Forget the New iPhone, the Xiaomi 17 Series Has a Rear Screen and a Giant Battery
Xiaomi's new 17 Pro and Pro Max smartphones feature Snapdragon 8 Elite chips, Leica cameras, and batteries up to 7,500mAh, aiming to rival Apple's iPhone 17 series.
- On September 27, the Xiaomi 17 series goes on sale in China after Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max with preorders already open.
- Earlier this month, Xiaomi President Lu Weibing said skipping the '16' aligns the 17 series to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone 17, a strategy CEO Lei Jun emphasized at launch.
- Both Pro models ship with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and use 50MP main sensors with Leica Summilux lenses plus differing periscope telephotos on Xiaomi 17 Pro versus Xiaomi 17 Pro Max.
- The top-end model is priced up to 6,999 yuan, nearly $981, and pre-orders are live in China but likely won’t reach the United States due to the ongoing US ban on Chinese phones.
- With a 2,500-person chip team, Xiaomi aims to strengthen its vertical integration as its EV segment approaches a US$200 billion valuation and about 20% of revenue this year, according to Xiaomi said.
