The Xiaomi 17, a marvel from the Chinese smartphone giant, made its grand debut at the company’s latest hardware launch event. This cutting-edge phone is driven by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, freshly revealed at the Snapdragon Summit 2025. Photography enthusiasts will be thrilled with its three Leica-tuned rear cameras, promising professional-grade images. The Xiaomi 17 also impresses with its remarkably slim 1.18mm bezels and a lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 191g. Alongside the standard model, Xiaomi introduced the premium Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, rounding out its new flagship series. Notably, the standard Xiaomi 17, succeeding last year’s Xiaomi 15, does not include the secondary rear display found on its Pro siblings.
