The Xiaomi 17, first introduced in China back in September, is now gearing up for its long-awaited international debut.
While Xiaomi has not officially confirmed global rollout plans, a reliable tipster has revealed the expected launch window for international markets. According to the leak, the Xiaomi 17 may make its global debut in January 2026, with India likely included in the initial release wave.
Adding credibility to the timeline, a new Xiaomi device—believed to be the global Xiaomi 17—has appeared on Geekbench. The smartphone carries the model number 25113PN0EC, aligning with Xiaomi’s global naming patterns. The benchmark listing also reveals several key specifications, offering a clearer idea of what international users can expect from the flagship.
The Geekbench entry confirms that the device runs Android 16 and packs 12GB of RAM, ensuring smooth overall performance. Powering the global variant appears to be the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, Qualcomm’s latest top-tier processor designed to deliver cutting-edge speed, AI capabilities, and energy efficiency. In performance tests, the phone achieved an impressive 3,176 points in single-core and 10,010 points in multi-core, reflecting strong processing power.
If Xiaomi maintains parity between the global and Chinese variants, the international Xiaomi 17 will feature a 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, promising smooth visuals and power-efficient performance. On the rear, users can expect a triple 50MP camera setup, offering versatile photography capabilities, alongside a high-resolution 50MP front camera for detailed selfies and video calls.
Battery performance is another major highlight. The device is equipped with a massive 7,000mAh battery, paired with 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging, making it one of the most robust battery setups in its class.
As January 2026 approaches, more details about pricing, market availability, and regional variants are likely to emerge. With top-tier hardware and flagship-grade features, the Xiaomi 17 is positioned to be a strong contender in the global premium smartphone market.
