r/Xiaomi17

Hey everyone,

A critical bug has been confirmed on the Xiaomi 17 Ultra (Global) and the Leitz Phone Edition: the telephoto lens motor stops working, causing the lens to no longer move.

This results in the camera being unable to focus at zoom levels above 3.2x and in some cases, the camera app crashes entirely after clearing cache.

We got confirmation today that Xiaomi is aware of the issue and their team is investigating. The fix priority depends directly on the number of official reports they receive, so every report counts.

How to report (takes 2 minutes):

- Open the "Services & Feedback" app (pre-installed on your device)

- Describe the issue: telephoto lens not moving / camera unable to zoom above 3.2x

- Attach a screen recording or logs if you can reproduce it

The more of us report it through official channels, the faster it gets escalated and patched.

Don't just comment here please take the time to submit a report.

Thanks 🙏

Hello

I bought the Ugreen Finder Pro compatible Android + IOS but I can't connect it to my Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, I tried to check sone answers through AI but nothing working so far.

So it's just due to the Chinese rom and its restriction or I am missing something else ?

Thanks for your help

Hi!

Ich überlege von meinem Galaxy S22 auf ein Xiaomi 17 umzusteigen und hab ein paar Fragen. Würde mich freuen wenn sie jemand beantworten kann.

Standort: germany

Mein Hauptgrund Samsung zu verlassen ist die Akkulaufzeit. Deshalb die wichtigste Frage: Wie ist die Erfahrung mit dem Akku des Xiamoi 17?

Wichtig wäre für mich auch, dass in Europa alle wichtigen Apps zuverlässig laufen: Banking, Bezahlen, Android Auto, Instagram, Messenger, Office Apps etc. Ich würde mich als Standard-Nutzer bezeichnen.

Wie ist es beim Xiaomi 17 mit Bloatware? Ist es arg viel? Wie ist das Betriebssystem HyperOS?

Bin über alle Infos dankbar!

I will try to keep it short. I decided to try the 17U mainly due to the New Super Hi-Dynamic Range Camera sensor as I use a Phone Camera to Make a lot of Video Content so I want the best I can get.

I previously/currently have a Samsung S25U which is my main phone. Also this is Not my First Xiaomi Phone - I had a Poco X3 Pro which was quite good for a cheap phone.

Here's what I liked on it better than my S25U In real Life: Nothing... 😞

-Even tho it had much larger battery than my S25U, the battery life was identical on both 😞

-Even tho the camera sensors on Paper are great, In real life the Camera experience felt half-baked and the results were kinda hit-or-miss. Especially the video recording wasn't very reliable compared to my Samsung. The Autofocus was like 20x worse on it than on S25U.

-Microphones for video recording felt really bad and the overall video recording didn't felt reliable for the work that I do.

-The pictures were kinda OK, but I didn't liked the Heavy AI usage for the zoom- it made them look weird..

Overall Since I'm mostly a Video guy this Phone felt like a Downgrade when it comes to cameras compared to my S25U

-The software probably was the next biggest let-down. It overall felt like something that you would get on an Entry Level Phone - not an Ultra Flagship with very high price tag. I thought it's going to be better than what I had on the Old Poco. However it simply felt half-baked and not very well polished.

-Coming from a Very Slim Phone, the Bulk of the phone felt crazy and the massive camera bump definitely isn't helping the phone in any way when it comes to the comfort.

In the End, I decided to get my Money back and returned the Phone. I think the hardware apart from the Bulk of it/microphones is decent but the Software/Optimization/lack of polish of it is the problem. It simply did not felt like a flagship Experience even tho it has Monster specs.

I know this is not a Positive review of this phone but I wanted to share my real-life impressions in-case it helps someone anyway.

Thanks!

Hello, I bought a Xiaomi 17 Pro about 3 days ago and I'm really impressed with it, but there are a few things that leave me with doubts. The camera doesn't seem as good as it appears in videos.How can I improve it? What settings should I adjust to make it work better? Also, the battery drains quickly; it runs out much faster than a 6300mAh battery. I get it at 100% in the morning and it drops to 20% in the evening.Also, how can I personalize my phone even more? I've seen some people use the back screen however they like, so I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me about some customization options I can use on my phone. Thank you for your support.

Hi guys, Im new to Xiaomi and got a x17P and its so far good. However the notification and the chinese bloating apps quite bother me to make x17P my main phone. And I just found out that there is EU rom for it but needing your help before making decision. I want to know more that

1. This EU ROM is official from Xiaomi or 3rd party? Network working well?

2. Is it global? Working well with all the Google service and notification, remove all Chinese app?

3. Can it update OTA or I need to manual flash whenever there is one update?

4. I will need to unlock bootloader, flash rom, then relock it to use banks and other app right?

5. Any recommendation or caution?

Anybody have any real world experience with compatibility between the 2?

It's i4 so NFC digital key, not UWB digital key plus.

Xiaomi 15 is on the BMW list, but took about 9 months after release to get the necessary Google Wallet Digital Key updates. Xiaomi 27 already has the Wallet APIs, so I don't know if it will just work, or requires a further active update for acceptance by BMW. The last BMW list I've seen published was Decent, so Xiaomi 17bwasnt wven released then to include.

Thanks
