A phone with crazy-good Leica cameras, flagship-level speed, and a battery that lasts forever – all for way less than an iPhone 17 Pro Max. That’s exactly what the fresh leaks about the Xiaomi 17 Series price in India are promising, and tech fans are losing their minds. Could Xiaomi finally step up as a true premium player?
Reliable tipster Abhishek Yadav dropped the bombshell on X. The standard Xiaomi 17 might land around ₹80,000, while the top-dog Xiaomi 17 Ultra could hit ₹1.25 lakh.
That’s a big jump for Xiaomi, but it still undercuts Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max models that often cross ₹1.3 lakh. Many are calling it a “serious premium shift” – Xiaomi wants a bigger slice of the high-end cake.
Xiaomi 17 Ultra Key Specifications
Here’s what leaks say the beast will bring:
- Display: 6.9-inch 2K LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate – super smooth and bright
- Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset
- RAM/Storage: Up to 16GB RAM + 1TB storage
- Cameras: Quad 50MP Leica-tuned setup (including 200MP telephoto for epic zoom)
- Battery: 6,800mAh (India version), 90W wired + 50W wireless charging
- Software: HyperOS 3 based on Android 16
- Extras: IP68 dust/water resistance, sleek circular camera module
Colors tipped: Black, White, Green.
Quick Price Comparison Table (Leaked India Estimates)
| Model | Expected Price (₹) | Main Rivals |
|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 17 | ~80,000 | Mid-premium segment |
| Xiaomi 17 Ultra | ~1,25,000 | Galaxy S26 Ultra, iPhone 17 Pro Max |
In Europe, the Ultra is rumored at €1,499 (around ₹1.36 lakh), so the India pricing feels spot-on.
Launch looks set for early March 2026, right after global reveal before MWC. Xiaomi is clearly gunning for Oppo and Vivo’s Ultra models while fighting to grow in India’s premium space.
The big question: At Xiaomi 17 Series price levels, will the amazing cameras, raw power, and long battery win over buyers? Or will worries about software updates and service hold people back?
If the leaks hold true, this could shake up the premium phone game big time. What do you think – worth the splurge?
