Xiaomi 17 Ultra Receives Regulatory Approval for Direct Satellite Connectivity, Tipster Claims
Xiaomi 17 Ultra connectivity details have surfaced online, weeks after the company launched the Xiaomi 17 series in China. While the current lineup comprises the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, the smartphone maker is also expected to launch the top-of-the-line Xiaomi 17 Ultra, in the future. A recent radio certification listing, which reveals its model number, hints at an upcoming launch. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is expected to feature a quad rear camera setup, featuring a 200-megapixel primary sensor, and could be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset from Qualcomm. The phone may arrive in early 2026 as the successor to the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
Xiaomi 17 Ultra Connectivity Features (Expected)
Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) on Weibo claims that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, with model number 25128PNA1C, has been listed on a regulatory website in China. The handset is said to offer Tiantong-1 and BeiDou connectivity for satellite calls and messages. The listing also indicates ultra-wideband (UWB) support, which is useful for locating lost devices and tracking smart tags.

The model number 25128PNA1C differs from the 2512BPNDAG and 2512BPNDAI model numbers spotted earlier in September. This suggests the device could be a China-specific variant with satellite connectivity support, or Xiaomi may release two versions of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra.

While the listing on China’s radio certification platform doesn’t explicitly mention the specifications, previous rumours suggest that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will come with a quad rear camera unit, headlined by a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor. The camera setup could also include three 50-megapixel cameras. Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset is expected to power the phone.
