Xiaomi 17 Pro Max hands-on review
"Xiaomi is skipping the number 16 for this year's flagships, and it's jumping straight to 17, implying that it's ready to take on the iPhone 17 series directly. Further underlining those ambitions the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are very similar to the iPhone 17 counterparts design-wise, but there's a big twist. Xiaomi's latest Pro models feature a secondary OLED screen right next to the cameras, which is undoubtedly their most eye-catching feature."
"Looking into the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max specifically, we see an updated front screen as well. The Pro Max features a 6.9-inch LTPO OLED panel with thinner, symmetrical bezels all around. It's said to be brighter than the previous lineup, but we need to complete testing the device before confirming the accuracy of those claims. The secondary display measures 2.9" and has the same 120 Hz refresh rate as the main one. Peak brightness on both is reportedly 3,500 nits, according to Xiaomi."
"The camera system gets a small update, with the main camera now featuring a slightly larger sensor, the new Light Fusion 950L developed by Xiaomi in collaboration with Leica. The 50MP 5x telephoto did get minor tweaks to the prism layout allowing a bigger 1/2" sensor. In contrast, the 50MP ultrawide unit loses the autofocus ability, for some reason. You can still get excellent macro shots with the zoom camera, though, which focuses from really close distances and is better suited for macro work anyway."
Xiaomi advanced from model 16 to the 17 series and equipped the 17 Pro Max with a conspicuous secondary OLED screen adjacent to the rear cameras. The device pairs a 6.9-inch LTPO OLED front panel with thinner symmetrical bezels and a 2.9" rear secondary display; both panels are reported to support 120 Hz and peak brightness up to 3,500 nits. The phone runs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and offers 512GB as base storage. Camera improvements include the Light Fusion 950L main sensor, a tweaked 50MP 5x telephoto with a larger sensor, and a new 50MP selfie shooter.
