Ahead of its formal debut in the near future, Xiaomi is showing off the new Xiaomi 17 Pro, which has an iPhone-like camera bar on the back, but uses that real estate for a rear display.<\/p>\n

In a post on Weibo<\/a>, Xiaomi shares a brief video that shows the Xiaomi 17 Pro. At first, the phone is shown with a sectioned design that features a section along the top that includes the cameras. It\u2019s not quite a Pixel-like \u201cCamera Bar,\u201d but rather more similar to Apple\u2019s iPhone 17 Pro redesign.<\/p>\n

The twist, though, is that the raised camera area doubles as a secondary display. <\/p>\n

The Xiaomi 17\u2019s rear display is only shown briefly, but we can see that it can show a clock, images, and at least one type of widget. One of the views also seems to show the display being used as a camera viewfinder, which seems like the most obvious feature to add. The full capabilities will likely be shown in later teasers and, eventually, the full reveal. <\/p>\n

Xiaomi refers to this as the \u201cMagic Back Screen\u201d in the translated post.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra had its own rear display<\/a> which was capable of acting as a viewfinder, clock, and as a way to see notifications while the phone was flipped over. It stands to reason we\u2019ll see similar functionality this time around, though the new display looks a lot larger than the 1.1-inch panel used last time around. Similar to the Motorola Razr and Galaxy Z Flip 7, the display gets right up to the cameras and wraps around.<\/p>\n

Xiaomi previously shared a sharper image of the rear display on the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, as pictured below (via GSMArena<\/a>), but has since removed it.<\/p>\n

What do you think of this rear display?<\/p>\n

Xiaomi 17 will launch later this month<\/a> and will be one of the first phones using Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n
