Xiaomi 17 Ultra's launch timeframe officially confirmed

Xiaomi has confirmed that its 17 Ultra flagship phone will launch in China next week, stopping short of naming an exact date. That lines up with earlier rumors pointing to a December 26 release, though the company has not verified the specific day.

Xiaomi also said it is again working with Leica on the 17 Ultra’s camera system. According to machine-translated details from Chinese, the phone should bring upgrades to its telephoto camera and low-light image quality. The device recently passed through the FCC, suggesting an international launch may follow after the initial China release.
