On September 17th, Igeekphone reported that after the official announcement of Xiaomi 17 series, apart from the highly consistent naming rule with the Apple iPhone 17 series, the most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the “Mystic Back Screen” on the back (supported by the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max versions, but not by the standard version of the Xiaomi 17).
So, what exactly can this screen do? Today, the official Weibo account of Xiaomi mobile phones showcased just a tip of the iceberg of the back screen functions through a video.
Judging from the video, first of all, the size of this back screen is not small, about the same as many small foldable outer screens. Therefore, it can display more information than some previous back screens. Here, Xiaomi mainly showcases time themes, dynamic wallpapers, cartoon characters, animals, etc., and even can achieve an infinite screen mode.
However, the author speculates that its gameplay will definitely not be limited to this. Besides personalized gameplay, functions such as a music player, selfie preview, display notifications, and vehicle control should be completely fine.
It is speculated that there might also be some functional linkages with the Miao Xiang Center. After all, the official has stated that this is a “Miao Xiang back screen”.
After the video was released, Lu Weibing, the president of Xiaomi, reposted it on Weibo and asked, “Do you all like the brand-new back screen of the Xiaomi 17 Pro series?” What good ideas or thoughts do you have about the back screen? Let’s share them in the comment section.”
Some netizens joked, “After the Xiaomi 17 series is launched, go to Xiaomi Home and replace all the back screens with this one. It’s definitely going to be a huge hit.”
Some netizens also said that when the Xiaomi 11 Ultra was equipped with a back screen, they saw many people using it to play jokes, with all kinds of collaborations. Moreover, due to special reasons, some people even directly put a fifth-level energy efficiency label on it at that time.
This year, the Xiaomi 17 Pro series is also going to feature a back screen, and the screen is even larger. It seems that it’s time for netizens to come up with more ideas. Even phone case manufacturers can combine this back screen to create some unique designs and pair the phone cases with some unique wallpapers.
Recently, there has been more and more information about the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This new generation of platform should be quite worth looking forward to. Remember to give the back screen of the Xiaomi 17 Pro a Level 1 energy efficiency label when the time comes.
It is reported that the Xiaomi 17 series will be released before National Day. If there are no unexpected circumstances, it will be next week. It is believed that more functions and features will be revealed one after another.
