Xiaomi is already preparing the next big upgrade in its S-series lineup. After launching the Xiaomi 15S Pro earlier this year with its powerful in-house 3nm XRING 01 chipset, new leaks now suggest that the company is working on its successor — the Xiaomi 17S Pro. The upcoming flagship could debut in 2026 and introduce Xiaomi’s next-generation XRING processor.
Xiaomi 17S Pro: What the Latest Leak Reveals
Tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo claims that Xiaomi will continue its usual release timeline, placing the Xiaomi 17S Pro on track for a 2026 launch. The device is expected to be the final addition to the Xiaomi 17 lineup, which currently consists of:
- Xiaomi 17
- Xiaomi 17 Pro
- Xiaomi 17 Pro Max
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is also said to be arriving later this month.
According to the leak, the Xiaomi 17S Pro will be powered by the second-generation XRING chipset, possibly named XRING 02. Just like the 15S Pro, the new model may remain exclusive to the Chinese market, with no global launch expected.
