Under the hood, the Xiaomi 17 series will be the first to use Qualcomm’s brand-new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which goes official next week. On top of that, Xiaomi is said to be pushing huge batteries: the standard model is expected to carry a 7,000mAh pack, while the Pro Max might go up to 7,500mAh.
Xiaomi’s rear display could be a big deal
Xiaomi is clearly betting that a standout design change, paired with meaningful functionality, will help its new flagships stand out. A secondary screen you can actually use could be a strong selling point, especially when it brings extra convenience without needing to unlock the phone.
The big rectangular camera island is also shaping up to be a 2025 trend. Apple already went that route with its iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, and now Xiaomi is putting its own spin on it by adding a feature-rich display.
Xiaomi’s new direction looks promising
Personally, I like the idea. A rear display that serves up key info at a glance sounds useful, especially if it reduces how often you need to pick up and unlock your phone. And it’s not just a cosmetic change – Xiaomi is also delivering on hardware with the new Snapdragon chip and huge batteries. All of this makes the Xiaomi 17 series a solid step forward from the Xiaomi 15 lineup.
