Emir BardakçıThe Xiaomi 17 Ultra has recently been seen in the Geekbench benchmark listing, showing important specifications of the phone even before its official launch. The Geekbench listing of this device, with the name 2512BPNDAC, not only confirms top performance but also shows how closely it will match the already reviewed Xiaomi 17 Pro.
The early presence of this device in the benchmark list further supports speculations that the coming Ultra-series device will target performance, power, and platform optimization in the HyperOS environment.
Geekbench Performance Details
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra, as reported by the Geekbench database, scored 3,559 points in single-core and 10,854 points in multi-core tests. This is about what is expected of phones that come powered by Qualcomm’s latest flagship processor, indicating stable CPU scheduling and thermal management. Moreover, this shows that Xiaomi is still concentrating on optimizing at a system level instead of just optimizing at the CPU clock rate.
The bench-marking data also reveals that the testing of the device was done with at least 12GB of RAM, which is now a standard for Xiaomi’s Ultra lines. The 12GB RAM is important for enhanced multitasking functions, AI capabilities, and stability of software operations, especially with the Android 16 operating system.
Snapdragon 8 Elite and HyperOS 3
The specifications of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, marking the fifth generation of Qualcomm’s flagship platform. This processor aims to provide better CPU power optimization, AI capabilities, and power management. This move by Xiaomi correlates with its approach of using high-end processors and integrating them with their software.
On the software front, the device supports Xiaomi HyperOS 3, based on Android 16. HyperOS 3 is believed to offer optimized system animations, enhanced management of background tasks, and cohesion between all Xiaomi smartphones, tablets, and smart home devices by using Xiaomi HyperConnect. The developments are required for a smooth interface on all Xiaomi devices.
Launch Event and Expectations
The Xiaomi x Leica Imaging Strategic Cooperation Upgrade and Xiaomi 17 Ultra New Product Launch Conference has been scheduled by Xiaomi for December 25 at 19:00 (China Time). Though the pricing information has not been mentioned, the new products will definitely include improvements in the cameras, which have been developed by Xiaomi and Leica.
As the Xiaomi 17 Ultra has been listed only in Chinese benchmarking websites, it is expected to first appear in China. The global details have not been confirmed at this point.
