China: Xiaomi 17 — three models with 3D cooling and a screen in the camera module

The Xiaomi 17 family is available in Basic, Pro and Pro Max configurations and is aimed at the upper segment of the mass market, where autonomy, flagship performance and advanced multimedia functionality are important. All versions use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and a new three-dimensional ring cooling system, claimed to be many times more efficient than classic evaporative chambers, which shows the manufacturer's bet on stable frequencies under long loads and mobile gaming.

The smartphones run on HyperOS 3 based on Android 16, offer an ultrasonic sub-screen scanner, stereo sound, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and infrared, forming a complete set for the corporate and consumer scenario.

The base Xiaomi 17 is made in four colors and has a case with high - grade dust and moisture protection. The 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display with 1.18 mm thin bezels supports a dynamic frequency of one to one hundred and twenty Hertz and a peak brightness of up to 3,500 nits, with Dragon Crystal Glass installed on top. Memory configurations include 12 or 16 gigabytes of RAM and 256 or 512 gigabytes of internal storage.

The main camera block consists of three 50-megapixel modules: the main Light Hunter 950 with optical stabilization, ultra-wide and telephoto with an optical zoom of 2.6× and stabilization; the front camera is also 50 megapixels. The emphasis is on autonomy: a 7000 mAh battery with support for wired charging of 100 watts, wireless 50 watts and reversible 22.5 watts, which in total gives a rare combination of capacity and speed for the class.

Xiaomi 17 Pro adds a unique feature for the line-an additional LTPO OLED screen with a diagonal of 2.7 inches, integrated into the camera island. It serves as a viewfinder when shooting on the main modules, a platform for notifications and mini-widgets, as well as for interactive scenarios.

The main display repeats the parameters of the basic version: 6.3 inches, a resolution of 1220 by 2656 pixels, a frequency of one to one hundred and twenty hertz and a peak brightness of up to 3500 nits with support for HDR10+, HDR Vivid and Dolby Vision. Memory — 12 or 16 GB LPDDR5X, storage 256, 512 GB or 1 terabyte UFS 4.1.

The camera unit is identical in configuration, with a 50-megapixel selfie module; an extra one includes an ultra — wide UWB band for precise positioning of accessories and devices. The 6300 mAh battery supports the same charging profiles as the base model, which indicates a balance of autonomy and body weight.

Xiaomi 17 Pro Max is the largest device in the line with a 6.9-inch display of 1200 by 2608 pixels and an enlarged 2.9-inch auxiliary screen on the camera block. The processor and cameras correspond to the Pro version, the minimum storage capacity starts at 512 gigabytes, emphasizing the positioning of the model as a device for heavy multimedia and professional tasks. Autonomy is enhanced by a 7,500 mAh battery while maintaining speeds of 100 watts wired, 50 watts wireless and 22.5 watts reversible, which makes the device one of the most" long-playing " in the class.

Strategically, the series demonstrates how the manufacturer divides the audience: the base model relies on an ultra-powerful battery and universal cameras, while the Pro pair offers scenarios with an external screen on the module-from shooting with the main sensor without losing quality to interactive notifications. Together, the three devices address needs ranging from long-term battery life to content creativity and mobile production, and the unification of the platform, memory, and network modules makes it easier for developers and corporate IT to work with a fleet of devices.
