Xiaomi 17: What to expect

According to the report, the phone is listed on the benchmarking website with Android 16 and 12GB of RAM. The smartphone is said to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

 

The Xiaomi 17 in China sports a 6.3-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2,656 x 1,220 pixels and supports a 120Hz refresh rate. For photography, the smartphone includes a Leica-supported triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP primary Light Fusion 950 sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens and a 50MP ultrawide sensor. At the front, it features a 50MP selfie camera.

 

The Xiaomi 17 ships with Android 16 based on Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3.0 interface. It packs a 7,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging support.

 

According to a Hindustan Times report, the Xiaomi 17 Pro could launch alongside the Xiaomi 17.  

 

Xiaomi had previously limited the Pro variant of the Xiaomi 15 series to China, and it may repeat the same approach this year.

 

The report also noted that the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra are currently being tested in India. Based on this information, Xiaomi does not seem to be preparing Pro or Pro Max versions for global markets at the moment, which aligns with the company’s pattern of keeping some models exclusive to China.
