Overview
People who like the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and live outside China have been waiting for a time. They have been waiting since the phone was released in China year. Now it seems like the wait is over. Someone shared a picture of what the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will look like when it is sold in countries. The picture shows the back of the phone and it looks a lot like the version they sell in China. If this picture is real then the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will look very nice when it is sold in places like India this month. The camera on the phone will still have the Leica brand on it which’s a good thing. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra will have the great look, as the version sold in China.
Abhishek Yadav shared a picture on X. The picture shows a phone with a clean and white look, kind of like Off-White. On the back of the phone you can see the model number 2512BPNDAG. The big round camera on the back looks like it is meant for taking quality photos. It has two lights and big sensors. This phone looks a lot like the version that came out last December. This means that Xiaomi is making the phone for people, in other countries. The Xiaomi phone has a camera module and it looks really good.
Launch Buzz and Pricing Scoop
We can expect the new product to be released to the world sometime in late February or early March. It is possible that it will be a deal at MWC 2026. There have been some leaks about the price. The price is around EUR 1,499 which’s about Rs. 1,60,100 For the version with 16GB RAM and 512GB in Europe. This is a lot of money. It is more than what people pay in China, which is CNY 6,999 or Rs. 90,000 For the version with 12GB RAM and 512GB. What about the price in India? I hope it will be reasonable considering what Xiaomi has done in the past with their prices, for the Xiaomi products.
The big change is the battery. This one has a 6,000mAh battery. The one in China has a 6,800mAh battery. They probably made it smaller to follow rules in countries or to make the phone thinner.
The rest of the phone is the same. It has Android 16 and HyperOS 3. The screen is really nice. It is 6.9 inches. Has great picture quality. It also has a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
You can get up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. This means the phone can do a lot of things at the time without slowing down. The global tweak has a balance of speed and storage. The HyperOS 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset make the phone very fast. The 6.9-inch screen is great, for watching videos or playing games.
Camera Arsenal and Build Quality
The Ultra is really great when it comes to cameras. The version from China has three cameras on the back: a 50MP camera with a big sensor and something that helps with shaky pictures, a 50MP camera for wide shots and a 200MP camera with a special lens for zooming in really far. On the front there is a 50MP camera for taking pictures of yourself. The Ultra charges fast it can go up to 90W when you plug it in and 50W when you charge it without a wire. The Ultra is also very strong it can get wet and dirty and still work which is great, for people who like to go on adventures.
The simple design of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra edition makes a lot of sense. Why change something that’s already good? The round part of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra edition and the work that Leica did on it help take really great photos. These photos are as good as the ones from the phones. The battery of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra edition should still last all day. This is true even though the battery is not as big as it used to be. If you want a phone that’s very powerful and do not care about fancy new features the Xiaomi 17 Ultra global edition might be the phone for you. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra global edition is a choice, for people who like powerful phones.
Compared to rivals like the Galaxy S26 Ultra, it packs similar silicon but undercuts on cameras and charging speeds. Xiaomi’s playing the value king card again. Stay skeptical until official word drops—these renders look legit, but leaks gonna leak. Excited? Me too; this could shake up the ultra-premium scene.
