Xiaomi has rolled out the latest HyperOS 3.0.17.0 update to the Xiaomi 17 Pro series (full review), adding new features and system optimizations. The update (build number 3.0.17.0.WPBCNXM) is around 712MB in size and is now available for users in China.
The new firmware enables dynamic rear display notifications, allowing users to view 12306 train trip reminders on the secondary screen. This feature targets commuters in China who rely on the 12306 service for railway bookings and real-time updates.
Xiaomi has also improved gesture recognition for the panda pet animation in low-light conditions and resolved a bug that caused rear display flickering in some scenarios.
In terms of system improvements, the update enhances overall stability and optimizes power consumption during specific tasks. Xiaomi has also made adjustments to improve gaming performance in select scenarios. The update fixes an issue where dual apps were unintentionally removed and corrects a problem that triggered automatic hands-free mode during incoming calls on third-party live-streaming apps. The October 2025 Android security patch is also included to improve device security.
Xiaomi recently confirmed that the Xiaomi 17 series has crossed one million units sold within just two days of launch. The 17 Pro Max model accounted for more than half of these sales. Both the 17 Pro and Pro Max crossed the 6,000 yuan (~$840) mark, which signals a shift toward a more premium pricing strategy.
Lu Weibing, Partner and President at Xiaomi Group, said the company is increasing production to meet the strong demand. He confirmed that the Xiaomi 17 series is selling faster than the Xiaomi 15 series, which launched last year.
Xiaomi also addressed early user feedback by launching a 1TB variant of the standard Xiaomi 17. This version went on sale on October 5 and is priced at 5,299 yuan (~$745), making it 200 yuan cheaper than the 1TB model of the Xiaomi 15.
Xiaomi said it is working to resolve temporary stock shortages and ensure wider availability. The strong response to the Xiaomi 17 series reflects the company’s continued push toward the high-end smartphone segment.
