XIAOMI 17 Pro Max 6.9'' 12GB RAM 512GB ROM Android 16 Dual SIM, China Version, No Google Services - Black

The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max sits on top of the lineup, at least for now, until the Xiaomi 17 Ultra comes out, and is built around a 6.9-inch LTPO OLED display. That's a slight bump from the 6.73-inch screen on the Xiaomi 15 Pro last year.

Xiaomi is trying something bold with its flagship series, and it's slapping a secondary display on the back. It's again LTPO OLED with the same refresh rate and high-end features, but in a 2.9-inch diagonal. It's definitely something that sets the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max apart and spices up the flagship segment.

Xiaomi itself has a phone with a secondary display in its portfolio - the Xiaomi 11 Ultra. However, the display at the time was smaller and much less functional, whereas the 17 Pro Max offers a more polished design and a handful of cool features that make the display much more useful.

Another highlight feature is the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. That made the Xiaomi 17 Series the first phones in the world to run Qualcomm's latest and greatest silicon at the time of their launch. As always, it promises not just performance improvements but better efficiency, too.

The main camera gets a smaller aperture, but a bigger and newer Light Fusion 950L sensor. The 5x telephoto camera also swaps out the sensor for a bigger one, thanks to a new prism layout. Perhaps the most notable change in the camera hardware is the selfie unit. It's now 50MP with AF - a well overdue update.

The battery receives a substantial upgrade and now holds a mind-boggling 7,500 mAh capacity. The 17 Pro Max makes no compromises, supporting 100W fast wired charging and 50W wireless charging, both over Xiaomi's proprietary HyperCharge standard.
