Forget the New iPhone, the Xiaomi 17 Series Has a Rear Screen and a Giant Battery
Xiaomi could copy the Apple name scheme for its new telephone line, but the series of phones Xiaomi 17 sculpts its own path with a large unique rear screen for its new Pro models. The Chinese phone manufacturer announced Thursday the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, the last two sporting a “dynamic back display” for widgets, notifications and – apparently – light games.
The telephone line announces just when the qualcomm flea manufacturer has unveiled its new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which feeds new phones and Xiaomi phones as the next OnePlus 15.
Base Xiaomi 17 will not include a rear screen, but it gets a large battery of 7,000 mAh.
Similar to the IPhone 17 seriesThe Xiaomi 17 and 17 Pro phones have a 6.3 -inch screen, while the Pro Max has a 6.9 inch. Basic phone Xiaomi 17 supports a 100-watts wireless load and a wireless load of 50 watts and has a 7,000 mAh battery (which is enormous, and doubles the capacity of most of the phones sold in the United States).

The display of the Xiaomi 17 can reach a maximum brightness of 3,500 nits, and its price begins at 4,499 Chinese yuan (around $ 630) for a variant with 12 GB of memory and 256 GB of storage.
The Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max have the aforementioned rear display, which extends over the width of the phone, wrapping the cameras. And speaking of cameras, the 17 pro and 17 pro Max have cameras of 50 megapixels and ultra-angles, but their telephoto lens are different. They both have 5x 50 megapixel telephoto lens cameras, but Pro Max has a larger image sensor with a faster opening.
The Pro Standard will be delivered with a battery of 6,300 mAh – always quite large even if it is smaller than the basic phone – while the Pro Max obtains an even larger battery of 7,500 mAh. The two phones will have the same load speeds as the Xiaomi 17 base, which are all much faster than we see on most of the phones sold in the United States.
