According to Singh, Xiaomi plans to present the Xiaomi 17 Ultra during the 4th week of December. Dubbed ‘the most powerful smartphone camera of 2025’, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is expected to combine an OmniVision OVX10500U primary camera with ISOCELL JN5 (S5KJN5) and ISOCELL HPE (S5KHPE) telephoto sensors, as well as a second ISOCELL JN5 for ultra-wide-angle optics.

Given that the 4th week of December falls over the Christmas period, we suspect that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will launch either on December 22/23 or December 27/28. Incidentally, Xiaomi elected to unveil the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro simultaneously on December 28, 2021.
