There are two phones for you to choose from: the Xiaomi 17 and the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. If you are looking for a compact flagship that really does put other compact flagships in the market to shame, then look no further than the Xiaomi 17. The only thing that has improved this year happens to be the battery, which is now at 6330mAh and a new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor under the hood.
The flagship Xiaomi 17 Ultra gets a new camera setup consisting of 1” Light Fusion 1050L LOFIC HDR sensor with a 75-100mm APO Summilux Telephoto lens which are the two new breakthroughs which you will find under the hood. Apart from that, you get the same Snapdragon experience with 8 Elite Gen 5 and the new flat display design would entice a lot of users out there.

The improved Xiaomi Pad 8 Series is here and for those who want the most performance-centric tablet, then, the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro will get you going. Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite with a massive 9200mAh battery, 3.2K 144Hz display which supports Dolby Vision and with good speakers, you get the Atmos experience as well. It even gets an all new Xiaomi Focus Pen Pro with the same, if not similar keyboard sleeve as last year.
The more budget centric Pad 8 gets the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 with a slower fast charging speed. Apart from that, the experience is similar to the Pro.
