Xiaomi 17 Series is Here: Pro Max, Pro, and a New Wave of Smart Devices
Xiaomi has done it again. At the 2025 Lei Jun Annual Speech in Beijing, the company revealed its latest flagship lineup — the Xiaomi 17 series — along with the brand-new Xiaomi Pad 8 series and a fresh batch of smart home products. This year’s theme, “Change,” reflected Xiaomi’s ambition to expand its Human × Car × Home ecosystem, making daily life smarter and more connected.
Meet the Xiaomi 17 Lineup
The Xiaomi 17 series comes in three models: Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and the top-end Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. Each one brings something different to the table, but all three are powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 chip.

It’s not only pocket-friendly but also powerful, with a huge 7000mAh Surge Battery and lightning-fast 100W wired / 50W wireless charging. The Leica Summilux camera system adds pro-level photography, while the 3500-nit M10 display ensures crystal-clear brightness even under the sun.

Xiaomi 17 Pro & Pro Max: These are where things get futuristic. Both models feature a Dynamic Back Display — a secondary screen on the back that can show notifications, custom wallpapers, and even animated AI pets. The Pro Max goes further with a 5x periscope telephoto lens and Xiaomi’s new LOFIC HDR tech for next-level mobile photography. Battery life is also impressive: 6300mAh for the Pro and 7500mAh for the Pro Max, paired with ultra-fast charging.

Lei Jun didn’t just stop at smartphones. The event also showcased the Xiaomi Pad 8 series and a new range of home appliances, all designed to work seamlessly together.
