The upcoming Xiaomi 17 Ultra is set to feature a massive 6,800 mAh battery, supporting 100W wired charging and wireless charging, a significant leap for mobile devices today. Insider Bald Panda highlights the color options available: black, white, green, and purple. In comparison, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, which debuted earlier this year, features a 6,000 mAh battery. However, the battery size of the 17 Ultra lags behind the 17 Pro, which boasts a 7,500 mAh unit.
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra, equipped with the latest Leica optics and an enormous battery, is expected to enter global markets shortly after its initial launch in China. This device measures 77.6 x 8 mm and weighs 227 grams, compared to the 75.3 x 9.4 mm dimensions and 226-229 gram weight of the 15 Ultra. The 17 Ultra features a flat 6.8-inch 2K LTPO display, a departure from previous curved panels. Inside, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset pairs with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.1 storage.
A standout feature is its redesigned triple-camera system, developed in partnership with Leica. It includes the industry’s first 200-megapixel periscope module, certified by Leica APO, designed to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration. Accompanying it is a 1-inch 50-megapixel main OmniVision OV50X sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide module. A 50-megapixel front camera awaits selfie enthusiasts. Previously, Xiaomi confirmed the Chinese launch of the 17 Ultra in a few days, with a global release to follow closely thereafter. Bald Panda previously correctly reported the launch dates and colors for Mate 50, Xiaomi 14, and 15 models.
With these specifications, Xiaomi positions itself well in the fiercely competitive smartphone market. The collaboration with Leica is a strategic move to enhance camera capabilities, a key area in consumer preferences. The battery improvements cater to users seeking long-lasting devices, a common pain point addressed by major brands. As technology rapidly evolves, Xiaomi’s step towards including cutting-edge Snapdragon and new generation memory types highlights their commitment to innovation. It’s remarkable how they manage to blend such powerful features into an attractive package, targeting both high-end users and photography enthusiasts. The competitive pricing, yet to be announced, will play an equally crucial role in solidifying its market presence.
