Xiaomi is reportedly gearing up to launch one of its Xiaomi 17 series smartphones in global markets in the coming weeks. According to a PhoneArena report, the global variant could feature a battery that is around 10 per cent smaller than the Chinese variant. The smartphone is also expected to debut in India alongside the global rollout. The Xiaomi 17 series was introduced in China in September. Apart from the battery and storage change, the global version is likely to retain most of the same specifications. Here’s what we can expect:
