.06 inches wide, making it similar in size to the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, though slightly heavier at around 8 ounces.
Color options and regional differences
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is rumored to launch in black, white, green, and violet color options in China. It remains unclear whether all colors will be available in international markets. As with previous Xiaomi releases, the global version could also feature a different battery capacity.
Launch timeline
Leaks suggest Xiaomi could unveil the Xiaomi 17 Ultra in China as early as next week, with a global rollout expected to follow. Official confirmation from Xiaomi is still pending, but the certification listings indicate that a wider launch is imminent.
