Xiaomi 17 Pro Max Review – Dual Screens, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 & 7,500mAh Battery

Xiaomi has officially introduced its powerful new flagship lineup—the Xiaomi 17 series—bringing bold innovations, premium performance, and standout features to the smartphone market.

Leading the charge is the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, which debuts with two displays and an enormous 7,500mAh battery that puts rivals like the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max to shame. Both the Pro Max and the Pro model sport a unique secondary rear display, functioning as a mini screen for selfies, widgets, and even retro-style gaming when paired with Xiaomi’s official Game Boy-like case.

The Pro Max features a 2.9-in ch 120Hz rear display, while the Pro carries a 2.7-inch version.

Up front, the Pro Max boasts a 6.9-inch 120Hz main display, and the standard Pro features a 6.3-inch one, ensuring smooth visuals across the board.

Power is another headline feature. Alongside the massive 7,500mAh battery on the Pro Max and 6,300mAh on the Pro, both devices support 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. Under the hood, they pack Qualcomm’s cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, delivering next-level speed and efficiency.

Camera enthusiasts will find plenty to love, too—both the 17 Pro Max and 17 Pro carry a triple 50MP rear camera system (wide, ultra-wide, and 5x telephoto) plus a 50MP front camera, ensuring crystal-clear shots from any angle. Storage and memory options reach up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

Meanwhile, the standard Xiaomi 17 drops the rear display but still impresses with a 6.3-inch screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 50MP triple cameras, and a huge 7,000mAh battery.

For now, the Xiaomi 17 lineup is launching in China only, though an early 2026 European release is expected. Unfortunately, a US launch remains unlikely given Xiaomi’s limited market presence there.
