Samsung and Apple recently introduced their latest smartphone models, the Galaxy S25 FE and iPhone Air. However, a new device from the Chinese company Xiaomi, called the Xiaomi 17 Pro, is poised to outshine them. The Xiaomi 17 Pro boasts a large front screen and a unique feature – a mini Dynamic Back Display on the rear case.
According to Xiaomi, this additional panel offers users enhanced interaction possibilities such as receiving notifications for messages, emails, or tracking the status of deliveries. The rear display can also serve as a clock, music player, or platform for displaying sticky notes, all customizable with personal photos or smart AI wallpapers.
Moreover, the dual-screen design enables various functions like virtual pet simulations, flight tracking, and diary entries. Additionally, the secondary display acts as a mini viewfinder for capturing better selfies using the phone’s dual-lens cameras.
Xiaomi describes the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max as groundbreaking in design, blending sophistication with intelligent functionality. The Dynamic Back Display enhances user lifestyle and efficiency with customizable watch faces, AI wallpapers, virtual pets, dynamic notifications, and more.
Apart from the dual display feature, the Xiaomi 17 Pro series offers a range of other impressive specifications, including a large battery with rapid charging capabilities. The models support 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, surpassing the charging speed of the iPhone.
Furthermore, the phones are among the first to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, known for its enhanced performance and efficiency. While the UK release date for the Xiaomi 17 Pro series is yet to be announced, the phones are already available in China, with expectations for a wider global release soon.
