Life moves fast, and every moment deserves to be captured beautifully. With the official launch of the new Xiaomi 17 Series in the Philippines, Xiaomi once again raises the bar for mobile photography and flagship performance, this time deepening its successful collaboration with legendary camera brand Leica.
Composed of the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the series blends cutting-edge imaging, refined design, and powerful performance into devices built for modern lifestyles. Whether you’re documenting everyday wins, travel adventures, or creative passion projects, the Xiaomi 17 Series delivers a premium smartphone experience anchored on world-class photography.
Designed for Everyday Confidence
The Xiaomi 17 Series embraces a minimalist yet professional aesthetic. Clean lines, smooth edges, and Golden Arc curves make both devices comfortable to hold and elegant to look at. Ultra-thin bezels and advanced LIPO manufacturing create a near-borderless display that feels immersive without sacrificing durability.
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Xiaomi’s thinnest and lightest Ultra yet measures just 8.29mm thin and weighs as little as 218.4g. Available in Black, White, and Starlit Green, it features a refined flat body and a more discreet camera housing. Built with Xiaomi Guardian Structure, it includes Xiaomi Shield Glass 3.0 with 30% greater drop resistance versus its predecessor, a high-strength fiberglass back, an aluminum alloy frame, and IP68 protection against dust and moisture.
For those who prefer a slightly more compact device, the Xiaomi 17 measures 8.06mm thin and weighs just 191g. Available in Black, Venture Green, Alpine Pink, and Ice Blue, it pairs sleek aesthetics with durability thanks to a 6M42 aluminum frame, Xiaomi Shield Glass, and IP68 certification.
Xiaomi × Leica: A Vision for Creators
The partnership with Leica continues to define the Xiaomi 17 Series. With Leica UltraPure optical lens treatment and multi-layer coatings, both devices capture detail beautifully across bright and low-light scenes.
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra introduces Xiaomi’s first 1-inch LOFIC main camera sensor (Light Fusion 1050L), designed for next-generation HDR performance. Its Leica 200MP 75–100mm camera with mechanical optical zoom expands to a 400mm equivalent focal length, delivering exceptional long-range clarity with minimal ghosting and color fringing.
Videographers will appreciate Dolby Vision® and ACES Log recording at up to 4K 120fps on both the main and telephoto cameras, bringing cinema-grade tools to your pocket.
Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 17 centers on the Light Fusion 950 sensor with 13.5EV dynamic range for true-to-life images in any lighting. A Leica 60mm floating telephoto lens supports portrait shots, 5x optical-level zoom, 10cm macro, and 20x AI Ultra Zoom. A new 50MP front camera enhances autofocus for sharper selfies, while 4K 60fps Dolby Vision® and Log recording make content creation seamless.
For photography enthusiasts, the optional Xiaomi 17 Ultra Photography Kit adds a customizable two-stage shutter, dedicated video button, wrist strap, and IP54 protection, bringing a professional camera feel to mobile shooting.
Power That Keeps Up With You
At the heart of the Xiaomi 17 Series is the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, featuring Qualcomm’s custom Oryon™ CPU, Adreno™ GPU, and Hexagon™ NPU. From rapid photo capture to gaming and multitasking, the series is engineered for peak performance.
Charging is equally impressive. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra packs a 6000mAh battery with 90W wired and 50W wireless HyperCharge. The Xiaomi 17 houses a 6330mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless HyperCharge. The new Xiaomi Surge Battery, with 16% silicon content, ensures higher energy density and longer-lasting performance, all within a slim form factor.
Displays That Shine in Any Light
