Just after unveiling its latest smartphone for European markets, Xiaomi turned its attention back home. It launched a brand-new device, the Xiaomi 17, in its home country. This phone became a huge hit almost instantly. It smashed through the one-million-unit sales mark in China with impressive speed.
The Xiaomi 17 is Flying Off Shelves
The new Xiaomi 17 series hit stores in China a few days ago. It took just 48 hours to make history, selling over a million units. This speedy success proves the brand’s strength even before it reaches other parts of the world. It also hints at a big global launch coming soon.
Official figures show that the launch of this series was explosive. It includes the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max models. In the first two minutes, they broke a sales record. The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max even sold out in just five minutes.
This Pro Max model has made up about half of all sales so far. This clearly shows it is the top pick in the lineup. It’s also worth noting that sales in physical stores doubled or even tripled online sales. This highlights how strong Xiaomi’s distribution network is in its home country.
More Than a Million Sold in 2 Days
The massive number of orders made Xiaomi increase production for the entire series. This helps them meet demand and prevent running out of stock. That’s not the only change. Fans complained about the standard model lacking a 1TB version. They wanted more internal storage. So, the company listened and will now offer it for sale starting October 5.
Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group, shared on his Weibo profile that this storage option was left out before. This was because the previous generation with 1TB didn’t sell well. However, he stressed that Xiaomi listens to its community. The company is ready to meet user needs. This move boosts loyalty among its most dedicated fans.
With such a strong start in China, people have high hopes for the global launch. It’s expected in the coming weeks. Xiaomi sold over a million phones in under 48 hours and quickly responded to user requests. The new Xiaomi 17 family is set to be one of the year’s biggest mobile technology hits.
