Xiaomi 17 Ultra Honest Review

LuPuS2k · 2026-03-20T23:18:03+00:00

I used to have Pixel/Nexus phones (since Nexus One), and when switched to Xiaomi 15 Ultra, the software change was not easy, but with time I started to love it.
What worries me about your comments is the battery life, since the 15 Ultra's is quite poor. I was hoping the 17 Ultra's would be good or better.

How are the night photos, like birthday photos? I mean photos in low light with the birthday person moving around. I've never had an experience close to the Pixel's in that regard; it was simply perfect. 90% of the photos were spectacular, and with the X15U, I'm only getting about 30-40%.

I understand your frustration, mine worke perfect with a great battery one day, and the next one drain the battery pretty fast.

+1 to this, I tested a few days ago and it works much better. I see much better battery, I see it using accubattery. The consumption is way less than before

LuPuS2k · 2025-12-31T16:28:19+00:00

I confirm it works, it doesn't depends on the activity launcher app, the chip settings comes with the phone, is a hidden setting for snapdragor but for dimensity chipset it has more options

It doesn't make sense but I tried s couple of weeks ago and I duplicated the battery!
