Rumors about the Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s launch point to an early announcement on December 26. Tipster Digital Chat Station has also leaked the list of devices that are expected to launch alongside Xiaomi’s top-tier flagship.
According to the latest rumor, Xiaomi will announce the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered Xiaomi 17 Ultra alongside two Redmi midrange offerings. These are most likely the Redmi Turbo 5 and Redmi Turbo 5 Pro.
The Redmi Turbo 5 is expected to use MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 8500 chipset. The Redmi Turbo 5 Pro is expected to feature the Dimensity 9500 SoC. The Pro model is also expected to include a 9,000 mAh battery with 100W charging, while the non-Pro model could offer a 7,500 mAh battery.
Xiaomi is also set to introduce a new flagship smartwatch with eSIM support for standalone usage without a smartphone. The wearable is reportedly getting a 930mAh battery and will boot Xiaomi HyperOS.
The leak also points to a new midrange tablet, two pairs of TWS earbuds, and several IoT devices.
Xiaomi has already kicked off blind pre-orders for the 17 Ultra. The upcoming flagship is expected to cost as much as its predecessor in China. There is no word yet on whether that will translate to global pricing.
