Frank, a source, posted an article on the X platform today, sharing real-world photos taken with the global Leica version of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, “LEITZPHONE”.
It was observed from the photos taken by this source that this “LEITZPHONE” differs in appearance from the domestic version of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition. The Leica logo is placed vertically, and the Xiaomi logo at the bottom has changed from being horizontal on the left to being vertically centered.
Moreover, the appearance of the back cover of this phone is somewhat different from that of the domestic Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition. The back cover is a deeper black, and the frame color has been changed to champagne gold to match the rear camera lens group. The left side is also engraved with the iconic Leica camera text “LEICA CAMERA GERMANY”.
