The device will launch running Android 16 with HyperOS 3 on top, unsurprisingly. It has support for 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth LE, and wireless charging built-in.

According to previous rumors and leaks, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. It will of course be the brand's all-out camera flagship, rumored to include a 1-inch type main sensor.
