Xiaomi has confirmed that the newly launched Xiaomi 17 series has reached a major sales milestone. The update comes directly from Lu Weibing, partner and president at Xiaomi Group, who revealed that the company has seen a surge in demand and is now pushing production to keep pace with consumer interest.

Xiaomi 17 Pro Max drives demand and supply adjustments

Xiaomi 17 series sales

Within two days of its launch, the Xiaomi 17 series surpassed one million units sold. The Pro Max model accounted for more than half of the total, followed by the Pro version. Both devices successfully crossed the 6,000 Yuan (~$840) mark, reflecting a stronger positioning for Xiaomi’s flagship line-up. According to Weibing, this shift represents a historic improvement in the brand’s product structure.

One area of criticism, however, was the absence of a 1TB option in the standard Xiaomi 17 at launch. The company quickly responded by confirming mass production of a 1TB variant, which will officially go on sale from 5 October at 5,299 Yuan (~$745). This price is 200 Yuan (~$28) lower than the equivalent version of the Xiaomi 15.

Weibing highlighted that the 17 series has already outpaced the Xiaomi 15 in terms of sales speed and expressed confidence that the overall volumes will exceed the previous generation.

Despite some stock shortages and high demand for certain configurations, Xiaomi has pledged to increase supply so that customers can get their devices sooner. The company’s record-breaking first-day sales figures and strong response to higher-end models underline how its latest flagship strategy is resonating with buyers.

Haha, I also just picked up a new android phone...... Moto edge 60pro.

Replacing my moto S30pro of three years. Now a good spare.

Whilst no service locally, if anybody was to ask me, moto these days are pretty good and I would recommend. Night shots with the camera, really good.

My old S30pro version, China made. My 60pro version, India made..... So the English is also better 😂

Basically, S$500 for 12/256 version.

When I bought the S30pro from China like 3yrs ago, also was around S$615 so getting an upgrade like this was a no-brainer. 😁

From Lazada, Shopee, yes, mostly the Motorola/Lenovo version from China. I think they call it S60 instead of edge?

I had a friend buy directly in India and bring back.

I believe, these days, most of us have a friend that can bring back from India. 🤫 The edge, though, is also available in EU and US and can be found on ebay. Anybody remember ebay?  😁

I would get those 2 to 3 years old flagship phone. Those newly release flagship prices too exorbitant.
