In a bid to go toe-to-toe with Apple’s new iPhone 17 lineup, Xiaomi has debuted its own 17 Series. Skipping the 16 line entirely, Xiaomi jumped from the 15 straight to the 17 series. The lineup features the Xiaomi 17, 17 Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and a new collaboration, the Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi. 

Let's get into everything you need to know about the Xiaomi 17 lineup, including new features, Singapore pricing, and availability. 

What does the Xiaomi 17 look like?


It appears Xiaomi has taken inspiration from more than just the iPhone 17's name, with all three models sharing similar squared-off edges and prominent camera bumps as previous Apple flagships. 

The Xiaomi 17 sports a 6.3-inch 120Hz OLED Xiaomi Shield Glass display, slim bezels, and 3,500 nits of peak brightness. It's available for purchase in black, white, and starlit green colourways, in the 512GB storage size with 16GB of RAM.

Similiarly, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra boasts a 6.9-inch 120Hz HyperRGB OLED display with 3,500 nits of peak brightness, with a high-strength fibre glass back, and an aluminium frame. It's available in black, venture green, alpine pink, and ice blue colourways in the 512GB storage size with 12GB of RAM.

The Leica Leitzphone sports many of the same features as the 17 Ultra, with a 6.9-inch 120Hz Xiaomi HyperRGB OLED display and 3,500 nits of peak brightness. It’ll be available in black with 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM.

What new features does the Xiaomi 17 have?


The 17 series is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, so we can expect snappy performance and smooth multitasking. The 17 series will support 100W HyperCharge and 100W PD-PPS charging, so you won’t have to fork out for a specific Xiaomi HyperCharge adaptor to enjoy the phone’s zippy charging speeds. The 17 Ultra and Leica Leitzphone support 90W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, while the 17 supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

The Xiaomi 17 has a huge battery capacity of 6300mAh, complete with some neat photography-focused features. It boasts a 60mm floating telephoto lens, 20x AI zoom, and a Light Fusion 950 lens for better low-light and high contrast images.

The Leica Leitzphone has largely the same specs as the 17 Ultra, but with a manual zoom ring and an Essential Shooting Mode, which was designed to recreate the style of some of Leica’s other iconic cameras, namely the M9 and the M3. It also includes a 1-inch 50MP main sensor, a 200MP telephoto lens with mechanical zoom, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra features


The Xiaomi 17 Ultra brings out the big guns with a 1-inch 50MP main sensor, a 200MP telephoto lens with mechanical zoom, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. It introduces the new 1-inch Light Fusion 1050L main sensor, designed to improve low-light performance, as well as a 200MP Leica telephoto camera with mechanical optical zoom (75-100mm). 

In terms of battery, it comes with a 6000mAh Surge Battery with higher silicone content, so you can get extra juice out of your battery without the extra weight and thickness.

For those planning to purchase their Xiaomi 17 on a plan, we expect StarHub and M1 to offer the lineup at a later date. We'll keep you updated, so refresh this page closer to release for exact plan information.
