A leak from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/xiaomi_17_ultra_camera_details_tipped-news-69869.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">earlier this week<\/a>, for example, suggests a slightly upgraded camera setup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760270529_352_gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"Xiaomi 17 Ultra to support direct satellite connection and more\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now, the handset has reportedly received approval from a Chinese regulatory body to use a direct satellite connection. According to the listing, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will support Tiantong-1 and Beidou connectivity for satellite calls and messages. The listing also reveals UWB support, which is a new feature for Xiaomi&#8217;s flagship phones.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a caveat here, though. The approval contains a model number 25128PNA1C, which is different from the one spotted earlier in September. This could mean that the device is a China-only variant with satellite connection support, or that it will come in two versions.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s too early to tell, so stay tuned for more Xiaomi 17 Ultra leaks in the following weeks and months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmochina.com\/2025\/10\/11\/xiaomi-17-ultras-satellite-version-receives-approval-in-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Via<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Xiaomi 17 series is all the buzz lately, and even rumors about the Xiaomi 17 Ultra started&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":73766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[342,111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-73765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-mobile","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
