Xiaomi is expected to launch its upcoming Xiaomi 17 series in India with premium pricing. The lineup is likely to include the standard Xiaomi 17 and the higher-end Xiaomi 17 Ultra. While the company has not officially confirmed details yet, early leaks are giving a clearer idea of the expected pricing and specifications.
Expected Price in India
According to tipster Abhishek Yadav, the standard Xiaomi 17 could be priced at around ₹80,000 in India, while the Xiaomi 17 Ultra may launch at approximately ₹1,25,000.
If this pricing turns out to be accurate, both models would be significantly more expensive than their predecessors, which launched at ₹64,999 and ₹1,09,999, respectively. The increase suggests that Xiaomi is positioning the new series in the premium segment.
At these prices, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra would compete directly with flagship devices like the Samsung Galaxy S Ultra series and Apple’s iPhone Pro models. For comparison, the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro launched in India at ₹1,29,999 and ₹1,34,900, respectively.
Meanwhile, the standard Xiaomi 17 could go up against the base iPhone 17 and Galaxy S25, which are priced around ₹82,900 and ₹80,999.

Both models are expected to run on Android 16-based HyperOS 3 and be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The phones are also said to feature Leica-tuned triple rear cameras along with a 50-megapixel front camera.
Display and Battery Details
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is expected to feature a large 6.9-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display, along with a 6,800mAh battery that supports 90W wired and 50W wireless charging.
