Xiaomi officially unveiled its new Xiaomi 17 flagship series at the MWC 2026 exhibition held in "Barcelona" on February 28, 2026. These devices, which have already been released in the Chinese market, are now reaching customers in Europe and other international regions. In the new models, the company has further strengthened its partnership with Leica, focusing on the balance between image quality, battery life, and compactness. Reports playground.ru.
The new series includes the compact Xiaomi 17, the advanced Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and the limited edition Leica Leitzphone. The Xiaomi 17 model stands out for its lightness and a body thickness of just 8.06 millimeters. It is seen as a major competitor to compact flagships like the iPhone 17 and Galaxy S26 in the market. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is equipped with a more powerful cooling system and professional photography capabilities, and a special Photography Kit accessory set has also been introduced for it.
Notably, the Leitzphone model, released to mark Leica's 100th anniversary, features a unique design. While technically similar to the Ultra model, it is aimed more at collectors and photography enthusiasts. Experts are confident that these smartphones will find their place in the market, although there are mixed opinions among users regarding software ads and other technical aspects, Xiaomi continues to drive technological innovation with its flagships.
