Xiaomi 17 Pro Max stands out in the 17 series with its huge 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, triple 50MP Leica cameras, and a big 7,500mAh battery. Here’s the thing for buyers in India: Xiaomi hasn’t announced when, or even if, this phone will launch there. So, any “price in India” you see floating around is just an estimate, based on what it costs in China and current exchange rates.

OVERVIEW: Xiaomi 17 Pro Max
Design and Display
The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max has an aluminum frame, a glass face shielded by Xiaomi Dragon Crystal Glass 3, and an IP68 classification for water and dust protection (up to 6 meters for 30 minutes, according to the listing). With dimensions of 162.9 × 77.6 × 8.0 mm and 219g, it clearly falls into the “big flagship” category. Black, White, Purple, and Green are among the color possibilities displayed.
The display stands out right away. It’s a huge 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED panel, super smooth at 120Hz, and supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HDR Vivid—basically, it covers all the bases for color and contrast. It even manages a crazy-high 3500 nits of brightness, so glare isn’t much of a problem. The 2160 Hz PWM dimming keeps things easy on your eyes, too. On the back, there’s a smaller 2.9-inch LTPO AMOLED screen—also 120Hz and rocking the same HDR formats. That one’s perfect for snapping selfies or quick interactions when you don’t want to flip the phone around. The main display is sharp, too, at 1200 x 2608 pixels (about 416 pixels per inch).
Camera
You get three 50MP Leica cameras on the back: a 50MP wide with OIS, a 50MP 5x periscope telephoto with OIS, and a 50MP ultrawide with PDAF. There’s also laser autofocus, a color spectrum sensor, Leica lens branding, and a dual-LED dual-tone flash packed in. For video, you can shoot 8K at 30fps with HDR, or go up to 4K at 120fps. Plus, you get advanced HDR formats like 10-bit Dolby Vision HDR and 10-bit LOG.
For selfies, you get a 50MP front camera with PDAF. It shoots up to 4K at 60fps, supports HDR10+, and comes with gyro-EIS for extra stability. According to The Indian Express, the Xiaomi 17 series packs Leica-tuned triple cameras across the board, and the telephoto lens even offers 5x optical zoom. Image quality will come down to how Xiaomi handles processing in HyperOS 3 and the Leica profiles, but the hardware itself screams flagship — especially if you care about zoom and steady shots.
Performance
Xiaomi’s 17 Pro Max comes packed with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip (built on 3nm tech) and an Adreno 840 GPU. Out of the box, you get Android 16 with HyperOS 3 layered on top. According to GSMArena, you can choose between three storage options: 512GB with 12GB RAM, 512GB with 16GB RAM, or really go big with 1TB and 16GB RAM. It uses UFS 4.1 storage, but there’s no microSD slot, so what you pick is what you get.
The battery comes in at 7,500mAh (Si/C Li-Ion), which is huge for a mainstream flagship. If the software does its job, you’re looking at some serious battery life here. Charging isn’t a slouch either: you get 100W wired with support for PD3.0, QC, and PPS, 50W wireless charging, and 22.5W reverse wireless charging. The Indian Express points out that the Pro Max also packs this 7,500mAh battery and runs HyperOS 3 on Android 16, backing up everything about its platform and battery claims.
Connectivity
You get full network support here: 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G, plus dual Nano-SIM slots. On the wireless side, it comes with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC. There’s also an IR blaster, USB-C 3.2 that works with DisplayPort, and Ultra Wideband (UWB). For navigation, it covers pretty much everything—multi-system GNSS like GPS (L1+L5), NavIC (L5), Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS, and BeiDou. Security’s handled by an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and you still get the usual sensors: a gyro, compass, and barometer. When it comes to sound, there are stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, but no 3.5mm headphone jack.
Price in India
In China, the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max starts at 5,999 yuan—that’s about Rs 74,500, according to the Indian Express. But there’s still no word from Xiaomi on if or when these phones will hit the Indian market. The report mentions an “about 720 EUR” price, but that’s just a rough estimate, not an official price for India. If Xiaomi decides to launch it here, the actual cost depends on things like import fees, taxes, and whether they stick it under the regular Xiaomi lineup or the premium “Ultra” label. Right now, there’s no confirmation on any of this.
