Xiaomi 17 is a small(ish) phone with a big(ish) battery

"The 17 and 17 Ultra will apparently be available soon in the UK, Europe, and select other markets. The 17 - pitched as a rival to the likes of the iPhone 17 and Samsung Galaxy S26 - will cost £899 / €999 (about $1,200), while the larger and more capable Ultra starts from £1,299 / €1,499 ($1,750)."

"The 17 is an extremely capable small-ish flagship, with a 6.3-inch OLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and large 6,330mAh silicon-carbon battery. The battery cruised past the full-day mark, though wasn't quite enough for two full days of typical usage. That's far better battery life than you'd find in similarly sized phones from Apple, Samsung, or Google."
