The reason why Mi’s next generation of annual flagship ships will skip “Mi 16” and be renamed “Mi 17” is very direct, and that is to confront the newly published iPhone 17 in a positive way, showing the strength and determination of their products in no way to lose to each other.

The director of the rice brand, Lu Wei Bing, posted a post on the Chinese community web site Weibo, confirming that Mi17 will meet with you this month, one month ahead of the point of launch at the end of October, and that it is the biggest leap in the history of the Mi Digital Flagship series. It is mentioned that a change of name is a direct iPhone 17 series to the same generation.

Mi17 will have three main types of aircraft: Mi17, Mi17 Pro, Mi17 Pro Max, which corresponds to “the strongest standard in history” , “Small-size camera flagship” and “Stamp-top image flagship”.

This was not the first time that Mi had jumped on a product name, when Mi7 also jumped to Mi8 and collided with the iPhone 8 generation, when it was thought that Mi might want the flag model to match the company’s development year, but Mi responded that Mi8 had exceeded all expectations.

At present, according to the information received, Mi17 confirmed that it would be the first cell phone to use Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a high-speed new-generation flagship processor, and that it would be expected to reach 7,000 mah, wired from 90 W to over 100 W, with a recently released HyperOS 3.

In addition, Mi has determined that basic millet 17 will not increase prices, and there are rumours that the Pro series, which did not have an international version in the past, may no longer be limited by China, and may make it easier for overseas users who wish to be modest and do not want to sacrifice their filming performance to endure compromise.
