Xiaomi 17: Five major upgrades for a comprehensive leap forward
Compact craftsmanship, comprehensive quality upgrade
The Xiaomi 17 combines a refined 6.3-inch compact design with flagship capabilities. It features a slender body of only 191g and 8.06mm thickness, providing an ergonomic grip. The specially designed large rounded corners have a super-elliptical shape for a softer and more refined feel. The subtly adjusted 19.6:9 aspect ratio, together with a minimalist bezel-less design at the top, provides a harmonious visual and ergonomic experience. Additionally, the new lightweight camera design combined with matte glass creates a light and smooth feel on the back.
Innovative M10 display and SuperRED light material
The Xiaomi 17 further reduces screen bezels to just 1.18mm by using LIPO display packaging technology. It has a peak brightness of 3500 nits, ensuring clear and legible viewing even in bright outdoor light. The Xiaomi 17 is also equipped with the innovative M10 display and SuperRED light material, a technological breakthrough that leads to more advanced light efficiency.
Leica Summilux system for outstanding imaging power
With the Leica Summilux imaging system, the Xiaomi 17's main camera uses a 50MP Light Fusion 950 sensor with an f/1.67 aperture and OIS, while the telephoto lens features a Leica 60mm floating lens design with an f/2.0 aperture and 10cm close-up focus capability. This delivers sharp and vivid images even in difficult lighting conditions. Furthermore, the new Master Portrait mode offers professional image quality with natural skin tones and detailed hair rendering.
7000mAh Xiaomi Surge battery, large capacity in a compact size
The Xiaomi 17 features a massive 7000mAh battery—the largest capacity among current 6.3-inch flagship phones—breaking the compromise between compact size and large capacity. Thanks to groundbreaking innovations in the latest generation of Xiaomi Surge battery, an ultra-high energy density of 894Wh/L is achieved, while the battery also benefits from a longer lifespan and excellent performance at low temperatures. The charging experience has also been significantly improved, with support for 100W wired fast charging, 50W wireless charging, and compatibility with the 100W PPS universal charging protocol.
Comprehensive flagship experience, industry-leading communication capability
The Xiaomi 17's communication capability reaches an industry-leading level with global network coverage in over 210 countries and regions, ensuring a stable and smooth network experience in various environments. The USB 3.2 Gen 1 high-speed port allows for easy transfer of large files, thereby significantly improving work efficiency.
Xiaomi 17 Pro series: Reshaping the next generation of premium smartphones
The Xiaomi 17 Pro series, consisting of the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, represents Xiaomi's most revolutionary innovations, offering a seamless symphony of dual displays and intelligent connectivity. The series is powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform and delivers industry-leading endurance. The Xiaomi 17 Pro series features an elegant body of only 8mm thickness and is available in four colors — black, white, purple, and green.
Groundbreaking dual-screen design revolutionizes mobile interaction
The Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max introduce a revolutionary dual-screen design that combines sophisticated aesthetics with intuitive, intelligent functionality. The Dynamic Back Display enhances both lifestyle and efficiency in various scenarios: customizable watch faces, AI wallpapers, virtual pets, dynamic information notifications, sticky notes, and much more.
Users can particularly enjoy creative freedom through various custom approaches — photos of pets or people can be transformed into AI wallpapers and displayed on the back, with support for dynamic backgrounds and multiple fun portrait styles. The upgraded virtual pet function also introduces the third generation of pets — the panda Pangda, which can perform a variety of actions depending on the scenario and even interact with the user's gestures.
At the same time, the Dynamic Back Display offers a wide range of real-time notifications, such as flight information, train ticket updates, delivery status, music playback, and much more. With the flexible pin feature, users can pin schedules, QR codes, and even emojis to the secondary screen. Furthermore, the back supports both previewing and selfies, making it possible to take self-portraits directly with the main cameras. It is also enhanced with advanced beauty algorithms and a wide selection of filters for clearer and more natural images, opening up unlimited creativity with the dual screen.
When the main screens are closed, the device instantly transforms into Handheld-Console Mode. It rests comfortably in the hand without missing any notifications on the back, and with the exclusive case connected via Bluetooth, it turns into a retro game console.
Innovative breakthrough in OLED display technology
The Xiaomi 17 Pro series introduces the innovative M10 Display Panel and SuperRED light material, providing excellent efficiency with ultra-high brightness and extremely low energy consumption. Additionally, the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max exclusively uses independent pixel array technology, delivering sharper image clarity while consuming less energy than conventional 2K displays. The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max is also equipped with Xiaomi Shield Glass 3.0, a super-strong protective glass that ensures safe and durable screen usage.
Leica Summilux and LOFIC technology for pro-level cinematic imaging
The Xiaomi 17 Pro series features the Leica Summilux imaging system, which meets all creative camera needs. The main camera receives extensive optical upgrades with a large f/1.67 aperture, 1G+6P lens, and anti-glare lens coating, powered by the Light Fusion 950L with a large 1/1.28-inch sensor and next-generation LOFIC High Dynamic technology, achieving an extremely high 16.5EV sensor dynamic range.
The Xiaomi 17 Pro debuts with an inverted floating telephoto lens that supports 20cm telephoto macro photography. The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max is equipped with a powerful 5x periscope telephoto lens with an expanded 1/2-inch sensor, large f/2.6 aperture, and hardware support for HDR. Its new light-gathering prism structure significantly enhances light intake, resulting in 30% higher light sensitivity.
Slim design and long battery life demonstrate Xiaomi's battery engineering expertise
With the Xiaomi Surge Battery, the Xiaomi 17 Pro series features a high content of 16% silicon for high energy density, as well as an L-shaped stacked battery that maximizes the use of internal space to significantly increase energy density while maintaining a slim form. This breakthrough results in a 6300mAh battery for the Xiaomi 17 Pro, while the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max reaches 7500mAh. The Xiaomi 17 Pro series models support 100W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and the universal 100W PPS fast charging protocol, enabling a convenient charging experience.
