In an unexpected development, Xiaomi’s official Weibo account has briefly revealed the rear design of the much-anticipated Xiaomi 17 Pro series. The quickly replaced profile image provides the first clear look at the device’s notable features: a triple-lens camera module – consisting of two prominent sensors and a third, smaller lens with a flash – and a full-size secondary screen covering the entire rear camera area. Early feedback indicates that this rear display will provide users with at-a-glance information like the time and notifications, making Xiaomi a leader in smartphone innovation by integrating new levels of functionality directly into the hardware design.Rear screen concept revisited
This development echoes the company's previous experiment with the Xiaomi 11 Ultra, which introduced a compact 1.1-inch rear display. While initially appealing, the feature was not continued in subsequent models. The Xiaomi 17 Pro series takes the concept further; the full-size rear screen is expected to support a wide range of productivity and lifestyle features, from notification management to improved camera previews and possibly music controls. The move signals Xiaomi's commitment to delivering user-centric innovation while differentiating its products in an increasingly competitive market.
