Xiaomi has officially confirmed that its next global launch event will take place in Barcelona on February 28, just ahead of MWC.
The teaser shared on X carries the tagline:
Meta to Shut Down Messenger App Completely – Deadline Announced
Gold Price Jumps by Rs. 7,100 Per Tola – Fresh Record in Pakistan“The New Wave of Imagery is arriving”
This strongly hints at the international debut of the highly anticipated Xiaomi 17 Ultra.
For Pakistani fans, this is big news — because Xiaomi typically brings its global flagship devices to Pakistan shortly after international launch.
What to Expect at the February 28 Event
Confirmed & Rumored Devices:
-
Xiaomi 17
-
Xiaomi 17 Ultra
-
Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro
-
Xiaomi Watch 5
-
Xiaomi Tag
However, reports suggest that the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max may remain exclusive to China, including the variant featuring a rear display.
Meta to Shut Down Messenger App Completely – Deadline Announced

POCO X8 Pro Max – Full Leaks, Specs & Expected Global Launch DetailsGlobal Variant vs China Variant – Key Differences
Recent leaks suggest that global versions will mostly match Chinese specifications — with one major difference: battery capacity.
Xiaomi 17
-
China variant: 7,000mAh
-
Global variant: 6,330mAh
Xiaomi 17 Ultra
-
China variant: 6,800mAh
-
Global variant: 6,000mAh
This adjustment is likely due to international regulatory requirements.
Other specifications, including chipset, display quality, and camera hardware, are expected to remain largely unchanged.
Focus on Camera Innovation
The event tagline suggests heavy emphasis on camera technology.
Xiaomi’s Ultra models traditionally focus on:
-
Large primary sensors
-
Advanced periscope zoom
-
AI-powered photography
-
Professional imaging modes
If rumors are accurate, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra may once again compete directly with premium flagships in mobile photography.
Pakistan Launch – What to Expect?
Xiaomi has a strong retail and distribution network in Pakistan. Historically:
-
Global launch → Pakistan launch within weeks
-
Pricing adjusted for local market
-
Official warranty & PTA-approved variants available
If the global event takes place on February 28, Pakistani availability could follow shortly after.
However, official pricing and launch confirmation for Pakistan are still awaited.
Pricing Expectations
Reports indicate that European pricing may remain similar to previous models.
If that pattern holds, Pakistani pricing could also align closely with last year’s flagship positioning — though exchange rate and taxes will play a major role.
