The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is generating buzz, but not for the reasons you'd expect. A recent leak reveals a surprising price tag and a controversial battery capacity for the European market.
According to a German retailer listing, the Xiaomi 17 will soon launch in Europe, and its price has been unveiled. But here's where it gets intriguing: the leak also suggests that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, a more powerful variant, will carry a hefty price of €1,499 for the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage model. That's a significant sum, especially considering the device's specifications.
But the real controversy lies in the battery capacity. The leak indicates that the global version of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will have a 6000 mAh battery, which is a noticeable downgrade from the 6800 mAh battery available in China. This has sparked debates among enthusiasts, who are questioning why the global variant is getting the short end of the stick. And this is the part most people miss: Is this a deliberate strategy by Xiaomi, or simply a supply chain constraint?
In terms of aesthetics, the leak suggests that the device will be available in white, black, and green color options, leaving the purple variant exclusive to the Chinese market.
For those eager to learn more, a video review of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is available, offering a comprehensive look at this intriguing device. And for those who prefer a more detailed analysis, an in-depth written review is just a click away.
