Editorial

Xiaomi created the Pro and Pro Max models this year to declare focus on Apple's market share. And rightfully so as Xiaomi 17 Pro Max does everything as well as iPhone 17 Pro Max except telephoto pics and overall video recording. To make up for it, Xiaomi's Pro Max has better endurance then iPhone 17 Pro Max (and lasts much longer then S26U), faster charging, brighter screen and of course: a second display that can even be used as a gaming platform (with optional attachment). Ironically, there is an excellent new selfie camera on a phone that can use the superior back cameras for amazing selfies.

PROs
great built, great SD 8 Elite Gen 5 with UFS 4.1 performance (with throttling under very high loads), 48hr endurance from a 7500mAh Si-C battery with sub-40min 100W (50W wireless) charging. 2 LTPO AMOLED screens with >2000Hz PWM dimming and both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ certification. IP68 protection (down to 6m for 30min). great imaging from 50MP OIS 23mm main + 50MP 17mm ultrawide (both with PDAF), excellent 50MP 21mm PDAF selfie, 6 years of OS updates, fast USB-C 3.2 port with Display Out tech for screen sharing with PCs and Macs
CONs
limited to China market, okay performance from the new 50MP 115mm OIS PDAF periscope telephoto (worse at night) and 17mm ultrawide camera is not really "ultra" wide, no expandable memory, Harmony OS is not everyone's cup of tea, no desktop replacement functionality
