Xiaomi 17 Pro review – The compact top smartphone disappoints in one key area – NotebookCheck.net Reviews
The Xiaomi 17 Pro is a compact, powerful and premium-feeling, top-of-the-line smartphone. Despite having a slightly smaller battery than the Xiaomi 17, it still has excellent staying power.
The Pro model’s real highlight and unique selling point is the secondary display. However, it is currently more of a nice-to-have than a must-have for potential buyers. Its future hinges on integrating third-party apps that would turn its current limited functionality into genuine added value in everyday situations.
As long as you don’t mind importing the Chinese version and its associated drawbacks in Europe (no Android Auto, no eSIM, etc.), you can’t go wrong with this small flagship phone. For around $800, there’s nothing comparable or available in this country.
Pros
+ Bright OLED panel
+ Long battery life
+ Powerful SoC
+ Good camera package
+ Secondary display
Cons
– Uncertain update timeframe
– High heat output
– SoC throttling
– Availability currently only in China
– Chinese version limitations
– Second screen functionality
In China, the Xiaomi 17 Pro’s recommended retail price starts at 4,999 yuan (approximately $693). Import prices from our device lender, Trading Shenzhen, start at around $879. Unfortunately, due to the previous model’s unavailability, we can safely expect the Pro model not to make it to Europe this year either.
For the first time, Xiaomi has delivered a competitor to Apple’s compact Pro model. The new Xiaomi 17 Pro comes in an ergonomic 6.3-inch form factor and is only slightly pared back compared to the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. The highlight is on the rear of the device – a 2.7-inch AMOLED panel boasting a 120Hz refresh rate and high brightness.

The Xiaomi 17 Pro is housed in a compact and exceptionally well-made body that feels premium to the touch. The frame is constructed from aluminum, and Xiaomi uses Dragon Crystal Glass to protect the front and back. Thanks to its IP68 certification, the flagship phone is also highly resistant to both dust and water.
With a high screen-to-body ratio of 89.5 percent, the display covers almost the entire front side of the phone, resulting in a modern design. The 2.7-inch LTPO OLED display on the back is located next to the cameras. It is a particularly noteworthy highlight, which adds to both the form and function.
The Xiaomi 17 Pro’s Ultra Wideband (UWB) support allows for precise location tracking, and its integrated IR blaster can control compatible devices such as TVs or air conditioners.
It also features Miracast, NFC, and a fast USB-C port that complies with the USB 3.2 standard.
In addition to video output, this port also supports USB OTG, which allows you to connect external peripherals.
The Xiaomi 17 Pro uses Xiaomi’s in-house HyperOS 3, which is based on Android 16. As is typical for the Chinese versions of Xiaomi phones, its software supports only a few language packs. Although neither German nor the Play Store is pre-installed, the latter can be easily installed.
No information has been provided regarding the duration of software updates. During our review period, the security patches were from October 2025 – in other words, very up-to-date.
We were unable to locate precise information regarding the materials used or an official CO2 balance for the latest Xiaomi generation. This means neither the smartphone’s overall ecological footprint nor its repairability can be assessed.
In our tests, the Xiaomi 17 Pro’s fast Wi-Fi 7 enabled high data speeds and a stable connection. When paired with the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 reference router, the flagship phone achieved transfer speeds of over 1,000 Mbps. Despite this, we see some room for improvement, particularly on the 6 GHz frequency band.
Thanks to its broad support for 5G and 4G frequencies (including the important bands 20 and 28), the Xiaomi smartphone can be used without any issues in German-speaking countries, even as an imported device.

Outdoors, the Xiaomi 17 Pro quickly acquired a satellite signal and pinpointed its location with an accuracy of 3 meters. It utilizes major global satellite networks in dual-band mode for positioning.
In our real-life testing, together with a reference smartwatch (Garmin Venu 2), the compact flagship phone performed very well. Deviations from the actual distance travelled were minimal.
Voice transmission was pleasant and natural, and the Xiaomi 17 Pro supports common features such as Wi-Fi calling, VoLTE, as well as dual SIM. An eSIM cannot be used with a Chinese import device.
Xiaomi has equipped the Xiaomi 17 Pro with a new 1/1.28-inch, highly dynamic Light Hunter 950L sensor. The manufacturer of the image sensor is not officially known, but according to sources in China, the sensor (SC590XS) is from SmartSens. The rear mini-display allows the main camera to also be used for selfies.
The Xiaomi 17 Pro delivers impressive results thanks to excellent sharpness and fast shutter speeds. Although the photos’ dynamic range is also very good, the color accuracy could be a bit better. In low light, the compact flagship phone impressed us with minimal blurriness and a wealth of detail.
The Leica triple-camera system is combined with a solid ultra-wide camera and a telephoto lens with lossless 5x zoom. Zoomed-in shots are very respectable in daylight situations and quite usable up to 10x hybrid zoom.

