The tech world is abuzz once again as Xiaomi readies its next wave of smartphone launches. Recent certification listings have now identified that the XIAOMI 17, POCO F8 Series, and Redmi Note 15 have been officially certified and thus are getting ready for their global launch anytime soon.
These devices, which were spotted on Singapore’s IMDA (Infocomm Media Development Authority) website, have sent waves of excitement both among fans and in the industry. Here’s everything we know so far about these highly anticipated smartphones, their expected specifications, and what these certifications reveal about their global launch timeline.
Xiaomi 17: A Flagship Powerhouse Coming Your Way
The flagship lineup of Xiaomi continues to grab headlines, and the case with the Xiaomi 17 is no exception. The device has been spotted on the IMDA certification website with the model number 25113PN0EG, which confirms connectivity for 5G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC. Well, this essentially means that Xiaomi is preparing for a global rollout, following its earlier China debut.
Expected Specifications
Going by the Chinese version, the Xiaomi 17 should be fitted with top-of-the-line hardware such as:
- Display: 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a sharp 1220 × 2656-pixel resolution.
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, fabricated on the 3nm process node, combines outstanding performance with power efficiency.
- Battery: Huge 7,000 mAh cell with 100 W wired and 50 W wireless fast charging.
- Cameras: Triple 50 MP rear cameras and a 50 MP front camera for flagship-grade photography.
- Software: Likely to boot HyperOS based on Android 15.
The Xiaomi 17 aims to redefine flagship performance while combining stunning design with unparalleled power. Its certification in Singapore is a strong indication that the global launch, maybe including India, will happen anytime soon.
Why It Matters
With its entry into global markets, the Xiaomi 17 will strengthen Xiaomi’s position in the premium segment, competing head-on with Samsung’s Galaxy S series and OnePlus flagships. The inclusion of a big battery and top-of-the-line chipset could make it one of the best-balanced premium smartphones this year.
More than that, for Indian users, this certification is exciting because Xiaomi generally follows up the IMDA certifications with listings on BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) before launching in India.
POCO F8 Series: Where Performance Meets Affordability
The POCO F8 Series — POCO F8 Pro and POCO F8 Ultra — have also appeared on the certification databases, which means the global launch is near. The listings on IMDA showed the POCO F8 Pro bearing the model number 2510DPC44G and the F8 Ultra as 25102PCBEG.
Besides Singapore, these models have also appeared on Thailand’s NBTC certification site, further confirming that Xiaomi’s sub-brand POCO is getting ready for a multi-market launch.
Expected Specifications
While POCO has not confirmed any specifications, it is likely that the POCO F8 series will be rebadged variants of Redmi’s K90 lineup, according to leaks. Expected highights:
- Display: AMOLED panels with 120Hz refresh rates.
- Processor: Probably Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Dimensity 9400, depending on the variant.
- Battery: Up to 7,000 mAh for the Ultra model, with 120 W fast charging.
- Cameras: 50 MP Sony sensors with OIS support.
- Given: 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC were already confirmed via certification.
With near-flagship performance coming at a more affordable price point, the POCO F8 Pro and Ultra aim to continue the formula that long defined POCO’s identity in the market.
Design & Positioning
POCO has traditionally been known for making bold design choices and early renders of the F8 series reveal aggressive styling, sharp camera modules, and vibrant finishes. The company’s target will likely be gamers and power users looking for strong performance without flagship pricing.
If the rumors are correct, the POCO F8 Pro could be a global version of the Redmi K90 Pro, making it a potential game-changer in the mid-to-upper premium category.
Why It Matters
The POCO F8 Series could be one of the most popular performance phones in 2025. Boasting a big battery, a flagship display, and a powerful chipset, it is likely to attract gamers and enthusiasts who want top specs without flagship prices.
Listings by IMDA and NBTC indicate that the launch could be imminent, probably within weeks and just in time to coincide with Xiaomi’s Q4 global event.
Redmi Note 15: The Budget King Evolves
The Redmi Note series has been a strong backbone for Xiaomi’s success in countries like India, and the next model in the series, the Redmi Note 15, also appeared on IMDA’s website. The listing reveals the model number 2510DRA23E, confirming the presence of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC. Curiously enough, the certification does not mention 5G; hence, this may well be a 4G-only variant or possibly some sort of regional model.
Expected Specifications
While details are still limited, here’s what leaks and trends suggest:
- Display: 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz.
- Processor: Will probably arrive with a MediaTek Dimensity or Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset.
- Battery: 5,000 mAh with 67 W fast charging.
- Camera: 108 MP primary camera and 16 MP front sensor.
- Software: HyperOS based on Android 15.
It will probably launch different variants, such as the Note 15 4G, Note 15 5G, and Note 15 Pro, targeting different price brackets and markets.
Why It Matters
The Redmi Note series has consistently delivered on a great blend of performance and value, and the Note 15 won’t look to change that legacy. The 4G listing may hint at Xiaomi’s strategy of keeping the Note series affordable yet with high-end features like AMOLED displays and fast charging. The Redmi Note 15 could easily be one of the most impressive options of 2025 for budget-conscious users, as it excellently balances price and design with everyday performance.
