China-Exclusive Model Information
Leaks clearly suggest a China-only release. There is no confirmation for international markets. No price details are available at this moment. For reference, Xiaomi 15S Pro started at CNY 5,499. That price was for the 16GB and 512GB variant. Xiaomi 17S Pro pricing may stay in a similar range.
