at the xiaomi launch event on the evening of september 25th, lei jun officially announced that the price range of the xiaomi 17 would be between 4,499 yuan and 4,999 yuan, and emphasized the breakthrough performance of the model in battery life. in his speech, lei jun directly compared the xiaomi 17 with the iphone 17, pointing out that "the battery life of the xiaomi 17 is still twice that of the iphone 17", and this data immediately sparked applause from the audience. this surprising difference stems from the fact that the performance of the standard version of the xiaomi 17 is close to that of the iphone 17 pro, yet it achieves better energy efficiency control.
lei jun further corroborated this advantage with gaming test data: in heavy gaming scenarios, the xiaomi 17 not only has a higher frame rate but also significantly better temperature control than the iphone 17. three-hour continuous gaming tests showed that the xiaomi 17's frame rate stability and heat dissipation performance are comprehensively leading. this is due to the innovative heat dissipation system and chip-level power optimization technology adopted by the xiaomi 17, which enables high performance and long battery life to be achieved simultaneously.
it's worth noting that lei jun particularly emphasized that the xiaomi 17's thermal control performance "is indeed more outstanding", which forms a technical closed loop with its battery life that is twice that of the iphone 17. analysts believe that this combination of "upgraded performance + doubled battery life" will redefine the value standard of flagship smartphones. with the official launch of the xiaomi 17, the competitive landscape of the high-end smartphone market may face new changes.
