The Xiaomi 17 Ultra inherits the design of the Xiaomi 17 series, but is the first 'Ultra' model to feature a flat display. At just 8.29mm thick, it's the thinnest Xiaomi Ultra model ever. It comes in four colors: black, smoke purple, white, and starry sky green. There are three memory and storage combinations: 12GB + 512GB, 16GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 1TB.



There are also two photography kits available for photography enthusiasts, both of which feature magnetic attachments and an ergonomic form factor for a better grip when shooting.



The camera employs a triple camera system with 14mm, 23mm, and 75mm-100mm focal lengths to accommodate a variety of shooting scenes, and thanks to improvements in optical design and image processing, it is said to achieve high-precision, stable results even in low-light shooting at night.

The 23mm Leica 1-inch Ultra Dynamic Camera uses the Light Fusion 1050L sensor with LOFIC HDR technology, which achieves a wide dynamic range. With

a full well capacity 6.3 times larger than the previous generation 1-inch sensor, it improves highlight control and shadow detail in high-contrast situations such as nighttime or backlit shots.

The Leica 200MP 75-100mm Telephoto Camera features two lens groups that move independently to adjust focal length and focus, achieving an optical zoom range equivalent to 75mm to 100mm. The camera fully utilizes a large 1/1.4-inch telephoto sensor, achieving native 200MP resolution without digital cropping. It also utilizes the Leica APO optical lens design, which reduces the impact on color reproduction at the hardware level.



In terms of performance, the device is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC with the built-in high-performance Adreno 840 GPU, allowing it to smoothly handle complex tasks. The Xiaomi 3D dual-channel IceLoop system and newly developed capillary structure improve thermal conductivity by 50% compared to the previous generation.

The display supports 120Hz and has a maximum brightness of 3500 nits. Thanks to 'Xiaomi HyperRGB', it consumes less power than a typical 1.5K display, despite being a 2K display.

In terms of durability, the phone is rated IP66, IP68, and IP69, providing ample dust and water resistance. The back glass is protected by Xiaomi Shield Glass 3.0, which is said to be up to 20 times more resistant to drops than regular tempered glass.

The battery has a large capacity of 6800mAh and supports 90W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 90W USB PD PPS.

Prices range from 6,999 yuan (approximately 155,000 yen) to 8,499 yuan (approximately 189,000 yen) on the official Xiaomi online store.

There is also a special model called the ' Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica .' The Leica team was directly involved in the design, and the design is inspired by the Leica M series. The back panel has a matte finish with textured leather in a dual-tone design, and a dedicated Leica camera ring with 20 built-in high-strength bearings helps with precise focus adjustment.



The camera also features a unique mode that recreates the style of the Leica M9 and Leica M3. It also features the mobile industry's first CAI photo authentication technology, which uses a dedicated security chip to ensure that photos taken are not generated by AI.

The memory and storage combinations are '16GB + 512GB' and '16GB + 1TB', and the prices are 7,999 yuan (about 178,000 yen) to 8,999 yuan (about 200,000 yen).
