Xiaomi’s next-generation flagship smartphones may soon make their way to India. New leaks have revealed a possible launch timeline for the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra in the country. Meanwhile, a third model believed to be the Xiaomi 17T is also said to be in development. Here’s a complete look at what is known so far.
Although the Xiaomi 17 Ultra has already debuted earlier in China, its global and Indian rollout is still a few months away.
According to tipster Abhishek Yadav @yabhishekhd on X (formerly Twitter), Xiaomi is expected to introduce the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra in India around March 2026. This launch window aligns closely with last year’s Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Ultra release schedule in the country.
The tipster also mentioned that Xiaomi could be preparing to launch another smartphone under the Xiaomi 17 lineup. This device is believed to be the Xiaomi 17T, which has recently surfaced in rumours.
Previous reports suggested that a new Xiaomi 17 series phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset is in the works, and the Xiaomi 17T could be that model. As per Abhishek Yadav, sources indicate that the Xiaomi 17T may arrive in India in April 2026.
However, this information is not yet confirmed and should be treated cautiously.
The Xiaomi 17’s India launch appears increasingly likely, as the smartphone has already been spotted on the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification database, confirming its arrival in the Indian market.
More official details regarding specifications, pricing, and availability of the Xiaomi 17 series in India are expected to emerge in the coming months.
Meanwhile, there have been reports of early feedback from Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition users with some buyers complaining that the zoom ring feels loose and produces a sound.
