The smartphone world moves at lightning speed, and Xiaomi has once again proven it knows how to set trends. The Chinese giant unveiled the Xiaomi 17 Ultra – its first Ultra-flagship with a flat display, which is not only powerful but also surprisingly compact. This phone isn’t for everyone, but for those who value technology, design, and cameras that outperform the competition.
Flat display and space-level hardware
The device features a 6.83-inch OLED display with a resolution of 3200 × 1440 pixels and a 120 Hz refresh rate. This screen delivers incredible smoothness and brightness, even in direct sunlight.
Under the hood, there’s the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with up to 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1 TB of internal UFS 4.1 storage. This level of power lets you run ultra-graphics games, edit 4K videos, and keep dozens of browser tabs open simultaneously – without a hitch.
Bonus for Apple ecosystem fans: desktop projection support on iPhone. Xiaomi breaks boundaries again, showing that cross-platform functionality can be stylish and convenient.
Cameras that don’t forgive mistakes
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is a true flagship camera phone. The main module with 50 MP (OmniVision OV50X) and third-generation LOFIC technology provides a wide dynamic range and detailed shots even in challenging conditions.
It’s complemented by a 50 MP ultra-wide camera and a 200 MP telephoto lens with smooth 3.2–4.3x optical zoom and OIS. Video? 4K at 120 fps. The 50 MP front sensor is perfect for bloggers, streamers, and anyone who loves professional-quality selfies.
At the presentation, the 17 Ultra was compared directly with the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the photos showed: sometimes Xiaomi can even surprise Apple.
Power and battery life
The 6,800 mAh battery with 90 W fast charging and 50 W wireless charging lets you forget about searching for an outlet all day. The IP69 rating makes the smartphone dust- and water-resistant – ideal for fishing, running in the rain, or extreme conditions.
The body thickness is reduced to 8.29 mm, and the weight is only 227 grams. For a phone with this hardware and cameras, that’s a true record.
Leica Edition – exclusive for connoisseurs
Xiaomi also introduced the special Leica Edition for those who want not just technology but style and uniqueness. This gadget is a standout accessory and a source of pride for anyone who likes to stand out.
