Xiaomi 17 Max: Key highlights of new flagship officially revealed

The Xiaomi 17 Max is set to launch in May in China. Ahead of the launch, the company has confirmed some key details of the new flagship device. One of the main highlights of the phone is its large 6.9-inch screen. The company has revealed that it will feature a similar display to the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max.

For context, the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max uses an OLED panel supplied by TCL CSOT. It comes with a resolution of 1,200 x 2,608 pixels and supports a refresh rate of 120Hz. Other display features include HDR10+, Dolby Vision, a peak brightness of 3,500 nits, and high-frequency PWM dimming at 2,160Hz.

The Xiaomi 17 Max is confirmed to feature Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. This is the same chipset that powers other models in the lineup, including the Xiaomi 17 Ultra.

While the entire lineup uses a 50MP primary camera, the Xiaomi 17 Max will feature a 200MP main camera. It will also feature a periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and Leica tuning.

Notably, the device packs the largest battery in the lineup with an 8,000mAh capacity. There is no official word on the global availability of the phone. However, a recent leak suggested that Xiaomi could introduce the smartphone in markets outside China.
