Xiaomi, Poco, and Redmi appear poised to expand their global smartphone lineup, as four new devices were recently spotted on Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) certification website. The listings suggest that the global variant of the Xiaomi 17 could launch soon, accompanied by new Poco and Redmi models, including the Poco F8 Pro, Poco F8 Ultra, and the Redmi Note 15. Each listing provides model numbers and confirms the connectivity options of the upcoming devices. The Xiaomi 17 has already debuted in China, and a global rollout seems imminent.

The Xiaomi 17 global variant was listed under the model number 25113PN0EG on the IMDA site, signaling that an international launch could be close. In addition, the Poco F8 Pro and Poco F8 Ultra appeared with model numbers 2510DPC44G and 25102PCBE, respectively, reinforcing the idea that the Poco lineup is also gearing up for a worldwide release.

All three devices—the Xiaomi 17, Poco F8 Pro, and Poco F8 Ultra—are confirmed to support 5G connectivity alongside Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC. While the certification listings do not provide detailed specifications, the inclusion of 5G indicates that these models will target mid-to-high-end segments in international markets.

Meanwhile, the Redmi Note 15 4G was also certified under model number 2510DRA23E. Unlike the other three devices, this Redmi model lacks 5G support but includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC connectivity. The certification hints that Xiaomi’s sub-brand plans to offer a more affordable option for regions where 5G adoption is still limited.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Projects Stronger-Than-Expected iPhone Sales for Upcoming Holiday Quarter

Apple CEO Tim Cook has projected stronger-than-expected iPhone sales for the upcoming holiday quarter, signaling a robust demand for the new iPhone 17 series. Speaking on Thursday, Cook highlighted that the company is working to fulfill orders as quickly as possible despite ongoing supply chain constraints, particularly affecting shipments to China. This positive outlook suggests that Apple is confident in its ability to recover from previous shortfalls and meet customer demand during the critical holiday shopping season.

The supply challenges had contributed to Apple missing its iPhone sales targets in the fiscal fourth quarter. Delays in delivering the latest models to key markets, especially China, were among the factors that limited the company’s performance. However, strong demand for other Apple products helped offset these shortfalls, demonstrating the company’s diversified revenue streams.

AirPods featuring AI-based language translation have been one bright spot, contributing to higher-than-expected profits. These innovative devices, along with other accessories and services, helped Apple surpass Wall Street’s earnings forecasts even during periods of iPhone supply challenges. Analysts have noted that such product diversification continues to bolster Apple’s overall financial resilience.

Following the forecast, Apple shares rose 3.7% in after-hours trading on Thursday, reflecting investor confidence in the company’s ability to capitalize on strong holiday demand. The optimistic guidance underscores Apple’s strategic focus on managing supply constraints while maintaining high customer satisfaction across multiple product lines.
