While Samsung and Apple recently unveiled their latest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S25 FE and iPhone Air, a new contender from Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi is set to outshine them. Xiaomi has introduced the Xiaomi 17 Pro, a device that boasts a large front screen and a unique mini Dynamic Back Display on the rear case.
The additional display panel provides users with enhanced interaction capabilities, allowing for notifications such as messages, emails, and even real-time tracking of deliveries like pizza orders.
Users can customize the second display to function as a clock, music player, or digital sticky note board. Xiaomi highlights the display’s versatility by offering options to set personalized AI wallpapers featuring pets or loved ones.
Beyond these features, the secondary screen can serve as a virtual pet, flight tracker, diary, and a convenient tool for capturing selfies using the high-quality dual-lens cameras.
The dual-screen design of the Xiaomi 17 Pro series, including the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, combines aesthetic appeal with smart functionality. The Dynamic Back Display offers multiple utilities, from customizable watch faces to dynamic notifications and virtual pet interactions.
Aside from the innovative dual display, the Xiaomi 17 Pro series boasts a powerful battery that supports rapid charging. These models feature 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, significantly faster than competing devices like the iPhone.
Furthermore, the Xiaomi 17 Pro series is among the first to incorporate the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, promising enhanced performance and energy efficiency.
Although the UK release date for the Xiaomi 17 Pro series is pending, the devices are already available in China, hinting at a global rollout in the near future.
