When Xiaomi released the Xiaomi 16 Pro last year, it reinvented what a flagship smartphone can do, particularly in the area of the camera. The triple rear camera system provided a high level of detail, rich colors, and the low-light performance was also impressive, which gained the approval of photography enthusiasts.

The Xiaomi 17 Pro of this year is based on the same foundation but has a Leica-branded triple 50MP camera system, including a periscope telephoto lens, making it more versatile and clearer than ever. With a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and up to 16GB of RAM, it can easily deal with gaming, multi-tasking and heavy applications.

The package also contains user manuals and warranty details so you can be sure that you have everything you need to install and get started using your Xiaomi 17 Pro immediately.

Design & Build Quality

The Xiaomi 17 Pro is a sophisticated development of its predecessors based on the build and size. The phone is 151.1 x 71.8 x 8 mm and weighs 192 grams, which is a little bit small as a flagship but still a heavy phone. The design focuses on a big camera module that occupies the upper half of the back with the triple 50MP Leica-branded cameras. The module is slightly protruded, however, it meshes well with the premium design of the phone giving it a professional, high-end appearance.

Compared to some of the earlier models, the Xiaomi 17 Pro is available in four color options, including Black, White, Purple, and Green, giving users more options to select a color that fits their personality. The rear glass gives it a sleek finish and the overall ergonomics of the phone make it have a solid and comfortable grip. Although the device is heavy, it is well balanced in the hand and the side buttons are well placed. Xiaomi has still maintained a very receptive ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, which performs flawlessly even in high use.

The frame is aluminum with Dragon Crystal Glass on the front to enhance its durability. The phone is also IP68 water and dust resistant which gives it some peace of mind in day-to-day use. Although it does not have the extra camera shutter button that other competitors do, the Xiaomi 17 Pro does not make it feel missing due to its clean and minimalistic design. Altogether, Xiaomi 17 Pro is a flagship that is not only elegant and functional but also practical, which is why it will not only look good but also feel strong and comfortable.

Display

Xiaomi 17 Pro has a 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a high resolution of 2656 x 1220 pixels, which provides a clear image and vivid colors. The adaptive 120Hz refresh rate guarantees the screen a fluid scrolling and smooth gameplay, and the 3500-nit peak brightness makes it very readable even in direct sunlight. According to our lab tests, the display can display HDR10+ and Dolby Vision content exceptionally well, and provides excellent contrast and dynamic color reproduction of movies, games, and daily use.

The borderlines are kept to a minimum, and it gives the impression of an immersive experience in viewing, which is bigger than the panel size of 6.3. The screen is covered with Dragon Crystal Glass, which offers it an additional protection against scratches and small drops. Wet-touch is also a feature that is beneficial to users as it ensures that the screen remains responsive even when wet so it can be used in many different circumstances.

The 2.9-inch Dynamic Back Display is one of the best features. It is a secondary screen that can be accessed swiftly to see notifications, AI-generated widgets, and even a viewfinder to take selfies with the primary camera. Although it is an innovation, it also gives the device functional versatility and a new aesthetic feel.

Together with stereo speakers that are optimized to provide a clear and punchy sound, the Xiaomi 17 Pro provides a multimedia experience that is both bright and accurate in color. The display is responsive, bright, and pleasant to use, whether you are watching videos inside or gaming on the go, or taking pictures, which makes it one of the best flagship smartphones in the market.

Camera

The Xiaomi 17 Pro is another device that Xiaomi is continuing to advance in the smartphone photography industry with a Leica-branded triple-camera system that is both versatile and impressive in image quality. The 50MP primary sensor is the highlight with a large 1-inch sensor size and f/1.63 aperture that can capture very detailed shots. The images during the day are clear, and the edges are well defined, the colors are bright and the details are uniform throughout the picture. The performance in low light is also good, with clarity and the minimum of noise in the problematic conditions.

Alongside the primary sensor is a 50MP ultra-wide camera and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with a digital zoom of up to 120x. The telephoto lens is ideal in capturing close ups with less distortion and is therefore best used in portraits or distant objects. The ultra-wide camera has the same color science as the main lens, and there is a seamless transition between focal lengths.

Xiaomi still provides Leica Authentic and Vibrant photography options, which allows the user to select natural or more vibrant tones. Although the phone has a tendency to fail to focus in some cases, the majority of the photos are social media ready as they are taken with the camera. The Xiaomi Photography Kit also adds to the experience with specific buttons and a dial to change the exposure, making the daily photography experience look like a professional one.

