Overview
- Xiaomi’s 17 lineup—17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max—has launched in China, with global availability reported to be a few months away and the Pro Max limited to the domestic market for now.
- The Pro Max’s rear panel is a roughly 2.9-inch LTPO OLED at 120 Hz that peaks around 3,500 nits and serves effectively as a main‑camera viewfinder.
- Hands-on testing notes that HyperOS 3 on Android 16 permits third‑party rear‑screen apps only from Chinese sources at present.
- Key Pro Max specs include the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 6.9-inch 120 Hz main display, Leica‑branded triple 50 MP cameras with a 5x periscope, and a 7,500 mAh battery with 100 W wired, 50 W wireless and 22.5 W reverse charging.
- Xiaomi India’s CMO says a local release is planned for Q1 2026, with coverage expecting a February 15–28 window, and China pricing starts at CNY 5,999 for the 12 GB/512 GB model.
