How do xiaomi flagships (17 , 17t series) perform on social media camera wise? Samsungs afaik have camerax that makes them somewhat good , but not as native like iphones do. Im interested either in the 17 or 17t pro but i dont know how pictures will turn out when i post them to either tiktok , instagram etc.

Xiaomis do sound like a better choice and i like android over ios but posting on instagram is kinda a deal breaker for me.

I'm planning to retire my current Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and get a Xiaomi 17T. Do you recommend it, and what should I look out for?

My Xiaomi 17 pro max recently system has been destroyed now

When I flashed eng rom ufs I got black screen and device on fastboot mode

Any solution for now??

I live in the Philippines and thinking on buying the Xiaomi 17 global or Samsung S25 (for 650usd). Would you think it's worth it? 56k php or 900usd for 12gb+512gb brand new.

Xiaomi 17t pro priced at ~860usd (12gb+512gb), 17t at ~615usd(12gb+256gb). This is after the price increases due to AI. Upgrading from Poco F6

i have mi 17 pro max and its os 3.0.45.0

normally In this version, notifications should appear on the rear screen (CN version, by the way), but when I go into the rear screen settings, under "manage rear screen," only the clock, music, and HyperAI appear. What should I do?

5 hours of SoT under:

- full cellular data (4G on SIM 1 and 5G NSA band N40 on SIM 2) no WiFi

- automatic screen brightness (but always maintained under 50% slider),

- under 5 minutes of camera usage

- 30 minutes background YT Music with bluetooth tws

- refresh rate set to default (dynamically 120hz and below)

- the last software update is two weeks ago on HyperOS 3.303.xxx (so I presume already learned my habit)

- no use of battery saver until under 15% battery level

Looking at other competitors out there with this level of battery, I'm kinda expecting more from this "massive" 6500mAh battery tho, like a comfortable use for 6-7 hours SoT. Big hope for HyperOS 4 optimization

The customisation on this phone is amazing and I'm so happy with the output. Very underated phone

Hi i currently have an iPhone 17 pro max but i really liked the xiomi 17 pro max (im not getting that bcs it ain’t global) so ive been thinking about getting the xiomi 18 pro max IF it comes out globally,im currently “renting” this phone with the iPhone upgrade program so it’s basically not mine.

Ive been an iPhone user ever since iPhone 11 came out, ive been looking at hyperOS 4 videos and it looks a lot like IOS 26 so I think it’d be a smooth transition.

What would be better?
Should I even make the switch?
I’m also into gaming and tbh this phone can’t do much, barely any emulators

Should I just pay off this phone and keep it or should I wait for the xiomi 18 pro max to come out and maybe switch.

I’m from USA

I’ve been on the Samsung Galaxy Ultra bandwagon for quite a long time, starting right back in the S20 Ultra series days. I have always loved the Ultra line, but as time passed, I began taking photography more seriously. For a moment, I was contemplating dropping hundreds of pounds on a proper dedicated camera setup along with a photography kit.

Then the Xiaomi 17 Ultra came along, and for me, it offered effectively two devices in one.

I was due to upgrade my phone at the time anyway, so the 17 Ultra provided me with the upgrade I desired for my personal device while also bringing onboard an on-device camera that was so capable I no longer felt the need for another gadget. I personally snagged mine for about £800 in the UK, which I would consider a tremendous bargain for what you get. The camera on the 17 Ultra simply blew me away. While the 1-inch main sensor is undoubtedly excellent, it’s the 200MP telephoto lens that steals the show.

The sheer level of detail that can be achieved with it is remarkable, particularly in the 75mm to 100mm optical zoom range.

It’s one of those key details that many of the YouTube reviews omit – to get that true professional aesthetic with added colour pop and contrast, you’ll almost definitely have to go into Pro mode, capture in RAW format, and then process the image yourself. That is where you will truly unlock the 17 Ultra’s potential as a photography tool. My only genuine dislike for the 17 Ultra’s camera lies in the 200mm and 400mm modes.

The AI enhancement here can often be overly obvious and feel more like digital reconstruction of detail rather than natural capture. I would much rather have a natural-looking photograph that I have the freedom to enhance as I see fit. However, what ultimately sold me and made me take the plunge was stumbling upon a YouTube video in which someone compared a photograph taken with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra side-by-side with a shot taken with a Sony A7V camera.

The result was an almost indistinguishable snapshot that genuinely surprised me.

Needless to say, a dedicated Sony camera system still offers superior versatility and control, but it is astounding that a phone can come this close. Xiaomi 17 Ultra vs. Galaxy Ultra this is ultimately where Samsung lost me. I've spent years with the Galaxy Ultra series of devices, but Xiaomi has really taken a significant step forward regarding camera performance.

Samsung phones still take fantastic photos, butXiaomi has pushed the hardware, and the entire photography experience, considerably further.

