The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is available in Black, White, and Starlit Green finishes. It measures 162.9 x 77.6 x 8.29mm and weighs 218.4 grams. The handset comes with IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

Under the hood, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is equipped with the 4.6GHz 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with an Adreno GPU. The configuration includes 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. For thermal management, the phone incorporates a dual ring-shaped liquid cooling system designed to dissipate heat from both the central processor and the camera module, a solution the company claims improves thermal conductivity by 50 percent.

Powering the device is a 6,000mAh Xiaomi Surge battery. It supports 90W wired charging via USB-C HyperCharge and 50W wireless HyperCharge.

The lens assembly carries Leica's APO certification and utilizes a 3G+5P floating lens element, enabling telephoto macro shots from a distance of 30 centimeters. 

For selfies and video calls, the front-facing camera is a 50MP sensor that records video at up to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second.

Additional features include an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, a stereo speaker system with Dolby Atmos support, and a setup with four microphones.

For connectivity, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra supports WiFi 7, 5G, 4G, Bluetooth 6.0, GPS, NFC, and satellite communication capabilities.
