Xiaomi 17 Pro Max has officially launched in China as part of Xiaomi’s 17 series, boasting cutting-edge features targeted at premium smartphone buyers[1][3].
It is the first Android phone to debut Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, delivering top-tier performance and efficiency[1][2][4]. The 17 Pro Max carries up to 16GB RAM and storage options reaching 1TB, ensuring seamless multitasking and ample space for files and media[1][2][4].
The device features a 6.9-inch 2K LTPO OLED display up front, while the rear includes a dedicated 2.66-inch secondary display—offering dynamic notifications, customizable wallpapers, sticky notes, and even media controls or mini-games with specific cases[1][3][5][8]. The rear display functionally matches that of the smaller Pro, differing only in size and battery capacity[1].
The quad-camera array includes a 50MP primary lens complemented by ultra-wide, telephoto, and macro modules (Leica-tuned on the Pro series), alongside a 50MP selfie camera. These configurations support AI-powered photography, advanced video recording, and low-light optimization[2][3][6].
Packed inside is a 7,500 mAh battery with support for 100W fast charging and 50W wireless charging, ensuring longevity and rapid refueling[1][2][3]. Cutting-edge connectivity options include 5G, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4[2]. The phone runs Xiaomi’s Android 16-based HyperOS 3[3].
Audio gets an upgrade, too—stereo speakers enhanced by Dolby Atmos for immersive sound experiences[2]. AI-driven optimizations deliver features like real-time translation, advanced security (facial recognition), and improved digital lifestyle integration[2].
Pricing for the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max in China begins at CNY 5,999 (≈ Rs 74,700) for the 12GB + 512GB variant, with top-end 16GB + 1TB models priced at CNY 6,999 (≈ Rs 87,200)[3]. The global release is expected early 2026, possibly around February following the early China launch (September 27, 2025)[1].
Xiaomi also revealed a retro handheld console-style protective case for the Pro models, underscoring the product’s gaming and multimedia emphasis[7].
