Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the next high-end addition to Xiaomi’s flagship lineup, has surfaced on China’s 3C certification website — a strong indication that its official launch may be just around the corner. The upcoming device is expected to take the mantle as the top-tier variant in the Xiaomi 17 series, boasting several hardware upgrades and new connectivity features.
The 3C listing suggests that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will arrive with significantly improved charging capabilities over its predecessor. The device is reportedly compatible with a new charging adapter capable of delivering up to 120W of wired fast charging. This marks an upgrade from the Xiaomi 16 Ultra, which supported 90W charging, hinting at reduced charging times for the new flagship.
Interestingly, the certification also mentions support for satellite communication — a feature that has been gradually gaining traction among premium smartphones. This addition would make the Xiaomi 17 Ultra capable of sending and receiving messages in remote areas without traditional network coverage, putting it in competition with recent models from Huawei and Apple that offer similar capabilities.
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is expected to share the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with the rest of the Xiaomi 17 series, which launched in China earlier this year. However, it is likely to differentiate itself with an upgraded camera system, possibly featuring Leica optics, as well as a larger battery and improved display technology. With its certification now complete, an official announcement from Xiaomi could follow within the next few weeks.
