Xiaomi has unveiled the design of a new “Starry Green” variant of the upcoming Xiaomi 17 Ultra. The company has described it as its most visually striking Ultra phone to date. The new color joins the previously confirmed black and white options and features a textured finish made with mineral-like particles.
The phone uses a wraparound frame and a segmented circular volume key design. Xiaomi has also confirmed that the rear camera module has been reduced in size to improve grip comfort. The display is a flat 2D panel with large-radius corner curves, and the body measures just 8.29mm in thickness. Xiaomi claims this is the slimmest Ultra model it has released so far.
In terms of design, it drops the secondary rear display seen on the 17 Pro in favor of a cleaner, more straightforward camera layout. As a camera-focused flagship, the phone retains the centered circular camera module from the previous-generation 15 Ultra with Leica branding, along with the Ultra label positioned at the top left of the rear panel.
The company will launch the Xiaomi 17 Ultra on December 25 at 7:00 PM in China. It will be the first flagship under an upgraded Xiaomi × Leica imaging partnership.
The phone focuses on mobile photography and includes a 1-inch Omnivision OV50X primary sensor with LOFIC technology for enhanced dynamic range. It also features a 200MP periscope telephoto camera from Samsung, equipped with Leica APO optics to improve sharpness and clarity at long zoom ranges.
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is expected to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. It will likely feature a 6,800mAh battery with support for fast wired and wireless charging. Pricing is expected to start at around 6,999 yuan ($994) in China.
