Turn the Xiaomi 17 Pro into a Game Boy: an unusual accessory has been released for the new flagship that creatively unlocks the potential of the extra display
Yesterday was the presentation of the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max announced - additional screen, powerful processor, huge battery. The base model with all its characteristics did not cause surprise, unlike the Pro and Pro Max, which are equipped with an additional display built into the camera unit.
Here's What We Know
The manufacturer has provided a lot of opportunities for using the small screen: it displays general information, messages, stylish widgets, clocks and much more. But Xiaomi knows how to surprise and another interesting feature of the 17 Pro became known.
The Chinese company has released an unusual accessory - Retro Handheld Console Case. In fact, it is a case with additional buttons on the back of the smartphone, which give it the look of an old game console of the 80-90's, and allows you to control games, the image of which is displayed on the rear display. For now, the selection of games is limited to pre-installed Angry Birds, Sky Destroyer, Furball Runner and classic Snake, but the catalogue will expand in the future.
The accessory is visually similar to the iconic Game Boy and features four buttons, a circular D-pad and a 200mAh battery, which the company claims will last for 40 days with three hours of daily play.
The Xiaomi 17 Pro's large cameras somewhat interfere with comfortable gameplay, but one can't ignore the creativity of Chinese designers.
The Retro Handheld Console Case is priced at around $40 (converted from yuan)
