The new Android flagship phones will debut in their homeland this week.
Xiaomi is gearing up to launch its next flagship phones, the Xiaomi 17 series, and now the company has finally revealed the exact date.
Xiaomi had already teased that the 17 series would arrive this month, but without giving an actual date. Well, now that is cleared up: September 19 is the day we will see the Xiaomi 17, the Xiaomi 17 Pro and the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max.
Keep in mind, though, that this reveal is only for China. The global debut will come later – most likely at next year’s MWC in Barcelona, happening March 2–5, where Xiaomi usually brings its flagships to the international stage.
Now, if you are scratching your head, wondering what happened to the Xiaomi 16, you didn’t miss anything. Xiaomi simply skipped a generation to go straight to the 17 series, a move clearly aimed at competing more directly with Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup, which launched earlier this month.
Design-wise, Xiaomi’s Pro models are also shifting toward the new “big camera island” look, with a huge slab stretching edge to edge on the back – very much in line with the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