Daylight Photo:

During the day, the Xiaomi 17 Pro captures pictures with rich colors and a high edge detection. The main sensor provides warm and natural sounds, and the ultra-wide and telephoto lenses are the same in terms of color science across the focal lengths. The images are a bit over-saturated compared to the competitors and have a social media ready look. Portrait shots are good at preserving facial features, although the phone sometimes flattens features slightly. Generally, daylight performance is good, sharpness and dynamic range are comparable to other flagship models.

Low-Light Photo:

The Xiaomi 17 Pro also performs well in low-light situations. The pictures are very detailed and have minimum noise and the colors are also accurate to the scene. Although the phone does slightly heat the tones, the output is natural and satisfying. Shadows are handled in a good manner and highlights are not overexposed. The ultra-wide camera and periscope lens keep the phone clear in darker conditions, which makes the phone a good choice in nighttime and indoor low-light situations.

The Xiaomi 17 Pro has a 4K 120fps video to provide smooth and high-quality shots. The standard mode is good at stabilizing, but the colors may seem a little enhanced. Pro and Log modes open up the possibilities of the cinema, where advanced users can shoot with the accuracy of exposure, color, and framing. The front 32MP camera is capable of 4K 60fps recording, and it takes sharp selfies, but it does over-smooth the face features.

Performance & Software

The Xiaomi 17 Pro, similar to its predecessors, is based on the latest flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. The phone is powered by HyperOS 3, which is built on Android 16, providing smooth multitasking, fast app opening, and fluid animations, and makes daily life and heavy workloads effortless.

Although it is a flagship that is centered on photography, the Xiaomi 17 Pro performs well in gaming. BGMI is able to maintain high frame rates with Ultra HDR on, averaging 38 FPS after 30 minutes of continuous play. COD: Mobile at max graphics has a performance of approximately 59 FPS, which is comparable to dedicated gaming phones, yet the display is bright and vivid. There is also good battery management with few drops even in long gaming hours due to the 6,300mAh battery and the power efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Elite which has been optimized.

HyperOS 3 makes the whole experience more enjoyable with an intuitive UI design, near-stock responsiveness, and low bloatware, and few pre-installed third-party applications. Such characteristics as Reading Mode, Dark Mode and Mi Remote are convenient and easy to use. The OS also ushers in a range of AI-powered tools under the HyperAI label. Today, AI Write and AI Summary in the Notes app can be helpful productivity aids, but more of the system could be integrated with AI, including AI-based keyboard suggestions or more powerful generative AI capabilities.

All in all, the Xiaomi 17 Pro is a well-balanced product, combining premium performance and a smooth software user interface. It is the best in photography, multitasking, and gaming, and HyperOS 3 provides a smooth and responsive interface. The AI capabilities are currently limited, but the basis is solid, and as the device is regularly updated, it is bound to be a high-performing flagship in both software and hardware performance.

AnTuTu Benchmark & GeekBench Score

AnTuTu and Geekbench benchmarks have shown that the Xiaomi 17 Pro is a high-end flagship smartphone with impressive performance.

In AnTuTu V11, Xiaomi 17 Pro scored 34,34,737, which is one of the best scores among the existing smartphones. This score is higher than the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with a score of 3,507,568, which shows the exceptional performance of the Pro variant.

The Xiaomi 17 Pro scored 3,310 in single-core and 10,070 in multi-core on Geekbench 6, demonstrating its powerful processing power. These are comparable to the major competitors, such as the Apple A19 Pro chip, so the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 has a competitive advantage in performance.

These benchmark scores highlight the outstanding performance of the Xiaomi 17 Pro, which makes it an attractive option to users who want a high-performance flagship smartphone.

Battery & Charger

Xiaomi 17 Pro has a huge 6,300mAh battery, which makes it one of the longest lasting flagship smartphones in the market. In practice, the phone can surpass the claimed all-day battery life, even with heavy use, which includes gaming, constant use of cameras, 120Hz refresh rate, and Always-On Display on. In our testing, the device endured more than 15 hours in intensive use, which is a very good result in terms of endurance of a modern flagship.

The incident is also impressive. The Xiaomi 17 Pro also has 100W wired fast charging, and the battery can be charged to 0 to 100 percent in 42-45 minutes. It can also charge wirelessly with 50W, which provides flexibility in situations where a cable is unavailable, and 10W reverse wireless charging so the phone can be used as a power source to other compatible devices. The phone is also heat efficient during fast charging without throttling or causing discomfort during use.

To the content creators and the heavy users, the long battery life combined with the ultra-fast charging makes the Xiaomi 17 Pro reliable throughout the day. Long gaming hours, video recording or photo shoots will not make you scramble to find a charger and this device will be an ideal option to users in Bangladesh who want performance and long life in a flagship smart phone.
