Igeekphone News on September 15th: Just now, Lu Weibing officially announced the new Xiaomi phone, which has been renamed from Xiaomi 16 to Xiaomi 17.
According to Lu Weibing, the Xiaomi 17 series is the transformation of Xiaomi’s high-end strategy over the past five years and also marks a crucial reorganization in the digital series, with the entire product range undergoing a cross-generation upgrade.
The Xiaomi 17 series includes three products: Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max.
They will be the world’s first to launch the fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Ultra mobile platform.
As for why the name was changed, Lu Weibing also said straightforwardly, “Five years ago, we launched a high-end strategy, learning from the greatest rivals and firmly benchmarking against the iPhone.” To date, Apple remains outstanding. The success of the iPhone 17 series has been witnessed by all, but we are still very confident, which is why we will face the iPhone head-on with the same generation and level.
In addition, Lu Weibing also stated that this time we will bring some different “new things” to mobile phones. Otherwise, people might think that the current mobile phone products are a bit boring.
