Xiaomi officially shows an advance of the next Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 pro max, A brief video in which quite promising details have been revealed. The devices, which as we explain They forget the number 16 To shorten distances with The new iPhone Also in last name, they promise a radical change in the design that the Chinese firm had become accustomed to us until now. The great novelty is the incorporation of a secondary screen in the back, integrated into a completely renewed chamber island and that occupies practically the entire width of the device.
An ambitious generational leap. Xiaomi has decided to completely omit the numbering 16 to directly position its new range against Apple’s iPhone 17. The strategy seems that it is not directed only in the name, but that both the Xiaomi 17 Pro and the Pro Max adopt a rectangular design on its island of Chambers that, in addition to reminding the competition approach, also adds a key element that we usually see in some current folding phones.
The “Magic Back Screen” as the protagonist. As we can see in The promotional videothe secondary rear screen is completely integrated around the two main chambers of the system. Among some of the things we can do with this screen, everything seems to indicate that this new screen will allow you to show different clock spheres, function as a camera viewer for selfies with the main cameras and even show application information. In fact, it is not the first time that Xiaomi experiences with rear screens: the Mi 11 ultra From 2021 it already included a 1.1 -inch AMOLED panel, and everything indicates that Xiaomi wants to collect this element again to try to highlight among the hard competition.
First level technical specifications. In addition to the striking of the screen, it should be remembered that the new devices will release the processor Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 of Qualcomm and maintain collaboration with Leica for the Triple Rear Chamber. In the absence of having it in hand and testing it in depth, the leaks point to great capacity batteries: 7,000 mAh for the standard model and up to 7,500 mAh for the Pro Max, figures that would mean a significant increase with respect to the previous generation.
When you want to be different in a saturated market. The incorporation of this functional secondary screen is Xiaomi seeking how they can highlight in A highly saturated marketwith very good devices by many manufacturers that also try to wear a piece of the huge cake. It is clear that it is difficult to innovate in the field of smartphones, especially considering that the vast majority of proposals are similar in the aesthetic for pursuing the user’s convenience. Xiaomi wants in this sense to look for a striking proposal and add value to its devices, as is the case of this secondary screen. In the theory it can be very useful, but it is possible to see if the mass public sees it as a key feature in the phones.
Next launch. The three models of the 17 series (including the base model that seems to arrive without rear screen) will officially be presented in China throughout this month. The Xiaomi 17 ultra on the other hand, which has traditionally become the flagship of the range, would not occur in September according to the latest leaks, so everything indicates that users will have to wait to see this model in stores.
