Today, Xiaomi unveiled Xiaomi 17 Max, joining its already established flagship trio. What does this substantial smartphone offer?
Unlike Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, the new Xiaomi 17 Max lacks a striking display on the back, but its specifications remain flagship-level. It's powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, supported by LPDDR5x and UFS 4.1 memory. Power is provided by an 8,000 mAh battery that charges at 100W via wire, 50W via induction, and can share energy at 22.5W. The smartphone features a 6.9-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2608x1200 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 3500 nits of brightness. Below the screen is an ultrasonic fingerprint reader, and at the top of the display is a punch-hole for a 32-megapixel selfie camera (f/2.2). The Samsung Isocell HP9 main camera has a resolution of 200 megapixels, an f/1.65 aperture and optical image stabilization, while the wide-angle camera has 50 megapixels, an f/2.4 aperture and a 102-degree field of view. The third, 50-megapixel camera with optical stabilization is equipped with a 3x telephoto lens and an f/2.4 aperture. Xiaomi 17 Max has stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, an infrared transmitter, NFC and IP68/69 tightness classes. The operating system is, of course, Android 16 with the company's HyperOS 3 overlay. In China (and only there for now), the following variants are available:
- 12+256 GB - 4799 yuan, $710
- 12+512 GB - 5399 yuan, $795
- 16+256 GB - 5099 yuan, $750
