The Xiaomi 17 Ultra will arrive in three colours: Black, White, and a new Starry Green variant. The Starry Green model stands out with mineral particles embedded in the rear panel, giving it a metallic, textured finish. Xiaomi’s teasers also confirm a triple rear camera setup, housed in a large circular module.
Design-wise, the phone features a flat display, segmented volume buttons, and a slim 8.29mm profile, suggesting a cleaner, more refined look compared to earlier Ultra models. Internally, the device is expected to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
Leaks point to serious camera hardware, including a 1-inch main sensor, a 200MP periscope telephoto, and upgraded Leica optics. While the December 25 event is China-only, Xiaomi is expected to roll out the 17 Ultra globally in the coming months.
