In the premium segment, buyers expect nothing but the best from their smartphones. This would include excellent displays, crazy-good cameras and phenomenal battery life. But come 2025, we witnessed the reemergence of compact flagships. Devices that claimed to offer 'Pro'-grade hardware (including cameras) in a compact form factor, minus the 'Pro' price tag. A segment once dominated by Samsung's Galaxy S series, now has competition from a bunch of manufacturers like Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi that launched a series of compact and premium devices. 2026 is no different. Rising prices (due to the RAM crisis) have forced manufacturers to add more variety, with handsets like Vivo's V series entering the fray, starting at as low as Rs. 51,999. With so much competition, it does seem a bit odd that Xiaomi decided to raise the price of its latest compact flagship tag to a new high.

Xiaomi 17 Summary

The Xiaomi 17’s design is made out of glass and aluminium. It feels premium and is also quite durable with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. It looks similar to other flagships at this price point, but packs interesting hardware.

Its top-of-the-line processor offers more than enough power for everyday tasks. Xiaomi’s HyperOS is well optimised to take advantage of it and the phone also packs a vapour chamber cooling system to help it maintain performance while playing demanding games.

Camera performance is as good as it gets in this segment. Xiaomi’s Leica collaboration also plays an important part here. The phone’s video recording capabilities are very impressive and it can also capture 8K footage as well.

Battery life is pretty good for a compact device, lasting a whole day with heavy usage. Charging speeds are really fast and the phone also offers fast wireless charging using its proprietary dock.
