If you want a maxed-out flagship and don’t care about sleek designs or an over-the-top camera system, check out the Xiaomi 17 Max.
The Xiaomi 17 Max is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor other flagships have, with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, and 512GB of UFS 4.1.
What makes it special is the enormous 8,000mAh silicone-carbon battery, which lasts for up to 1,600 charging cycles or about 4 years of normal usage.
That’s been aptly paired with 100W wired charging and 22.5W reverse wired charging. It also boasts fast 50W wireless charging.
On the front, there’s an enormous 6.9-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 32-megapixel selfie camera on top.
At the back, there’s a 200-megapixel main sensor, joined by a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide. It ships with Android 16-based HyperOS 3.
The Xiaomi 17 Max has a starting price of CNY4,799 (~Php43,300) in China.
