I've heard the Xiaomi 17 series will get 7 years of updates until 2032 or 33. Is this for both security patches and major OS upgrades? Also, what's the expected schedule? Monthly, quarterly, or something else?

Does anyone have a link to the official Xiaomi policy? I want to make sure before I buy.

Im thinking of buying the 17t pro but have seen people say it has overheating issues so i want to know if thats true?

I usually have alot of screen on time and use tiktok, instagram, whatsapp,x, gmail and x, youtube alot i dont really game much but id like to play football manager 26 ​

I bought this phone mainly for its camera and so far, I love it. I'm very happy with my decision.

I want to take it to a next level and I'm thinking of buying accessories for it. Instead of buying the professional photography kit, what could I buy with that budget instead? I don't really see much use for the photography kit FOR ME.

So, drop down the accessories that helped you, or you like.

Thanks 🙏🏻

Honest question from a new user. The phone feels great on the home screen, but the second I pull down the notification shade or open the recent apps menu while gaming, the frame rate tanks. I've already cleared the system cache and turned off memory extension. Is this just how Xiaomi optimizes their UI, or am I missing a setting?

Does anyone know the release date for Xiaomi 18 pro max and if it's going to be released with the global version this time and also lastly if there will be a gaming retro case like with the 17 pro max model and if it will work for global users this time around and not only for China users with Chinese id?

Hey everyone,

I’m using a Xiaomi 17 Ultra and I noticed that Android System is taking a surprisingly high amount of battery in the battery stats.

Device info:

• Model: Xiaomi 17 Ultra
• RAM: 16 GB
• OS: HyperOS / Android
• Region/ROM: China ROM
• Usage: mostly TikTok, social media, camera, normal daily use
• Battery mode: Balanced
• Root/bootloader: rooted / unlocked bootloader

The weird thing is that sometimes Android System shows up very high, even when I’m mostly just using normal apps. The phone can also get warm sometimes, and I’m not sure if this is just HyperOS background optimization, Google services, root-related stuff, or some system wakelock.

Has anyone else with a Xiaomi / HyperOS device had Android System using a lot of battery?

What should I check?

Any tips would be appreciated.

Hello.
Let’s get started with this. I am an iPhone user of almost 4 years. I’ve been wanting one since I was young and I got it a couple of years ago. Looking back now, I don’t get why I was so fussed about it..🫠

(I have the iPhone 15 pro max)

I am completely tired of how it lacks customisation, how I am not free to just reply on messenger while using an app since IOS does not have the bubble overlay, not free to download apps I want if not from the App Store.
Overheating, battery draining over NOTHING (lol that is pathetic in 2026).

I went to the store the other day to take a look at some laptops and while I was browsing the store, I came across the Xiaomi 17 Ultra.

What a freaking beauty. Amazing design, good materials, vivid colors, smoothly operating. Overall really good stats for the price.

The camera bump is just HUGE on its own, but with a case, it’s fine.

The thing now is that I’m not quite sure if I am going to like the operating system and how the apps work…

I mainly use my phone for my job since I need to answer phone calls all day long and then for music, photos, instagram scrolling and maybe a game or too.

Is the battery life good? Does it need constant charging? Is it laggy or lack anything significant?

Has anyone made this change? Is it worth it?

Help

I'm on the edge, it seems like a really good deal but I've never been a big spender on things, most I've spent on a phone has been like $200, so I'm kinda hesitant, any insights would be appreciated, thanks guys!!

Hello, I’m looking forward to buying the Xiaomi 17T in a few days, and I’m not sure how good the camera looks in third party apps, which is a concern for me since I use snapchat a-lot and hate the process of uploading something onto it.

So if anyone has a Xiaomi 17T, pls let me know how good the camera is in third party apps.

Yo everyone, S73RK0 TECH here. I’m 13 and I’m in a tough spot. I recently convinced my mom to let me pick out a Realme 16 Pro+ (12/512GB) (Even when I wanted Honor Magic8 Pro but shop didnt had its and I dont have enough time Because my Samsung Galaxy S10 lite have very bad battery and I didnt want IT main anymore). I promised her I wouldn’t complain and that I wouldn’t sell it, but I’m really regretting it.

The phone is driving me crazy – it has 12GB of RAM, but it lags so bad during multitasking that I have to wait a minute for it to respond. I can’t use it for my daily tasks properly. I really want to switch to a Xiaomi 13 Pro because I know the Xiaomi ecosystem fits my workflow much better.

I have the savings to cover the difference if I sell the Realme, but the problem is the promise I made to my mom. I don't want to be a liar or an ungrateful kid.

For those who know Realme vs Xiaomi: Is this kind of lag on the 16 Pro+ common? (Is it worth even trying to fix, or just move on?)

How do I explain to my mom that I’m breaking my promise, but only because the device is actually preventing me from doing what I need to do? How do I make her understand that this isn’t a whim, but a necessary change?
