On September 24th, Lei Jun posted on Weibo today discussing his feelings about car manufacturing and restarting chip manufacturing.

Lei Jun stated that the decision to build cars and restart chip manufacturing was almost made simultaneously, putting all of Xiaomi's savings accumulated in the first decade on the line. To be honest, the pressure of 'providing for both of my children to go to college at the same time' is enormous. Lei Jun sighed and realized that he didn't have such great courage back then.

At the same time, Lei Jun also shared photos taken by Xiaomi 17 ProMax. Lei Jun said that the Xiaomi 17 Pro series, codenamed "King of Backlight". The backlit capture is very strong, and the first release features very powerful sensors and LOFIC technology.

It is reported that on September 23rd, Lei Jun released multiple Weibo posts to warm up and reveal the highlights of the Xiaomi 17 series screen.

Lei Jun said that the Xiaomi 17 ProMax screen adopts revolutionary technology "superpixels", with screen clarity comparable to traditional 2K screens and power consumption reduced by 26%. He also stated that "superpixels" have broken through the bottleneck of OLED technology, and for the first time, each pixel has been replaced with three RGB sub pixels, resulting in better display effects.

It is reported that the new Xiaomi 17 series will be released at 7 pm on September 25th, and Lei Jun's sixth annual speech with the theme of "Change" will also be held that evening. At that time, the progress of Xiaomi Xuanjie chip and Xiaomi cars will be shared.
