Chinese tech giant Xiaomi dominated this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, presenting a comprehensive development strategy based on the synergy of mobile photography and electromobility. The centerpiece of the announcements was the launch of the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra smartphones. These devices, developed in partnership with the legendary brand Leica, aim to revolutionize the cameraphone market with advanced sensors and next-generation optics. The Ultra model places particular emphasis on night photography and unprecedented zoom range, posing a direct challenge to the dominance of the iPhone 17 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S26. Xiaomi, founded in 2010, has evolved from a budget phone manufacturer to a tech conglomerate competing with Apple in the premium segment and developing its own electric vehicles.A complete surprise for the automotive and tech industries was the unveiling of the Xiaomi Vision GT. This is an electric hypercar, designed jointly with the creators of the iconic Gran Turismo video game series. The vehicle not only exists as a physical prototype showcasing the brand's engineering capabilities but will also be available as a playable model in the virtual racing simulator. This move is interpreted as an attempt to build a modern and luxurious brand image, which could help the conglomerate stabilize its stock price after recent market fluctuations. Xiaomi's product offensive was not limited to flagships and automotive. The Pad 8 and Pad 8 Pro tablets debuted in Polish distribution, offering premium-class performance at competitive prices. The manufacturer also presented the Xiaomi Watch with WearOS, which stands out with a claimed six-day battery life, a rarity in the smartwatch segment with a full operating system. The new portfolio is complemented by accessories such as the Xiaomi Tag locator and electric scooters from the Scooter 6 Ultra series, confirming the ambition to create a fully closed ecosystem of digital and transportation devices under one brand. „The 17 Series is not just about smartphones; it is a symbol of our pursuit of excellence in every aspect of technology, from the camera lens to the electric drivetrain.” — Xiaomi representative
