Beijing, October 12 (Daily Kiran) — The upcoming Xiaomi 17 Ultra continues to generate buzz as new leaks reveal that the flagship will feature direct satellite connectivity and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) support. The handset, which is expected to launch in early 2026, has reportedly received approval from a Chinese regulatory body for satellite communication capabilities.

According to the certification listing, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will support Tiantong-1 and Beidou satellite systems, enabling direct calls and messaging via satellite — a first for Xiaomi’s Ultra lineup. The listing also confirms UWB connectivity, allowing seamless communication with other ecosystem devices for precise spatial awareness and smart device integration.

However, the listing’s model number — 25128PNA1C — differs from the one previously spotted in September, suggesting that this could be a China-exclusive variant or that Xiaomi may launch two separate models, one with satellite support and one without.

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is rumored to feature a refined quad-camera setup, building on its predecessor’s imaging system, and will serve as the brand’s top-tier flagship for 2026.

As the launch approaches, more details about its design, performance, and global availability are expected to surface in the coming weeks.
