Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra India launch was tipped in a latest leak by a tipster. While the expected launch is still a couple of months away, the tipster also suggested that Xiaomi may bring back the T series smartphones to India which hasn’t seen a new addition in the country since 2022’s Xiaomi 11T Pro.
Tipster Abhishek Yadav posted on X, stating his sources suggest that “Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra are expected to launch in India in March.” The Xiaomi 17 debuted in China in September while the 17 Ultra was launched in December. Further, the Xiaomi 17T could also launch in India in April 2026. It will be a comeback for the T series phones from Xiaomi after 4 years.
No details about the specifications and pricing for the devices were shared and the tipster noted that the information he shared is unconfirmed for now, so take it with a grain of salt. If true, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra India launch will take place a year after the Xiaomi 15 Ultra was launched back in March 2025. The lineup in China also consists of the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max which have a secondary display on the back but there’s no word on whether those devices will also be making their way to India.
