Xiaomi Launches 17 Series and 15T

Xiaomi has launched the flagship Xiaomi 17 series — the 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max — powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, shipping with HyperOS and high-end LTPO OLED main panels and up to 16GB/1TB storage. The Pro and Pro Max introduce a large secondary rear display (Magic Back/Dynamic Back, roughly 2.7–2.9 inches) for widgets, notifications and as a viewfinder for rear-camera selfies and high-resolution/8K selfie video; all three use Leica‑co‑engineered 50MP triple cameras, with the Pro Max adding a periscope 5x optical telephoto and a larger telephoto sensor. Xiaomi highlighted very large batteries (around 7,000mAh for the base 17, ~6,300mAh for the 17 Pro and ~7,500mAh for the Pro Max), fast charging (100W wired and 50W wireless on the Pro models) and peak brightness near 3,500 nits; China pricing starts at roughly ¥4,499/¥5,000/¥6,000 and availability is currently focused on China. Separately, Xiaomi rolled out the Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro in the UK with MediaTek chipsets (Dimensity 9400+ in the Pro), Leica‑tuned cameras, a 5,500mAh battery on the Pro, 90W wired/50W wireless charging and competitive pre-order bundles on Amazon UK.
