Xiaomi is gearing up for a significant product launch cycle ahead of the Chinese Spring Festival. Insider Digital Chat Station (DCS) revealed that the company will unveil a wide range of devices, including flagship smartphones, mid-range models, wearables, tablets, and several IoT products.
The highlight is the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, a flagship smartphone powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. This device will focus heavily on advanced photography, boasting a 1-inch main camera sensor developed in collaboration with Leica and using the OmniVision OV50X sensor made domestically in China.
Alongside the main sensor, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will feature a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a remarkable 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. This combination is expected to position the 17 Ultra as one of the most camera-equipped devices in the premium Android segment.
Xiaomi is also expanding its mid-range lineup with the Redmi Turbo series. The Redmi Turbo 5 will be the first smartphone using MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 chipset. Meanwhile, the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro will step up with the more powerful Dimensity 9500e chip, both aimed to deliver strong performance at competitive prices.
In the wearables category, Xiaomi plans to release a new smartwatch running Android with its HyperOS system. This watch will include a 930mAh battery and support eSIM through an independent eUICC chip, allowing full cellular capabilities without the need for a connected smartphone—a clear upgrade over previous models.
Additionally, Xiaomi will launch two new wireless earbud models, a mid-range tablet, and various IoT devices to further strengthen its smart ecosystem. While the exact launch dates and formats remain unconfirmed, Xiaomi is expected to host a dedicated event for the 17 Ultra and possibly introduce other products around the same time.
This aggressive launch strategy underlines Xiaomi’s goal to start the year strong in multiple market segments, from flagship smartphones to smart home gadgets. The company aims to solidify its leadership by offering a diverse portfolio that aligns with evolving consumer demands.
