Specifications

Xiaomi 17

The Xiaomi 17 is the standard model in the series. It is a compact phone with a 6.3-inch screen, which is a bit smaller than most flagships today. But it does not cut corners in any major area.

The screen uses Xiaomi’s HyperRGB panel, which has a full RGB subpixel layout that Xiaomi says uses less power while offering better clarity. It is protected by Xiaomi Shield Glass 3.0, which is 30% more drop-resistant than the glass on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
