Xiaomi 17 Series Set to Launch With Powerful Camera Systems
Xiaomi is gearing up to unveil its highly anticipated Xiaomi 17 series later this month, which will include the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max. In a surprising move, the company is skipping the “16” naming convention to align more closely with Apple’s iPhone numbering — a strategic branding decision aimed at positioning itself more competitively in the flagship space.
Ahead of the official reveal, leaked information from China has shed light on the camera specs of the Xiaomi 17 Pro, highlighting a powerful and premium setup designed to appeal to photography enthusiasts.
Xiaomi 17 Pro to Feature Leica-Branded Triple Camera Setup
According to the leak, the Xiaomi 17 Pro will come equipped with a 50 MP primary camera with an impressive f/1.67 aperture, promising strong low-light performance and rich detail capture.
In addition to the main sensor, the device will feature:
-
A telephoto lens with f/3.0 aperture and 115mm focal length, offering 5x optical zoom
-
An ultrawide camera with a 17mm focal length, perfect for landscape and architectural shots
-
The entire setup will be Leica-branded, continuing Xiaomi’s premium camera partnership that began with earlier flagship models
Interestingly, sources indicate that the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max will sport a different camera configuration, suggesting that unlike previous years, the Pro and Pro Max will not be identical in terms of camera hardware. This change may hint at Xiaomi further differentiating its Pro Max variant beyond just screen size and battery.
Display and Design Expectations
While the vanilla Xiaomi 17 is expected to have a more modest camera setup, the Pro model is rumored to include a 6.3-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring a smooth user experience. The Pro Max, expected to be larger with a bigger battery, will likely cater to users looking for extended performance and potentially superior imaging capabilities.
With the launch drawing near, excitement is building around how Xiaomi’s new flagship lineup will challenge rivals like Samsung, Apple, and OnePlus in both camera innovation and overall performance.
