With the official launch just hours away, Xiaomi appears to be positioning the 17 Ultra as one of its most photography-focused flagships yet.
Xiaomi has now officially confirmed that the upcoming Xiaomi 17 Ultra will arrive in a special Leica Edition. The move further reinforces Xiaomi’s long-running partnership with Leica, with the company signaling a deeper level of collaboration this time around.
The announcement was accompanied by a teaser image showing the phone’s retail box. It’s finished in black and carries both Xiaomi and Leica branding. The caption references a “strategic cooperation upgrade,” suggesting closer joint development rather than just tuning or branding.
Based on the official main and telephoto samples revealed so far, the hardware and software components of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s camera system appear to work hand in hand.
