With a fresh look, the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max, meanwhile, go one step further.
The smaller Xiaomi 17 Pro features a second OLED display on the rear in addition to the same 6.3-inch display as the standard model. Two of the 50MP rear cameras are encircled by the 2.66-inch display, which also has a third 50MP back camera beneath it and a 50MP selfie camera. It can be utilized with personalized themes, “Dynamic Notifications,” and sticky notes. It can also manage media controls and play games with a special case (via GSMArena). The Xiaomi 17 Pro, which starts at CNY 4,999, features a 6,300 mAh battery and up to 1TB of storage.
With its enormous 7.500 mAh battery and 6.9-inch display, the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max goes above and beyond.
The Pro Max’s rear display is identical to the smaller model’s, including the same 2.66-inch LCD and features. The screen and battery capacity are the only things that separate the two sizes. The design is even the same. The starting price of the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max is CNY 5,999.
Since the Xiaomi 15 series debuted globally in March of last year, we can presumably anticipate a global launch in February, give or take, given today’s early Xiaomi 17 launch in China. These phones will go on sale in China on September 27.
