Xiaomi has released the official images of its upcoming Xiaomi 17 series, giving a clear look at the design of its next flagship phones before their launch on September 25 in China. The lineup skips the “16” branding, moving straight from the Xiaomi 15 to align with Apple’s iPhone 17 series.
All models will be powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which is expected to bring performance and AI improvements. The official photos showcase the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max in several colors and highlight design tweaks across the lineup.
The standard Xiaomi 17 is shown in white and sky blue. Unlike the Pro models, it doesn’t feature a secondary display on the back. Instead, it introduces a redesigned camera island with a softer, rounded square shape compared to the Xiaomi 15. The individual camera modules now protrude slightly, similar to recent iPhones. The overall design also adopts more rounded corners than before.
Xiaomi says the phone will use a 6.3-inch flat display with ultra-slim 1.18mm bezels and a 19.6:9 aspect ratio. At 191 grams, it’s designed to stay lightweight and comfortable.
The 17 Pro is shown in “Cold Smoke Purple,” while the Pro Max comes in “Forest Green.” Interestingly, both Pro models feature completely flat displays, a departure from last year’s micro-quad curved design. Their corners have also been updated to match the base model.
On the back, the Pro and Pro Max integrate the secondary “Magic Back Screen” into the camera module. Two of the lenses protrude slightly, while the third sits flush with the back panel. Xiaomi says this extra display can be used for notifications, selfie previews, clocks, and more. Overall, the design changes are quite significant, and we’ll share our impressions once we get hands-on time.
The images also point to Xiaomi’s continued collaboration with Leica on camera tuning. More details on battery sizes, HyperOS 3 software, and international release plans are expected as the launch approaches
