In the Chinese market, the mainline Xiaomi 17 uses a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon (Si-C) battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, while the global versions of the Xiaomi 17 use 6,330mAh batteries. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra's batteries are smaller, with the Chinese versions of the 17 Ultra using 6,800mAh batteries and the global versions using 6,000mAh batteries,[9] but still maintaining wireless charging and the full 100W charging. Note that under Xiaomi's "smart charging" feature, 100W charging disables when the screen is on to manage heating.[10]
Software
The Xiaomi 17 series launched with Xiaomi HyperOS 3 pre-installed.[11] It is based on Android 16.
Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition / Leica Leitzphone
On 25 December 2025, in China, alongside the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Xiaomi introduced the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition (Chinese: Xiaomi 17 Ultra 徕卡版).[12] Compared to the regular Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition features a knurled frame, a Red Dot Leica logo, a special system theme and the Control Ring — a mechanically rotating ring around the camera island, which zooms between focal lengths and cameras.[13]
On 28 February 2026 at the Mobile World Congress, Leica introduced the Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi, which is the global version of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition featuring a different back design and a smaller battery. It was launched in the international market on 6 March 2026.[14]
Release, reception, prices
The Xiaomi 17 series was released on September 25, 2025, and sold over one million units in China during its first week of release, a milestone achieved faster than its predecessor, the Xiaomi 15 series. Four models were launched: the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, and Xiaomi 17 Ultra.[15]
Only the base and Ultra models were released globally outside China, with the Pro and Pro Max exclusive to the Chinese market.[16]
