Xiaomi 17 series India launch has been confirmed but it seems the wait to see the new flagship models will be a little longer than most people thought.
Xiaomi 17 series is coming to India but what about the 17 Pro Max?
Xiaomi 17 series is coming to India and the company has more or less confirmed the update earlier this week. The brand introduced the Xiaomi 17 and the 17 Pro Max variants in China this month and these will most likely be coming to the Indian market.
But a new report suggests Xiaomi is not looking to bring these outside of China in 2025 and that means we might have to wait till early 2026 to get more details about the India availability.
Xiaomi 17 is one of the first devices to launch with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset from Qualcomm. It is the new flagship SoC from the tech giant that will be seen with other premium brands over the next 6-10 months.
Xiaomi sharing the big update regarding the 17 series launch in India gives it a definite head start over the rivals, especially when the product is already on the shelves in other regions.
Xiaomi 17 Series India Launch In 2026: Which Models Will We Get?
But the bigger question people are asking Xiaomi is, will the more exciting 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max also be coming to the country?
Going by the initial buzz it seems the 17 Pro models are likely to be reserved for the Chinese audience or we could see a whole new product (Xiaomi 17 Ultra maybe) that caters to the global market but for a later date. We got a closer look at the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max version with the rear screen and it does look intriguing but the brand is still evaluating its plans, which suggests the 17 Pro Max could have a wider rollout eventually.
Xiaomi 17 India Launch Specifications And Price Expected
Xiaomi 17 sports a 6.3-inch OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. It comes with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage that are paired with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The new phone gets Android 16-based HyperOS 3 version out of the box. It has a 50MP triple camera system with Leica-tuned lenses. And finally you have a 7,000mAh battery this year supported by 100W wired and 50W wireless charging speeds.
Xiaomi 17 price in India should be around Rs 75,000 but it could easily cross the 80K mark this time around when it launches.
