Xiaomi has officially unveiled the Xiaomi 17, its latest flagship smartphone, at an event in China. Launched alongside the Pro series, the Xiaomi 17 combines cutting-edge display technology, Leica-powered imaging, and a massive 7000mAh battery for an all-round flagship experience.
The device features a 6.3-inch 1.5K flat LTPO OLED panel with an adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rate and ultra-narrow 1.18mm bezels, ensuring a premium full-screen experience. It also debuts Xiaomi’s new domestically developed red light-emitting material, offering a peak brightness of up to 3500 nits for unmatched outdoor visibility. Protection is handled by Xiaomi Dragon Crystal Glass, which the company claims offers 10x drop resistance.
Powering the Xiaomi 17 is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The device incorporates a three-dimensional ring-shaped cooling system, which Xiaomi says delivers triple the performance of traditional vapor chambers, keeping the phone cool during intense gaming and extended usage.
In the camera department, the Xiaomi 17 boasts a triple Leica Summilux setup, headlined by a 50MP Light Fusion 950 sensor with OIS, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP 2.6X telephoto camera. Computational photography is enhanced by Xiaomi’s AISP 2.0 platform. For selfies, the front camera has been upgraded from 32MP to 50MP, supporting 4K 60fps video recording.
The highlight is its enormous 7000mAh battery with high silicon content, promising exceptional endurance, strong low-temperature performance, and a five-year lifespan. The phone supports 100W Xiaomi Surge wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and reverse charging options, making it one of the most power-efficient devices in its class.
Other features include IP68 dust and water resistance, in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, USB Type-C Hi-Res audio, and Xiaomi HyperOS 3 based on Android. Connectivity is future-ready with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, dual 5G, NFC, and NavIC GPS support.
