The head start, coupled with the company’s high-end manufacturing and marketing plan, aided Xiaomi in enticing both loyal admirers and new high-end smartphone users.

The Xiaomi 17 Pro’s inclusion in the top 3 single-product activation rankings across all price categories further solidifies its commercial success and showcases Xiaomi’s strong brand momentum.
