Key Takeaways
1. Two versions of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra are expected in China, identified by specific model numbers.
2. A new model for the global market, numbered 2512BPNDAG, has been discovered, indicating a triple-camera setup.
3. A second model for Europe, informally known as P1S, will likely be branded as the “Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi.”
4. A premium “Xiaomi 17 Leica Leitzphone Edition” is anticipated, featuring a unique design and advanced clip-on optics.
5. Both models are expected to share the same camera system, but the special edition may have distinct color and design elements.
Up to this point, it was generally believed that there would be two versions of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra in China. The flagship camera, which is set to debut this month, has always been seen as a pair in certifications, identified by the numbers 2512BPNDAC and 25128PNA1C. However, a recent discovery from December 4, 2025, in the IMEI database has provided the first solid clue about the standard global Xiaomi 17 Ultra. The number found was 2512BPNDAG, which aligns with leaked images that confirmed a triple-camera setup, differing from the quad-camera seen in the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
Upcoming Models in Europe
Interestingly, there is also a second model expected to be launched in Europe. Besides the P1 model numbered 2512BPNDAG, which is likely to be the standard Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the GSMA database has unveiled another model number, 25128PNA1G. According to Xiaomitime, this model is informally known as P1S and will probably be branded as the “Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi.” It remains uncertain if this will be the final name used for marketing.
High-End Variant Expectations
A “Xiaomi 17 Leica Leitzphone Edition” seems plausible, especially since Xiaomi likely wants to retain some connection to the Xiaomi 17 Ultra name. More intriguing than the name itself is what will set this premium version apart from the base Xiaomi 17 model. Reports from China a few weeks ago indicated that both models would have the same camera system, but the special edition is expected to come in a unique color, feature a more eye-catching design, and include “advanced” clip-on optics. It’s worth noting that Sharp already has a Leitz Phone smartphone line, but it is only available in Japan.
