However, a Chinese tech company, Xiaomi, is stealing the spotlight with its latest innovation, the Xiaomi 17 Pro. This device stands out with a large front screen and a unique feature – a mini Dynamic Back Display on the rear case.
Xiaomi claims that this additional panel provides users with enhanced interaction capabilities, allowing for notifications like messages and emails, as well as tracking deliveries. The display can be customized to function as a clock, music player, or digital sticky notes board. Users can also personalize the display with smart AI wallpapers generated from images of pets or people.
The dual-screen design of the Xiaomi 17 Pro offers a range of functionalities, including serving as a virtual pet, flight tracker, diary, and a convenient viewfinder for taking selfies with the high-quality dual-lens cameras.
The company describes the Xiaomi 17 Pro as a revolutionary device that combines sleek aesthetics with intelligent features. The Dynamic Back Display offers customizable watch faces, AI wallpapers, virtual pets, dynamic notifications, and more, enhancing user lifestyle and productivity.
Apart from the dual display, the phone boasts impressive features like fast-charging capabilities. The Xiaomi 17 Pro series supports rapid 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, outpacing competitors like the iPhone in charging speed.
Moreover, the Xiaomi 17 Pro is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, known for its enhanced performance and efficiency. While the release date for the UK market is yet to be announced, the Xiaomi 17 Pro series, which includes a standard version and a larger Max model, is already available for purchase in China, hinting at a potential global rollout soon.
