The Xiaomi 17 (launched in China in September 2025) has made a generational leap, skipping the "16" series to align with its competitors and marking a new era. In this article, we will break down every component, measurement, and technical specification you need to know. Let?s dive in!

Hardware and Battery: The Quantum Leap of the Xiaomi 17

Let?s talk about what?s under the hood. The Xiaomi 17 (base model) is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a 3nm chip that redefines power and efficiency. This processor isn?t just a performance beast; it?s surprisingly efficient, which brings us to the real crown jewel: the battery.

Here?s where things get interesting. The Chinese version of the Xiaomi 17 surprised the world with a 7000mAh battery. However, for the Global model (the one you'll find at iLevante.com), this figure adjusts to an impressive 6330mAh. While it?s a reduction, it?s still a massive capacity for a 6.3-inch phone, far surpassing the competition.

This silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery not only offers more capacity in less space but is managed by the Xiaomi Surge G2 chip. This chip is crucial for your battery?s longevity, optimizing charging cycles and ensuring that even after 2000 cycles, the battery maintains optimal performance. If you notice your Xiaomi 17?s battery life declining after a couple of years of intense use, replacing it with an original 6330mAh replacement battery is the easiest way to bring it back to life.

Common Hardware Issues and Replacements

As specialists in replacements, we know what worries users the most. The most common issues in any modern smartphone are:

• Screen Cracking: An unfortunate drop can shatter the AMOLED panel.
• Battery Degradation: Inevitable after hundreds of charging cycles.
• Charging Port Failure: Wear and tear from plugging and unplugging (though the Xiaomi 17 supports 50W wireless charging and 22.5W reverse charging).
• Broken Camera Lens: A direct hit to the camera module.

Fortunately, all these components are modular and replaceable. At iLevante.com, we ensure to stock complete screens for Xiaomi 17, original batteries, flex charging connectors, and camera lenses you need to keep your device "Elite."

Screen: The Brightest 1.5K LTPO Panel

The Xiaomi 17?s screen is simply stunning. We?re talking about a 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED panel. What does this mean in hardware terms?

• 1.5K Resolution (1220 x 2656 pixels): Sharper than Full HD+, offering a ~464 ppi density.
• Adaptive Refresh Rate (1-120Hz): The LTPO panel dynamically adjusts its refresh rate. It can drop to 1Hz to save battery on always-on display or rise to 120Hz for maximum smoothness in games or browsing.
• Peak Brightness of 3500 nits: One of the brightest screens on the market. You?ll see the content perfectly even under direct sunlight.
• Protection: The front glass is Xiaomi Dragon Crystal Glass, Xiaomi?s answer to Gorilla Glass, designed for extreme resistance to drops and scratches.

When this screen breaks, not only is the image lost, but also touch responsiveness. The replacement Xiaomi 17 Screen includes the AMOLED panel, the touch digitizer, and the outer glass in a single piece, ensuring the repair restores your phone?s original glory. Additionally, the ultrasonic fingerprint reader is located under this panel, another crucial hardware component.

Physical Measurements and Specifications Table of the Xiaomi 17

For those seeking precision, whether for a case or a repair, exact measurements are crucial. The Xiaomi 17 stands out for achieving a perfect balance between a generous screen size and a compact, manageable body.

The Leica Summilux Camera of the Xiaomi 17: An Extended Analysis

This is where the Xiaomi 17 proves that its hardware is "Ultra" level in a base body. The phone features a triple camera system co-developed with Leica, under the prestigious designation "Leica Summilux". In Leica nomenclature, "Summilux" is reserved for its brightest lenses (with large apertures), designed to capture the maximum amount of light. And this system is exactly that: three 50MP modules optimized for light.

(Note: It?s important not to confuse this system with that of the Ultra models, which may include different sensors like LOFIC or 200MP periscopes. The Xiaomi 17 base system is an engineering masterpiece in its own right).

Main Sensor: 50MP Light Fusion 950 (f/1.67)

The main module is the star. It uses a Light Fusion 950 50MP sensor. The technical data specifies that it?s a large 1/1.31-inch sensor, with 1.2µm pixels. The Leica Summilux lens has a very bright aperture of f/1.67 (rounded to f/1.7 on some spec sheets) and a versatile 23mm focal length.

This module includes OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), a mechanical component that moves the lens to compensate for hand shake. The combination of a large sensor and a wide aperture allows the Xiaomi 17 to capture incredible light and detail, creating the famous "Leica look" with a natural and precise background blur (bokeh).

Telephoto: 50MP Floating Lens (f/2.0)

This is perhaps the most innovative module of the set. It?s a 50MP sensor (1/2.76") with a 60mm lens (offering 2.6x pure optical zoom) and an f/2.0 aperture.

The defining hardware characteristic is its "floating lens design". This is an advanced hardware mechanism: the internal elements of the lens move, allowing the telephoto to focus at incredibly short distances. The result is spectacular tele-macro capability, being able to focus just 10cm away. This module also features OIS and PDAF (phase detection autofocus).

Ultra-Wide: 50MP (f/2.4)

Completing the trio, we find a 50MP sensor (1/2.76") with a 17mm lens. This provides a 102° field of view, perfect for landscapes, architecture, or group photos. The aperture is f/2.4, and the system relies on Laser AF (laser autofocus) to help the entire set focus quickly and accurately.

Front Camera (Selfie): 50MP

Xiaomi hasn?t overlooked the front camera. The selfie module is also high resolution, with 50MP, ensuring your selfies are as detailed as photos from the rear camera.

Camera Hardware and Common Repairs

The Leica Summilux system is a masterpiece, but it?s also a set of delicate optical and mechanical components. A hit or drop can result in various consequences. As replacement experts, it?s our job to help you identify the problem:

• If only the outer glass protecting the lenses is broken, but the photos still look good (albeit blurry due to the broken glass), you only need the camera lens replacement (the glass).
• If your photos come out black, blurry, the 60mm telephoto focus doesn?t work (a fault in the floating mechanism), or the camera app gives an error, you likely need to replace the specific camera module that's failing.

Each of these cameras (main, telephoto, ultra-wide, and front) is an independent modular component that you can replace. At iLevante.com, you can find the exact module you need to get your Leica camera back to working like the first day.
