is Xiaomi 17 worth investing?
So... Xiaomi 17 will be available at Great Indian Sale for ₹59999.
12GB-512GB model.
I know it was kinda a flop. That's probably due to the launch of Vivo X300, Oppo Find X9 at the same time.
Since none of the Vivo & Oppo are available now, is Xiaomi 17 good to get in 2026?
X300 is available in the used market for around 50-55k but i don't wanna go that route.
This Xiaomi 17 has Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SOC in it, which is still the best SOC out there(For android).
While the Main camera is exceptional, the Ultrawide is fixed focus and the Telephoto is a meh 2.6x.
Also, I have no issue with HyperOS as I have already been using a Poco F6 since 2024.
I don't really require a smartphone right now, but looking at the not so distant future, I'm afraid smartphone prices will be skyrocketing in 2027. And Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 seems to be future proof for at least 3 years.
That said, it will be available for only 59999. There's not a single device that can outperform this Xiaomi 17 at this price.
So... suggestions and reviews welcome.