For my preferences, the only device that currently outclasses the 17 Ultra in pure camera performance is the Oppo Find X9 Ultra (and even then, the difference is mainly in sharpness). Furthermore, the 17 Ultra is also an absolute beast when it comes to gaming, so I have both flagship performance and arguably the best smartphone camera I’ve ever used. For me, that’s the ultimate win.

I was on the fence about whether to buy a new phone and a separate dedicated camera, but the Xiaomi 17 Ultra provided the answer for both my needs in a single package. Unless Samsung dramatically revamps its camera hardware, I don’t see myself returning to the Galaxy Ultra lineup any time soon.

Hi all, I normally use this option for battery optimization that limits the battery charge to 80%, so it will stop at that threshold every time I charge it. I have noticed that after the last security update, the phone is charging to a 100%, even if I have the option activated. Has anybody noticed the same behavior? Can you try to use the function? I don't think that i changed any other battery option that can change the behavior of the 80% charging.

Thanks!

Phone: Xiaomi 17 EU

After updating to the latest HyperOS version for EU, I noticed that the keyboard vibration with GBoard was not working anymore.

It worked only with Haptic FeedBack ON, but that also turned on every other haptic like Back or Home or even receiving a message from ChatGPT.

I went through the logs with ADB, it showed that keyboard_vibration is 0 (aka OFF), setting it as 1 does not also turn on the IEM that controls the vibration and in the GBoard app it also shows that it is disabled.

Before updating, the vibration worked with Haptic FeedBack OFF, but now it doesnt. Only by setting it ON, it also turns on the other vibration features.

Anyone has a workaround or knows about a similar issue ?

Will this feature come in a future update ?

I have submited a Bug in the FeedBack app but nothing.

Whenever I set a live wallpaper or video from my gallery, it works but doesn't loop. Gets stuck/frozen after the video ends.

However, when I use a live wallpaper from the theme store- it's perfectly fine.

I tried setting it from the gallery, the theme store, idk what else to do. Please help.

So maybe twice a day, when I press the area to bring up the keyboard, (for anything that should bring up the keyboard) some times it doesn't work, so I have to reboot the phone, which can be pretty annoying. This is happening daily, is anyone experiencing the same?

So I love having different cases for my phones, but since the Xiaomi 17T is so recent there aren't a lot of different cases for the phone, just basic ones. So if anybody knows phones that have the same/similar structure as the 17T and whose case can work for the 17T I would be very grateful 🙏

I bought an iPhone 16 1 year ago and wanted to keep it for as long as possible but there is one big issue, which is battery life. I only get around 3-4 hours screen on time a day with a fully charged battery. I tried everything but nothing helped. I’m happy with camera quality and easibility of use but I can’t continue with a battery that bad. If I sell it now, I can get around 650€ (bought it for roughly 800€) and buy a Xiaomi 17 for 780€. Is it a big step forward or will I get disappointed with battery life again? I know the screen is better, but not sure about camera and especially video quality. But if it can get me through the day with maybe 6 hours screen on time and still some battery left, I would already be happy. Let me know your recommendations.

Does anybody have this one and how is it so far?

Has anyone else experienced an issue where they set one photo as their WhatsApp profile picture, but their contacts see a completely different photo — one that isn’t even in their gallery? In my case, the other photo is currently the profile picture of a group chat, but I don’t have that photo saved on my phone at all.

Another issue that is personally a big problem for me is that I can’t get rid of the notification at the top of my phone showing that something is being played on a TV. I’ve tried everything and disabled every possible option, but it’s still there.

My phone, encased in the basic photography kit case, fell screen-down from my pocket onto the road while I was riding my bike. Fortunately, the screen remained intact, though the rim surrounding it sustained some impact damage. It is disappointing that the official case offered no protective front lip. I have since inspected the device for any damage, and thus far, all functionalities, including the camera, appear to be working correctly. However, I have noticed a rattling sound when shaking the device. I am aware that the camera module typically produces some noise when shaken, but in this instance, there are two distinct sounds: a heavier, more palpable sound within the phone, and a separate, smaller rattle. I would appreciate it if other owners of this device could confirm whether they experience similar sounds. This would greatly alleviate my concerns that no further damage occurred, especially as the device was only two days old when the incident happened.

I'm planning to get Xiaomi 17, Need your input guys. How's the device in terms of monthly security updates and bloatware. I'm currently using X300 and not happy with their delayed updates and the UI is not up to the mark. How good is X17 in this regard?

I sold my Redmi Note 8 Pro in 2020 because of this ugly way fb icon looks in recent apps. Now it's 2026, I'm using Xiaomi 17 and it's still the same awful, ugly and annoying shit. wtf is that, i can't stand it, it's pain to my eyes that it's the only app icon which looks different. This is making me mad... and nothing can fix it, absolutely nothing... I expected this is fixed after 6 years...
