It seems someone at Otto.de was a bit too hasty: An attentive reader of Notebookcheck The upcoming Xiaomi 17 was briefly spotted on the online store of the e-commerce giant. Before the page went offline again, the most important specifications for the European market were secured. The leak not only confirms the hefty price, but also a new color option and a rather disappointing detail regarding the battery – especially for European users.
Price and availability: MWC launch seems certain
The Xiaomi 17 will be available in Germany in the configuration with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for EUR 1.099,90 The new model is set to launch. Xiaomi is thus sticking to its pricing strategy from its predecessor. Those needing less storage can likely expect a 256GB version for €999,90.
The stated delivery timeframe was "available in three weeks." Since the Mobile World Congress (MWC) starts on March 1st and the official presentation is expected there, everything points to a sales launch around March 2026.
Hardware: Leica optics and global battery reduction
Technically, the Xiaomi 17 is based on the Snapdragon 8 Elite (Gen 5) and continues to rely on a compact 6,3-inch display with a dynamic 120 Hz refresh rate. While the camera uses the proven... Leica Summilux lens While the battery scores points, there's a surprise in store for the global market.
Display: 6,3 inch LTPO OLED (1Hz - 120Hz).
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
Camera: Leica Summilux System.
Battery pack: 6.330 mAh (Global version) – a significant downgrade compared to the 7.000 mAh of the Chinese version.
Load: 100 watts via USB-PD.
New colors for Europe
In addition to the well-known classics black and light blue, the retailer listed a new green color variant. This shade of green appears to be darker and more sophisticated than previous pastel shades and is visually more reminiscent of the design of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra.

Xiaomi's decision to reduce the battery capacity for the European version by almost 700 mAh while keeping the price stable is likely to raise eyebrows among power users. Apparently, certifications or space constraints due to additional global radio modules prevent the integration of the massive Chinese battery. Nevertheless, €1.100 for the "smaller" version is a hefty price tag that will have to prove itself in tests against the upcoming Galaxy S26 and the current iPhone 17.
