Xiaomi 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max Teased With Magic Back Screen & Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

Xiaomi is now releasing its two new handsets, titled Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, which were officially teased by the company. These new handsets are going to be two of the most distinctive flagship handsets of 2026, whose first look has also been released. The phone's design has also been shown in the teaser video, where, again, there is a new bold design being introduced. Additionally, there is also a secondary screen visible on the phone's back, which Xiaomi has referred to as Magic Back Screen.

Not only this, Qualcomm's most powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Generation 5 processor is also going to be available in this new Xiaomi 17 series, which will make these devices the world's first smartphones to come with this processor. The company is stating that this chipset can provide next-level performance, which makes these devices one of the most capable Android devices.

According to reports, Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will be launched in China by the end of this month, but no information related to the global launch has been revealed yet. At the same time, in India, Xiaomi offers an Ultra model along with a regular model, but this time, there is no Ultra variant, so it is expected that the company will launch the regular Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max in India.

According to reports, this Xiaomi 17 series will include Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max. Although not much information has been given in the teaser, but this time a new rear display has been talked about in it. According to the company, the Magic Back Screen can make many things easier.

It can show different clock faces. Also, it will be easy to take selfies using the rear camera from this screen. This display can work as a viewfinder. Also, notifications of some apps can be found on this screen.
