Xiaomi unleashed the new 17-series of flagships this week (and the 15T duo, but we\u2019ll save that for another week). This year there are three models \u2013 a vanilla Xiaomi 17 that takes over from the Xiaomi 15, a Xiaomi 17 Pro that has the same 6.3\u201d size but offers more premium features (better tele camera, secondary screen) and the large model that is now called the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max.<\/p>\n

The Xiaomi 17 starts at the same price that the Xiaomi 15 cost last year. This is no longer the best 6.3\u201d Xiaomi flagship, though \u2013 that would be the Pro, which is around 10% more expensive. Finally, the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max drops the base 256GB model and makes the 512GB model a bit pricier than a 512GB Xiaomi 15 (6.73\u201d) cost last year. Here are the starting prices for the three new models:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n

The Xiaomi 17 Pro<\/a> brings to bear the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5<\/a> in a fairly compact package. It has a 6,300mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. For comparison, the Xiaomi 15 had a 5,400mAh battery in China \u2013 this is an important note as international models might change the available capacity.<\/p>\n

The triple camera system consists of a 50MP Light Fusion 950L sensor (1\/1.28\u201d) with an OIS-enabled Leica Summilux lens, a new 5x telephoto module (also with OIS) and a 50MP 17mm 102\u00b0 ultra-wide camera. The tele camera offers 5x zoom, but it can shoot up close too with a macro mode that works at 20cm. The ultra-wide camera has a 50MP sensor and a fairly narrow 102\u00b0 field of view.<\/p>\n

The 6.3\u201d 1-120Hz LTPO display on the front is similar enough to the previous model \u2013 it is brighter at 3,500 nits peak and has slimmer 1.18mm bezels, but the major upgrade this generation is the improved power efficiency. And then there is 2.7\u201d display on the back (904 x 572px) with the same 3,500 nits peak brightness (it even has DC dimming and up to 120Hz refresh rate). This enables customization, offers at-a-glance info, has some fun uses (e.g. gaming with a retro case) and, most importantly, it enables main camera selfies.<\/p>\n

Is the Xiaomi 17 Pro the mini flagship of your dreams or do you have your eyes set on a different phone?<\/p>\n
