Lu Weibing confirmed that Xiaomi 17 Ultra will increase in price, stating that the pricing pressure is very high.

Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing recently stated in a live interactive event that the new flagship model Xiaomi 17 Ultra will see a price increase. Regarding the impact of the soaring memory prices on the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Lu Weibing said, "This is a problem that has been bothering me recently." He mentioned that in the past three years, AI has experienced explosive growth, causing a lot of production capacity to be allocated to HPC. Previously, smartphones were the main demand for memory, but now the demand for high-performance computing power has exceeded that of smartphones. "In fact, there has been no additional production capacity in recent years, and output may not be available until the end of 2027."
