Igeekphone News reported on February 21st that according to blogger Digital chat Station, two new batteries under the Xiaomi brand are currently in the trial production stage. One of them has a rated capacity of 7850mAh and a typical value of 8000mAh ±.
Based on previous reports, this 8000mAh battery will be used in the Xiaomi 17 Max, making it the phone with the largest battery capacity among Xiaomi models.
Xiaomi 17 Max model will be released in the first half of the year, and is expected to debut around May.
This model is quite different from the previous Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. It has abandoned the rather distinctive back-screen design and uses the saved space to pack a larger battery capacity. It is expected to still maintain 100W wired fast charging + 50W wireless fast charging, and be compatible with the 100W PPS protocol.
In addition, the imaging system will also undergo some changes. The main camera uses the Samsung ISOCELL HP series 2-billion-pixel sensor, combined with the Sony IMX8 series 50-megapixel telephoto lens + 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, covering all focal length shooting requirements.
The camera module is expected to be similar to the standard version, with a more minimalist design. In fact, it can also be regarded as the large-screen version of Xiaomi 17.
Equipped with the 5th-generation Snapdragon 8 supreme edition, along with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage, it features top-of-the-line specifications.
In terms of price, it is expected that the Xiaomi 17 Max will be slightly higher than the standard version of Xiaomi 17, possibly on par with the Xiaomi 17 Pro. The starting price is expected to be 4,999 yuan.
