Xiaomi is gearing up to launch its next flagship lineup, the Xiaomi 17 series, later this month.
The much-anticipated series will include the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, both of which are confirmed to feature a unique secondary display on the back panel, offering a fresh design twist for premium users.
The upcoming smartphones will debut with Qualcomm’s latest processor, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, which itself is set for an official unveiling on September 23. Ahead of its launch, the Xiaomi 17 Pro has already appeared on the popular benchmarking platform Geekbench, showcasing the impressive potential of the unreleased chipset.
According to the listing, a Xiaomi device carrying the model number 25098PN5AC—believed to be the Xiaomi 17 Pro—will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with a substantial 16GB of RAM. The device is also expected to run Android 16, likely customized with Xiaomi’s upcoming HyperOS 3 software.
The Geekbench database further reveals details about the chipset’s configuration. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 reportedly includes two Oryon cores clocked at 4.61 GHz and six performance cores running at 3.63 GHz. On the performance side, the Xiaomi 17 Pro managed to score 3,096 points in single-core tests and 9,382 points in multi-core tests.
While these early scores suggest a significant performance leap, industry experts caution that benchmark results should always be taken with caution, as final optimizations often arrive closer to launch. Still, the listing offers an exciting glimpse at what Xiaomi’s next flagship could deliver in terms of speed and efficiency.
With a sleek design, cutting-edge hardware, and next-gen performance powered by Snapdragon’s most advanced chipset, the Xiaomi 17 series is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about Android launches of 2025. The company is expected to reveal more details in the coming weeks, with the official debut set before the end of September.
