Xiaomi official announcement of a new generation digital flagship will be officially unveiled this month!

Xiaomi brand general manager Lu Weibing also indicated when announcing the news that this time it will be featured under the name "Xiaomi 17" series!
Skipping from 15 to 17. Lu said this is a big leap forward in product power. Let Xiaomi face the "great opponent" - iPhone 17 series
Coming to the conference, Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max will be announced together.

In addition, Lu revealed that Xiaomi 17 series will debut Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
Confirmed the official name of Xiaomi 17 series, with the announcement of the new generation of mobile chips of Qualcomm.

Thank you for waiting. The new Xiaomi 17 series will meet with you this month. This will be the most significant leap in the history of Xiaomi's mobile phone digital series, and it will be released one month earlier than the previous generation.

Xiaomi 17 series, is Xiaomi high-end transformation of five years, but also ushered in the digital series of key changes, the whole system of product power cross-generational upgrade:
Xiaomi 17 series, including three products: Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, Xiaomi 17 Pro Max.
They will be the world's first fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition mobile platform.
Xiaomi 17, the flagship of the strongest standard version in history, has been upgraded in all directions without increasing the price.
Two models of Pro, the core technology of the big leap, to the ultra-high-end continuous exploration.
Xiaomi 17 Pro, Xiaomi's most exquisite small-size technology image flagship;
Xiaomi 17 Pro Max is the most powerful flagship of the peak technology image in Xiaomi's history.

Five years ago, we launched a high-end strategy to learn from our greatest rivals and firmly benchmark iPhone. So far, Apple is still very good. Everyone has seen the success of the iPhone 17 series, but we are still very confident that we will face the iPhone in the same generation.

This confidence comes from our solid progress in the past five years. On the one hand, it is a cognitive breakthrough, "high-end without short board, from parameter leading to experience priority, deep integration of software and hardware". Under the guidance of such cognition, the high-end of Xiaomi mobile phone has made remarkable progress for all to see.
More importantly, the technology continues to accumulate. In the past five years, we have invested more than 100 billion RMB in research and development, and the investment will increase to 200 billion RMB in the next five years. This time, on the Xiaomi 17 series, you will see a series of our latest achievements.

Of course, not only the underlying technology, this time we will also bring some different "new things" to the mobile phone, otherwise you may find the current mobile phone products a bit boring.

Price increase, renaming of mobile product line, Xiaomi really pushing to be the Apple of Android. :o


This renaming gets quite a bit of backlash from the mainland locals for skipping the number 16..I feel this brand manager needs to be fired.. buay sai liao.. they need to have their own unique branding like vivo and oppo..

I mean 16 is considered a "auspicious" number for Chinese, not surprised there's backlash.
I was totally waiting for the 16! 😭

Quite a pity Xiaomi has a lot of potential.. but bottleneck by their branding and software..
Yes, they just need to align and really work on their software.
Hardware and design wise pretty good for me, have been using them since their inception to SG IIRC..

Anyways, we might possibly have HyperOS 26 next? :s13:

Eh, their HyperOS provides cross device/Xiaomi platform syncing, no? Though I will say it's not as mature as Apple etc.
Never used Vivo/Oppo so can't really comment, but IIRC, Vivo recently introduced some cross platform functionality with Apple for their latest release.
Which is a good start and hopefully they all come together for a unified and aligned functionality, ultimately benefitting the users across Android & IOS.

Don't think hyperos can control MacBook remotely or sync incoming calls and messages from iphone 😅... If u talk about just xferring files and mirror displays all other brands kinda can do that liao..

Yup.. that's why I'm wondering what Xiaomi is doing.. vivo and oppo are slowly taking market shares from apple liao..
Xiaomi's market share has been conistently growing, now being the 3rd biggest after Samsung & Apple.
They are doing pretty fine, but if they get more things right, believe definitely will propel their market share further and faster.
