Xiaomi 17 Ultra Price and Specs: Strengthening its premium presence in the smartphone market, Xiaomi has unveiled its highly anticipated Xiaomi 17 Series. The series includes two powerful models—the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra. Xiaomi claims that these phones are not only the kings of speed, but their advanced camera system from Leica and new LOFIC technology will change the future of mobile photography. Starting at ₹89,999 and powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, these phones feature a large 6330mAh battery.
Xiaomi 17
The Xiaomi 17 is designed for users who want a phone that’s easy to operate with one hand yet extremely powerful. It features a 16-centimeter display with bezels so thin that the screen appears to extend to the edges. The company has used a Golden Arch design, making it extremely comfortable to hold. Despite weighing just 191 grams and measuring 8.06mm thick, the phone’s robust design utilizes Xiaomi Guardian Structure, ensuring it’s resistant to shocks and falls.
Speed and Battery
Both phones are powered by the world’s fastest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. This processor makes multitasking, graphics-intensive games, and 4K video editing a breeze. For power, it boasts a large 6330mAh battery, which charges fully in minutes with 100W HyperCharge. 50W wireless charging is also available, freeing you from the hassle of cables.
Xiaomi 17 Ultra
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is specifically designed for those who want to pursue professional photography with a smartphone. It features the first-ever LOFIC (Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor) camera technology. Smartphone cameras often struggle to balance bright sunlight and deep darkness (shadows), but this 1-inch LOFIC sensor controls light so perfectly that photos appear natural and detailed. It also features a 200MP Leica telephoto camera, which captures images of distant objects, wildlife, and architecture without sacrificing quality.
Cinematic Video and Display
For video recording enthusiasts, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra supports Dolby Vision and ACES Log recording. You can shoot professional movies at 4K 120fps. The displays on both phones come with a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, which not only makes scrolling smooth but also reduces battery consumption. Its brightness is so high that the content is clearly visible even in direct sunlight.
Price, Offers, and Sale
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is priced starting at ₹1,29,999 in India, while the Xiaomi 17 starts at ₹89,999. Offers include an instant discount of ₹10,000 with an SBI credit card. Additionally, the company is offering an ‘Early Bird’ offer; if you purchase the phone between March 13th and 17th, you’ll receive the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Photography Kit Pro for free.
