Xiaomi has just launched the much-anticipated Xiaomi 17 Ultra in China. Speculation is rife that its global journey may begin soon, as its overseas variants have received approval in multiple countries, including India, Thailand, and Singapore.

As can be seen above, the Indian variants of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and Xiaomi 17, with respective model numbers 2512BPNDAI and 25113PN0EI, have been approved by India’s BIS authority.
The above screenshots show that both phones, carrying model numbers 2512BPNDAG and 25113PN0EG, respectively, have also been certified by the NBTC authority in Thailand.
Singapore’s IMDA authority approved the standard Xiaomi 17 back in October. The above screengrab shows that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s two variants, with model numbers 2512BPNDAG and 25128PNA1G, have been certified by the IMDA certification platform. While the 2512BPNDAG is the regular Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the 25128PNA1G is believed to be the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition.
Xiaomi Group VP and CMO Xu Fei recently confirmed that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will be released globally in 2026. However, the official timeframe has yet to be confirmed. Rumors surrounding the global launch of the Xiaomi 17 series suggest that it could debut in March 2026.
Reports also indicate that the global versions of the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra will feature smaller batteries than their Chinese counterparts. While the Xiaomi 17’s Chinese edition packs a 5,400mAh battery, its global version may come with a 5,240mAh battery. Similarly, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra sold in China houses a 6,800mAh battery, whereas its global edition may include a 6,000mAh battery.
What about the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max? Reports suggest that these devices may not launch in markets outside of China.
