Lu Weibing responded to the price of Xiaomi 17 Ultra: it will definitely increase.

In tonight's live broadcast, Lu Weibing talked about the topic of whether the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will increase in price. Lu Weibing said that from the end of 2022 to now, AI has experienced explosive growth over the past three years. According to overall judgment, 2025, 2026, and 2027 will all be points of increase in memory costs. The sharp increase in memory prices will in turn lead to a significant rise in the cost of smartphones. When the Xiaomi 15 Ultra was released earlier, the official had once stated that this was the "last time at 6499 yuan." Lu Weibing bluntly stated that at that time, memory was not fully taken into account, and the judgment was based solely on the increase in processor cost and camera configuration. The 17 Ultra has added a rise in memory costs, which is much higher than that of processors, cameras, etc. Therefore, "the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will definitely increase in price, and I think it will increase quite a lot. But compared to the rise in memory costs, I think it's still low." Lu Weibing reiterated, "No matter how much the price increases, I still want to tell everyone that it will definitely be worth it."
