On January 10, 2026, reports surfaced indicating that the preliminary engineering mold of the Xiaomi 17 Air had been leaked on various social media platforms. The design of this device bears a striking resemblance to the iPhone Air, particularly with its dual - camera setup. This particular model of Xiaomi comes equipped with a horizontally - arranged camera module. Notably, it features one additional camera compared to the iPhone Air. In terms of physical dimensions, the device is impressively thin, measuring a mere 5.5mm in thickness, and it sports a 6.59 - inch screen. Nevertheless, it has been confirmed that the Xiaomi 17 Air project has been scrapped, and the device will not be making its way to the market for sale.