Among the range of items included in the box are a 100-watt power adapter, a protective case, and a charging cable. A screen protector also comes pre-installed. Additionally, our rental supplier, Trading Shenzhen, has included an EU adapter.
Our imported device comes with a 12-month warranty. Should a warranty claim arise, Trading Shenzhen offers the option of sending the smartphone to a German shipping address.
Thanks to its compact design, the buttons find themselves in very ergonomic locations. Inputs on the 6.3-inch AMOLED display are accurately registered, and in everyday situations, the Xiaomi 17 Pro runs smoothly, with animations appearing fluid. One feature that particularly impressed us was the vibration motor.
The small display on the rear of the device is also easy to use, but it didn’t offer any significant added value during our testing period.
The 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for biometric user recognition unlocks the Xiaomi phone quickly and reliably. A rather insecure 2D face recognition feature, based on a face unlock function using the front camera, is also on board.
The 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED panel boasts a high resolution and a 120 Hz maximum refresh rate, which can be adaptively reduced to 1 Hz.
While our measurements on a white background yielded a peak brightness of only around 1,000 cd/m², we achieved an excellent 3,412 cd/m² using the more relevant APL18 test pattern. This corresponds to the advertised peak brightness of 3,500 nits and is responsible for excellent HDR effects.
As is usually the case with OLED displays, screen brightness is controlled using PWM modulation. This results in screen flicker and, according to the manufacturer, includes eye protection (frequency: 2,160 Hz). Our display measurements revealed a base flicker of approximately 120 Hz.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession – a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 120 Hz Amplitude: 19 % |
||
|
The display backlight flickers at 120 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) . The frequency of 120 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8156 (minimum: 5 – maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
|||
A series of measurements with a fixed zoom level and different brightness settings (The amplitude curve at minimum brightness appears flat, but this is due to the scaling. The enlarged version of the amplitude at minimum brightness can be seen in the info box.)
The color calibration and grayscale deviations are very minor. The Xiaomi 17 Pro also offers color display settings, but HyperOS 3 no longer supports the extensive customization options found in its predecessor.
Display Response Times
ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
| ↔ Response Time Black to White | ||
|---|---|---|
| 0.6 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 0.3 ms rise | |
| ↘ 0.3 ms fall | ||
| The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 1 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.3 ms). |
||
| ↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey | ||
| 0.7 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 0.3 ms rise | |

| The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 2 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (31.7 ms). |

Outdoors, the compact flagship phone is very impressive. Given its light weight, the displayed content is very legible, and the viewing angle stability is also excellent.
Anyone on the hunt for one of the best currently available SoCs will be well served by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The 4.6 GHz peak clock speed resulted in high Geekbench scores in single-core tests, but the multi-core results were particularly outstanding. However, the Qualcomm chipset still has room for improvement regarding AI benchmarks.

The stereo speakers offer excellent sound for a compact device. Headphones can be connected via a wired USB port, but anyone preferring Bluetooth for wireless output can do so by taking advantage of a wide range of codecs and the new 6.0 standard.

Unfortunately, the Xiaomi 17 Pro is a great smartphone that will probably never be officially released in Germany. Its secondary display definitely requires some software improvements before offering any real added value.

This is how Notebookcheck is testing
Every year, Notebookcheck independently reviews hundreds of laptops and smartphones using standardized procedures to ensure that all results are comparable. We have continuously developed our test methods for around 20 years and set industry standards in the process. In our test labs, high-quality measuring equipment is utilized by experienced technicians and editors. These tests involve a multi-stage validation process. Our complex rating system is based on hundreds of well-founded measurements and benchmarks, which maintains objectivity. Further information on our test methods can be found here.
I have always been very passionately interested in mobile technologies, especially smartphones. Being a tech enthusiast means the half-life of my devices isn’t exactly long, and being the latest hardware is not enough to suffice as the manufacturer and operating system play a minor role – the most important aspect for me is that the device is state-of-the-art. After posting for Mobi Test I joined Notebookcheck in 2016, where I have been pursuing my enthusiasm for technology by reviewing the latest smartphone, tablet, and accessory trends.

My lifelong passion for tech was born in a gadget-filled household in Scotland. From games consoles to cameras to computers. Early adopters, so early the phrase might have been coined with our family in mind.
On finishing school, I trained and qualified as a golf professional before moving to Germany, where I have worked and lived for over 30 years.
In 2002, I formed a successful English language centre, providing training, translations and digital learning systems to numerous businesses in the Rhein Neckar metropole area.
Whether augmented or virtual reality, smart devices, mobile technology, sustainable environmental solutions, the tech world is as exciting now as it has ever been.
Working with Notebookcheck allows me to combine my love of both tech and language.
