Xiaomi 17

"Xiaomi's latest generation of smartphones ushers in a new naming era and solves battery life issues for compact phones. Despite its thin case, it delivers excellent battery life, though thermal issues limit chipset potential."

"The Xiaomi 17 is an excellent compact flagship with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, massive 6,330 mAh battery, and triple 50 MP cameras in a 6.3-inch package. It excels in performance, display brightness, and battery endurance, beating rivals pound-for-pound despite lacking a single standout feature."

"The Xiaomi 17 is a great compact flagship phone, offering good design, a lovely display, plenty of power and considerable battery life. It's the stamina of this phone that makes it stand out compared to big-name rivals like Samsung's Galaxy S26, while the fast charging is also to its credit."

"The Xiaomi 17 stands out with top-tier performance, capable Leica camera system, feature-rich software, sharp colorful display, and outlandishly large battery, making it a strong contender in the scarce compact flagship market."
