Xiaomi 17 Ultra Gets Certified for Global Launch Ahead of Expected 2026 Release
Xiaomi 17 Ultra global launch news is heating up as new certifications confirm the flagship phone is heading to international markets, not just China. A global model has now appeared in the FCC and IMEI databases, showing support for key networks and confirming a broader release plan beyond its China debut.
Certified for Worldwide Networks
The global variant of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra has been spotted with model number 2512BPNDAG in FCC filings, suggesting it will be sold in markets including Europe. These listings show the phone will run HyperOS 3 based on Android 16 and support 2G through 5G mobile networks. The device also includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth and NFC.
Other certification info from the IMEI database confirms the same model number, tying it to Xiaomi’s upcoming Ultra flagship. This makes it clear the phone is moving past China for a global launch rather than staying limited to the domestic market.
Charging and Wireless Features
Beyond network support, the FCC listing confirms wireless charging through Wireless Power Transfer in the 110–148kHz range. The official charging speed is not listed yet, but past 3C certification hinted at faster charging than the previous Ultra model.
What to Expect From the Ultra
While Xiaomi has not shared full specs yet, leaks and certifications point toward a typical Ultra flagship setup:
- Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset (rumored) for peak performance.
- Quad or triple rear camera array with a likely 200-megapixel periscope lens for advanced zoom and imaging.
- Large high-resolution OLED display. Rumors also tie robust battery and fast wired and wireless charging to the device.
There are also hints that some global versions may include satellite connectivity for calls and texts in low-signal areas, though how this will vary by region is still unclear.
Launch Timeline
Reports suggest the Xiaomi 17 Ultra could first launch in China as early as late December 2025 before reaching global shelves in early 2026, possibly alongside the regular Xiaomi 17 global debut in January.
