The anticipation grows for Xiaomi fans as new rumors suggest the 17 Ultra smartphone is set for an official unveiling. Recent leaks indicate that the launch could happen in the fourth week of December, potentially marking an earlier debut than its predecessor. This article provides details on the expected launch timeline and hints at what this could mean for global availability.
A few days ago, a Chinese rumor suggested that Xiaomi plans to introduce the 17 Ultra in December, which is notably around two months ahead of the Xiaomi 16 Ultra's February launch last year. Today, a credible source on X has further narrowed this timeframe, indicating a launch date during the week commencing December 22 and concluding on December 28.

This accelerated timeline aligns with a trend noticed among several Chinese brands launching devices earlier than in previous years, including Xiaomi's own announcements for the 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max models. The pressing question that remains is whether the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will also be released for international markets, and if so, what the specific timing will be.
For context, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra was released globally at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona in February, shortly after its reveal in China. It’s unlikely that such a quick sequence will recur this time; however, if global release is on the agenda, fans might still be waiting until February for widespread availability. We will keep you updated as more information surfaces.
