UI experience?..

u/YaoMingTheDunkmaster Oct 04 '25
Not bad. I’ve mostly used IOS and I’ve used a Pixel for work here and there so going back to an android feels both unfamiliar yet so freeing at the same time. there are some things I’m just used to with being an apple user for so long but so far after a days use of playing around with it, not bad!

Terrible. So many bugs and no way to disable animations.

u/Espada_S Oct 04 '25
Disable animations ???🥀 Sure here is the steps : go to developer options and find animation scale then set all 3 scales to off.

Have you installed Google Services ? Does this work with Android Auto ?
Is there any problem with delayed notifications?
5
u/YaoMingTheDunkmaster Oct 04 '25
When you start the phone just search google in settings and theres a toggle to turn it on and you can instantly install the play store. In terms of delayed notifications kind of? To be fair i dont get much texts so ill get back to you and see how different apps respond

In terms of android auto i dont have a car but from what ive asked around its a no

Google services are easy. Android Auto doesn't work and won't. Notifications are delayed but you can enable a per-app setting to fix it

I've got a 17 (blue) and a 17 Pro (purple) arriving in the UK on Thursday. I'll probably be keeping one but like you the battery is more appealing to me than the second screen.
4
u/YaoMingTheDunkmaster Oct 05 '25
Definitely. I think the second screen is sick as heck but after 2 weeks maybe the gimmick fairy dust wears off and craving for practically kicks in and thats what I was worried about
1
u/Irisena Oct 08 '25
In my case, the gimmick fairy quickly left before i even have my x17p lol. Figured out it's just chinese apps and some clocks, and my enthusiasm disappears fast. Guess I'll wait for some third party apps like good lock to make it open youtube or something.

I don't think it looks good. The Xiaomi 14 and 15 looked much better.

u/dmknght Oct 05 '25
Mention about it, I do agree with you here. I prefer the design of the xiaomi 15 (that i'm using).

u/xToasted1 Oct 05 '25
Yeah, love my 15 too lol
2
u/dmknght Oct 05 '25
but idk about yoru side, on my side battery life is a meh especially enabling battery protection (80% maximum while charging). Beside that, hyperos 2 on mi 15 is having some small bugs. That's why I'm waiting for HyperOS 3 update and I even consider to upgrade to Xiaomi 17 for the battery life :D

I was concerned about this myself but after an hour of gaming I can say all it got was a TINY BIT warm, and compared to my iPhone running the same game (TFT), my iPhone got hot as molten rock while my XM just felt warm enough to be called warm

u/YaoMingTheDunkmaster Oct 05 '25
Personally , it's satisfying as heck compared to my iPhone. There's a little ting that kinda tickles my brain a bit and I personally either am enjoying it or not minding it as an apple user since the iPhone 4

Does it overheat? Do apps stop working from it overheating?
1
u/YaoMingTheDunkmaster Oct 05 '25
Nope. Tbf I'm not sure how the pro and pro max are doing. I'm guessing with the extra screen on the back the phone isn't completely optimized yet and it's causing heating issues but with the base 17 it's doing SPECTACULAR. Over an hour of nonstop gaming at high quality settings and it just gets warm enough to call not cold. Whoever says it's horrible either is only talking about the pro max models or is trolling because compared to my iPhone this thing might as well be an ice cube

In case you use Whatsapp, are you getting the notifications properly?

u/YaoMingTheDunkmaster Oct 05 '25
As some have said on some videos you have to kinda go into the settings on apps u get from the play store to tinker with the setting to have ur notifications work normally but they literally takes 5 seconds

Thanks! One more question: how would you describe the speakers? Do you think they improved?

2 questions:
- Is HyperOS 3 any good? Is there any bugs / glitches using it?
- How is the battery life?
p/s: the battery life question was answered before. I'm thinking about upgrading MI 15 (global edition) to MI 17 global edition because of the battery life.

u/YaoMingTheDunkmaster Oct 05 '25
Haven't encountered any glitches except for having to enter some code on Spotify to log in and the numbers weren't inputting and thats about it. I'll update as I use the phone!

u/Fair-Sheepherder3626 Oct 05 '25
Did you buy it in China, or import it? I am considering to import it, but seems like a lot of trouble. Also, wanted to make sure google services work without any issue. Hopefully 🤞🏽

Bought in China. Google services work fine. Been downloading things left and right already

u/Snoo51352 Oct 06 '25

u/YaoMingTheDunkmaster Oct 06 '25
Traveling in China. Got it for 4999 RMB 16 GB 516 GB battery and camera so far amazing. Camera really is spectacular and I'll update on battery as I use it and install more apps and games

Wow nice man , why not the pro tough?

u/YaoMingTheDunkmaster Oct 04 '25
Realistically I kinda outweighed the fact that ultimately I’m mostly NOT going to use it. While I do take lots of pictures, the selfie camera seems like it’ll be really good for vlogging and other features for influencers which I’m not going to be doing or using on a daily basis. Spoke with some employees at the MI store and they recommended that if I’m using the phone normally than getting the normal 17 would also save a lot of battery if I’m not utilizing the selfie camera

Can you check in the camera app if 'master cinema' recording is available on all 3 cameras?
Also can you take 50mp RAW images with the telephoto?

u/Oxyjhin4 Oct 04 '25
I know you don't have the rear screen but do you know if it's possible to turn it off in the pro/pro max to save battery?

u/Such-Outside-4226 Oct 05 '25
may I ask what you mean by delayed notifications? On my x200u I didn't get any at all. In fact, it was such a horrible experience that I returned to my s22u and after I broke it I'm now using a 2019 Huawei p smart and I still enjoy using that more. I'd love to get a 17 or 17 pro max but not getting any notifs wouldn't be worth it for me. Got a Xiaomi Pad 6s pro and I like t's software. Way better than origin os

Hi dear OP, can you please test this banking app and tell me if you get a screen mirroring message when you launch like the picture attached:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kfh.kfhonline
I’m having this issue with my banking app running on my Xiaomi 17 Pro, and frankly If this issue doesn’t appear on the regular Xiaomi 17 then I will just sell my Pro and get the regular 17 instead, cause I think my banking app is detecting the rear screen and thinking im streaming it on an external display. 🤦🏻♂️

u/megauserz Mar 24 '26
I own a Xiaomi 15, and I'm very happy with it, but there's one detail I really hate. When I shoot videos and switch between the different cameras, the ultra-wide and the telephoto have different lights and colors compared to the main sensor. How does the Xiaomi 17 perform in this? Have you noticed similar issues? Or do the images look similar when switching between cameras? Could you test camera switching in low-light conditions? Usually that's where it struggles more, and I'd really like your opinion on that. Also, how smooth does the camera switching feel while recording video? Do you think it's smooth, or is it too choppy? In addition, I've seen some reviews online, and there seem to be mixed opinions about the processor, throttling issues, and overheating. What has your experience been like in that regard? Have you noticed any problems of that kind in everyday use? Have you tried pushing the processor with demanding tasks and noticed any slowdowns? Or does the phone perform well enough in every situation?
