Xiaomi 17 256GB ice blue

Xiaomi 17 is a versatile and fairly compact flagship, “for every day”, which not only meets all the basic requirements for this class of smartphones, but also has several nice bonuses. The smartphone has a great screen, a top-notch processor, a nice design, protection against dirt and water, high-quality stereo sound, as well as good main and telephoto cameras. To this, it is worth adding an exceptional battery life and fast charging. But it also had its weaknesses. The smartphone heats up significantly and loses performance during prolonged loads. The ultra-wide-angle camera could be more interesting, considering the price. And the shell, as before, displays advertising in some places.

This refreshingly small flagship makes no concessions on power, battery life or camera quality. On a pure hardware standpoint, the Xiaomi 17 knocks Samsung into second place.

There aren’t many good compact flagships on the market today, and the Xiaomi 17 is one of the few worth Considering. Its top-tier performance, capable Leica camera system, feature-rich software experience, sharp colourful display and outlandishly large battery make a compelling case for compact phones that few others can match.

While it may not be a game-changing update, the Xiaomi 17 does just enough to stay competitive and cement itself as one of the top compact flagships on the market. If you're looking for a smaller flagship without the compromises, look no further.
