The fourth member of the Xiaomi 17 series is here, and it brings the Max moniker. The Xiaomi 17 Max is the less flashy brother of the 17 Pro Max, ditching the secondary rear screen in favor of a higher resolution 200MP main cam, while it also has a larger 8,000 mAh Si/C battery.

According to Xiaomi, the 17 Max should be good for more than 2 days of normal use and the battery is rated to retain up to 80% charge even after 1,600 charging cycles, which is over 4 years of daily use. When you need to recharge, you can do it via cable at up to 100W and wirelessly at up to 50W. The 17 Max can also provide up to 22.5W reverse wired charging for other devices.

Under the hood, the 17 Max is equipped with Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage.
