FULL STORY ======================================================================The Xiaomi 17 series has been unveiled, with the Pro models having two screens
The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max has a massive 7,500mAh battery All three phones have a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset
Hot on the heels of its mid-range Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro launch , Xiaomi has just announced its new flagships in the form of the Xiaomi 17 series, and these phones have a lot of eye-catching specs.
The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max is the top model, and the most interesting one, with both this and the Xiaomi 17 Pro having a second display on the back, which looks a bit like a smaller version of the cover screen on the Samsung Galaxy
Z Flip 7 .
This second screen can be used to frame selfies taken with the rear cameras, display widgets from apps, and even play games if paired with an official Game Boy-like case.
In the case of the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max this is a 2.9-inch screen, while the Xiaomi 17 Pro has a 2.7-inch one, and they both have a 120Hz refresh rate.
As for their main displays, the Xiaomi 17 Pro has a 6.3-inch one and the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max has a 6.9-inch one, and both again have a 120Hz refresh rate.

Another highlight of these phones though is their battery capacities, with
the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max having a frankly ridiculous 7,500mAh capacity, and the Xiaomi 17 Pro having a 6,300mAh battery. For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has just a 5,000mAh battery and the iPhone 17 Pro Max has a
5,088mAh one (or 4,832mAh outside the US).
Both phones charge at 100W or 50W if using wireless charging, and both have
a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset , which is Qualcomms brand-new flagship chipset, and should make these handsets more powerful than any currently available Android phones.
They also both have a trio of 50MP cameras on the back, including wide, ultra-wide, and 5x telephoto options, along with a 50MP camera on the front. Plus theres up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage in both phones.
The base Xiaomi 17 is a little less interesting as it doesnt have a second screen, but you still get a 6.3-inch main display, a 50MP triple-lens camera, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, and a huge 7,000mAh battery.
These phones are so far only launching in China, but wed expect that one or more of them will land in Europe early next year though a US release is very unlikely, as Xiaomi doesnt have much of a presence there.
