Overview
- Xiaomi officially announced the 17 Max in China on May 21 with a 6.9‑inch LTPO OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, up to 16GB RAM and HyperOS 3 on Android 16.
- The phone centers on an 8,000 mAh Si/C battery that Xiaomi says can deliver more than two days of normal use and retain about 80% capacity after 1,600 cycles to extend its usable life.
- Imaging is led by a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP9 main sensor with OIS plus two 50MP Leica‑tuned lenses for ultrawide and periscope telephoto shots.
- Xiaomi lists 100W wired charging and 22.5W reverse wired charging in official specs, but reporting conflicts over wireless charging remain unresolved in the coverage.
- The 17 Max is on pre‑order in China with prices from CNY4,799 to CNY5,799 and Xiaomi plans a May 28 global event for related T‑series phones that could update international availability.
