The Xiaomi 17 Ultra has appeared on a pair of key US certification bodies, indicating that it will indeed be receiving a wider release.
That means it’s official: the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is going global. While that’s not exactly a revelatory piece of news – previous flagship smartphones from the brand have tended to get a wide release – it’s never wise to assume anything in the smartphone business.
Xiaomi’s next Ultra phone has appeared (via TheTechOutlook) on both the FCC and IMEI databases under the code number 2512BPNDAG. The ‘G’ at the end confirms that this is indeed an international model we’re talking about.
That much is evident from the identity of the governing bodies themselves. The FCC is the Federal Communications Commission, which is the US government agency responsible for regulating telecommunications across the country.
While this is an American body, the appearance of an FCC E-label indicates that the phone is also headed for Europe.
IMEI, meanwhile, refers to the International Mobile Equipment Identity – the internationally recognised system of unique identity codes applied to each and every mobile phone. You’ll likely have encountered the number if you’ve had to negotiate insurance or stolen phone claims.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra specs
There isn’t much else to be gleaned from these regulatory appearances, other than confirmation that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will run on Android 16 with HyperOS 3.0. There’s also proof that it will feature 5G, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth LE connectivity, as well as supporting wireless charging.
No surprises there, then.
We previously heard it claimed that Xiaomi would be announcing the Xiaomi 17 Ultra in China on 26 December, which would suggest that a global launch in January could be on the cards, alongside the rest of the Xiaomi 17 line.
The new premium-priced model will reportedly pack a new 1-inch main camera sensor, and will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor.
The battery is expected to sit somewhere between 6,000mAh and 7,000mAh, and an appearance on China’s own certification body suggests that there’ll be support for 100W wired charging.
