Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing stopped hiding during a recent live broadcast in China and exposed all the four core selling points of Xiaomi Mi 17 Max: screen, image, performance, and battery life. This large-screen flagship, expected to be released this month, is positioned below the Xiaomi Mi 17 Pro Max, but directly surpasses it in many specifications. It can be called Xiaomi’s most comprehensive flagship killer this year.
Xiaomi 17 Max’s four top specs officially revealed
Screen: 6.9-inch 2K ultra-power-saving super pixel large screen
The screen used in Xiaomi Mi 17 Max is the same super pixel large screen as Xiaomi Mi 17 Pro Max, with a size of 6.9 inches. Lu Weibing emphasized during the live broadcast that this screen has 2K level delicate display effect, but the power consumption control is even lower than that of common 1.5K screens. It is equivalent to taking into account high-resolution visual enjoyment and power saving at the same time. Whether watching TV series, watching short videos or daily use, the experience is very balanced.
According to previously exposed specifications, this is an LTPO panel with a peak brightness of 3500nits and is covered with Dragonite glass to strengthen its drop and wear resistance. The four-sided ultra-narrow straight screen, the four-curved middle frame and the super-large R-angle design bring the body texture in line with the Pro series.
Image: Xiaomi’s first Leica 200 million pixel main camera
This may be the most surprising upgrade of Xiaomi Mi 17 Max. it carries The first 200-megapixel main camera jointly created by Xiaomi and Leica, using Samsung ISOCELL HP series photosensitive elements, has a 1/1.4-inch outsole, supports multi-frame fusion algorithm, and a single RAW file can reach 114.97MB, the details are so rich that it’s “clear even when zoomed in”.
Lu Weibing introduced in the live broadcast that the high-resolution shooting concept of 200 million pixels allows users to completely record the details of the picture at once during shooting, and then crop the secondary composition at will. This means that the same scene can be transformed into a variety of different compositions, which is very practical for travel and daily shooting.
In addition to the 200 million pixel main camera, Xiaomi Mi 17 Max is also equipped with 50 million pixels 3x periscope telephotoand 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, achieving full focal length coverage from ultra-wide angle to telephoto. The powerful ISP and AI computing power of the fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition also provide sufficient performance backing for computational photography functions such as multi-frame synthesis and real-time noise reduction.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi 17 Max The secondary screen design on the back has been cancelled., leaving the saved internal space for heat dissipation and battery stacking.
Performance: 5th generation Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition + triple cooling capacity
In terms of processor, Xiaomi 17 Max is equipped with Qualcomm’s latest flagship platform Fifth generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This SoC uses TSMC’s N3P process and is equipped with the third-generation Oryon CPU, which is composed of a 2+6 full-core architecture: two Prime cores with the highest 4.6GHz, six Performance cores are the highest 3.62GHz. Compared with the previous generation, single-core performance is improved by 20%, multi-core performance is improved by 17%, and overall energy efficiency is optimized by 35%.
The GPU part is equipped with Adreno 840, clocked at 1.2GHz, imported for the first time 18MB independent high-speed graphics memory (Adreno HPM), graphics performance is improved by 23%, and ray tracing capabilities are enhanced by 25%. This is also the world’s first AnTuTu breakthrough 4 million pointsAction SoC.
In terms of heat dissipation, Xiaomi 17 Max is equipped with a three-dimensional ring-shaped cold pump heat dissipation system. Lu Weibing said that the heat dissipation capacity is that of ordinary VC vapor chambers. three times. It has been measured that many heavy-duty games can still run smoothly under high-definition operation for a long time, and the temperature control is also quite good.
Battery life: 8,000mAh Jinshajiang battery, the largest in history
Battery life is undoubtedly the most exaggerated selling point of Xiaomi Mi 17 Max. It has a built-in 8,000mAh Jinshajiang Silicon Carbon Negative Single Cell Battery, is not only the battery with the largest capacity in the history of Xiaomi’s digital flagship, but also one of the imaging flagships with the largest battery capacity in the entire consumer mobile phone market.
This battery uses a silicon-carbon single-cell solution with an energy density of 894Wh/L, which is 40% more capacity than traditional graphite batteries of the same volume. The measured battery life performance is quite amazing:
- Continuously watch short videos: can support 20 hours
- “King of Glory” continuous play:Exceed 8 hours
- “Stardome Railway” high quality: 42% battery remaining after 4 hours
Charging technology: 100W fast charging + bypass power supply
The biggest concern with a large battery is slow charging, but Xiaomi Mi 17 Max makes no compromises in this regard. support 100W wired fast chargingand 50W wireless fast charging, official data shows Charge to 70% in 19 minutes, and is compatible with the 100W PPS protocol, which can maintain high-speed charging even when using a third-party charger.
What’s more worth mentioning is the full-scenario bypass charging technology. When the user is charging while playing games, the current can directly bypass the battery and directly supply power to the system, which can not only reduce battery cycle loss, but also significantly reduce the body temperature when charging and playing – a very practical design for heavy mobile gamers.
Design and positioning
Xiaomi 17 Max adopts 6.9-inch extremely narrow equilateral straight screenIt is equipped with a four-curved middle frame and an oversized R corner design, and is available in three colors: clear sky blue, white, and pixel black. It is worth noting that it canceled the back screen design that was previously speculated by the outside world, and used the saved internal space for the cooling system and battery stacking. This trade-off proved to be worthwhile in terms of 8,000mAh performance.
In the Xiaomi 17 series, Xiaomi 17 Max is positioned between Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, which can be understood as Big screen version of Xiaomi Mi 17. Due to the elimination of the back screen and slightly lower camera specifications than the Pro Max, it is able to maintain a flagship experience while offering a more competitive price.
preload ThePaper OS 4 The system is reported to have optimized functions such as split screens and floating windows for large screens. Other specs include full-featured NFC, infrared remote control, dual speakers, X-axis linear motors, and IP68/69 water and dust resistance.
For those who are interested in watching the live broadcast, the videos have also been compiled for you:
Competitive product comparison and market positioning
Based on current external estimates, approximately 5,199 yuan (approximately NT$23,400)Judging from the starting price, Xiaomi 17 Max’s direct competitors at the same price range include flagship models such as iQOO 15 Pro, vivo X200 Ultra and OPPO Find X8 Ultra.
However, Xiaomi Mi 17 Max’s differentiation strategy is clear: it does not compete with its rivals in being extremely thin and light or has the most powerful camera, but rather locks in “Big screen + huge battery + Leica imaging” golden triangle combination. In the current market, it is almost impossible to find another mobile phone with a 6.9-inch large screen, 8,000mAh battery and Leica co-branded camera. For users who travel frequently, watch TV shows for a long time, or are anxious about battery power, the appeal of this machine is self-evident.
Conclusion
Judging from Lu Weibing’s “telling the whole story” attitude in this live broadcast, Xiaomi is obviously quite confident in the product strength of 17 Max. 2K ultra-power-saving screen, Leica 200 million pixel main camera, fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition, and 8,000mAh Jinshajiang battery – none of the four highlights is complete. If the final price can really be kept at around 5,199 yuan, this large-screen flagship is likely to become Xiaomi’s dark horse in sales this year.
Of course, everything will have to wait until the official release of the official seal of approval on May 21.
