"The Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max feature a second screen on the back that displays the time and notifications, can be used for selfies with the main camera, and can even run some games. Folding phones have made dual-screen designs familiar, but despite carving out a healthy niche, it's clear the folding design (and price bracket) isn't for everyone."
"The 17 series heralds an overdue design overhaul, ditching the circular camera carbuncle and switching to a rectangular lozenge with two prominent lenses on the left rising out of the touchscreen. Xiaomi calls it the Dynamic Back Display, and it's around 2.5 x 1.8 inches, but the rounded corners and camera lenses eat into the usable space."
Xiaomi overhauled its flagship design with the 17 series, replacing the circular camera module with a rectangular lozenge and introducing a rear Dynamic Back Display. The 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max include a secondary screen that shows time and notifications, can serve as a viewfinder for main-camera selfies, and can run limited interactive content such as games. The Dynamic Back Display measures about 2.5 x 1.8 inches, though rounded corners and camera lenses reduce usable area. Xiaomi tailored the back-screen functionality to specific uses like customizable clocks, animated wallpapers, and simple data readouts. The second screen provides a fresh, polished alternative to foldables, with usefulness that can be hit or miss.
