Xiaomi 17 launches with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, secondary display, and big battery
Xiaomi just unveiled its newest three flagship phones in China. The Xiaomi 17 series boasts a new design, rear-facing screens, and batteries that can hold up to 7,500 mAh.
The Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max are the first Android phones to use Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 CPU, and they are arriving in China before making their global debut. Each of the three phones has a different pricing range, with the Xiaomi 17 base model being the most economical.
Starting at CNY 4,499, or around $630 USD, the Xiaomi 17 boasts a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display, 12GB/16GB of RAM, and 256GB/512GB of storage. The phone boasts a large battery and four 50MP cameras—three on the back and one on the front. This phone from Xiaomi has a 7,000 mAh battery that can be charged at 100W and wirelessly at 50W.
Xiaomi 17 first to feature Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
With a fresh look, the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max, meanwhile, go one step further.
The smaller Xiaomi 17 Pro features a second OLED display on the rear in addition to the same 6.3-inch display as the standard model. Two of the 50MP rear cameras are encircled by the 2.66-inch display, which also has a third 50MP back camera beneath it and a 50MP selfie camera. It can be utilized with personalized themes, “Dynamic Notifications,” and sticky notes. It can also manage media controls and play games with a special case (via GSMArena). The Xiaomi 17 Pro, which starts at CNY 4,999, features a 6,300 mAh battery and up to 1TB of storage.
With its enormous 7.500 mAh battery and 6.9-inch display, the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max goes above and beyond.
The Pro Max’s rear display is identical to the smaller model’s, including the same 2.66-inch LCD and features. The screen and battery capacity are the only things that separate the two sizes. The design is even the same. The starting price of the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max is CNY 5,999.
Since the Xiaomi 15 series debuted globally in March of last year, we can presumably anticipate a global launch in February, give or take, given today’s early Xiaomi 17 launch in China. These phones will go on sale in China on September 27.
