Xiaomi is once again bringing a big surprise for Indian users who are excited about new technology. The company is preparing to launch its latest flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi 17, in India soon. Continuous leaks and tipster reports over the last few days have created a buzz in the tech community. People want to know what new things will Xiaomi bring this time?
When is the New Flagship Arriving?
A new listing spotted on Geekbench has confirmed that the global variant of the Xiaomi 17 is ready. The model number 25113PN0EG indicates that the company plans to launch it outside of China as well.
According to some reports, its global launch is possible in January 2026, while it might be seen in India in late January or February 2026. However, the status of the Pro model coming to India is still unclear, as the company often limits its Pro versions to China.
Testing Started in India: Xiaomi 17 Ultra Also Expected
Another report has claimed that both the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra are currently undergoing testing in India. It also suggests that preparations for a Pro or Pro Max model are not currently visible, which indicates that the company will focus on these first two models.

Expected Price in India
In China, the starting price of the Xiaomi 17 (12GB + 256GB) is CNY 4,499. Based on this, its price in India could be around ₹50,000. However, this is only an initial estimate, official information from the company is still awaited.
Will It Be a Hit in India?
A brilliant camera, robust performance, and a large battery, these three factors make it a strong contender in the Indian market. Moreover, the existing popularity of Xiaomi’s premium models in India makes it even more significant.
If the pricing is kept competitive, the Xiaomi 17 can certainly pose a stiff challenge to brands like OnePlus, Samsung, and iQOO.
