Xiaomi presents the Xiaomi 17 series: innovation in mobile imaging together with Leica

During the announcement, the company also reinforced its intelligent ecosystem with new Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) products, reaffirming its vision of offering a connected, intuitive and high-performance experience for users.

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra was born as the Ultimate Imaging Flagship, designed to deliver the essence of Leica imaging through genuine and sophisticated optics. This device incorporates Xiaomi’s first 1″ LOFIC main sensor, improving HDR performance and detail capture in complex lighting conditions. It also highlights its 200MP Leica telephoto lens with 75–100 mm mechanical optical zoom, designed under APO optical standards to offer maximum precision even at long focal lengths.

This piece of deep co-engineering integrates Leica Summilux optical lenses, which thanks to its advanced glass treatment and state-of-the-art coatings, allow cleaner light to reach the sensor, thus achieving the German brand’s authentic dual photographic aesthetics. In the video section, the equipment allows recording in Dolby Vision and ACES Log up to 4K at 120 fps, providing advanced cinematographic capabilities that allow professional content creators to carry an elite production tool in their pocket.

More than a technical update, the Xiaomi 17 series represents a declaration of principles: bringing the essence of classic photography to the smartphone, reinterpreted with cutting-edge tools. The collaboration between Xiaomi and Leica evolves towards a strategic co-creation model, where engineering, color science and visual philosophy converge from conceptual design to the final user experience.

The result is a proposal that seeks something more than sharpness or resolution: images with character, depth and a recognizable visual narrative. Inspired by German optical tradition, the new devices integrate standards developed under Leica’s centuries-old experience, recognized for its precision, distinctive color treatment and focus on authentically capturing moments.

In the case of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the experience is aimed at those looking for an advanced creative tool in their pocket, with capabilities designed to capture complex scenes with high dynamic range, portraits with natural depth and video with cinematic aspirations. As for the Xiaomi 17, it balances power and versatility in a more compact format, bringing the Leica experience closer to more users looking for premium photography without sacrificing portability.

For its part, the Xiaomi 17 represents a comprehensive update in all its dimensions. Designed to challenge the highest standards in the market, including direct competition with the industry’s most recognized Pro models, this device offers a professional-grade picture, display and battery experience.

With a focus on power and elegance, the Xiaomi 17 exceeds expectations for its category (outcompeting traditional Pro standards) thanks to exceptional performance optimization and long-lasting autonomy, allowing the Leica experience to be accessible in a more compact but equally indomitable format.

The series adopts a minimalist aesthetic language, with clean lines and refined proportions that evoke the sobriety and elegance associated with classic photographic design. Each element, from the structural construction to the arrangement of the camera module, responds to a clear intention: to highlight the importance of the image as the central axis of the device.

In the Ultra model, the Xiaomi Guardian structure reinforces durability and conveys solidity, while the color palette of the Xiaomi 17 is committed to a contemporary expression that combines technology and style.

Beyond photography, the Xiaomi 17 series integrates a new generation of performance and energy efficiency, with platforms designed to respond to the demands of multitasking, content creation and immersive entertainment. The high-brightness, adaptive refresh rate OLED screens complement the visual experience, guaranteeing chromatic fidelity and clarity even outdoors, a relevant advantage for the urban pace and diversity of environments in Peru.

In the framework of Leica’s centenary, Xiaomi highlights the cultural and technical value of this alliance, which transcends hardware development to become a long-term creative collaboration. The Xiaomi 17 series symbolizes that convergence between tradition and innovation: a bridge between 100 years of photographic heritage and the future of mobile imaging.

With this global launch, Xiaomi reaffirms its commitment to bringing cutting-edge technology and high-level photographic experiences to the Peruvian public, integrating Leica’s legacy into devices designed to capture every moment with precision, style and authenticity.

The Xiaomi 17 series will be available in different storage configurations and select colors. Prices and market arrival dates will be announced soon in each region.
