Xiaomi 17 Ultra Receives FCC and IMEI Approval

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra has been spotted on important US certification bodies, hinting at a broader release in the near future.

This signifies the official global launch of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. While it’s not groundbreaking news – previous flagship devices from Xiaomi usually have wide availability – in the ever-changing smartphone industry, assumptions can be risky.

The upcoming Ultra phone from Xiaomi has made an appearance on both the FCC and IMEI databases under the code number 2512BPNDAG. The presence of ‘G’ at the end confirms that this is an international model.

This is evident from the regulatory bodies involved. The FCC, which stands for the Federal Communications Commission, is the US agency responsible for telecommunications regulation.

Although an American entity, the presence of an FCC E-label indicates that the phone will also reach European markets.

On the other hand, IMEI refers to the International Mobile Equipment Identity – a globally recognized system of unique identity codes assigned to each mobile phone.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra specifications

From these regulatory listings, we can confirm that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will operate on Android 16 with HyperOS 3.0. It will support 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth LE connectivity, and wireless charging.

As expected, the device is rumored to be unveiled in China on December 26, hinting at a global launch in January alongside the rest of the Xiaomi 17 series.

The new premium Xiaomi model is said to feature a new 1-inch main camera sensor and run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor.

The battery capacity is anticipated to be between 6,000mAh and 7,000mAh, with support for 100W wired charging as indicated by China’s certification body.
