Xiaomi 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max retro handheld console case key features, pricing
The Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are compatible with a retro gaming console case that attaches to the phone and transforms it into a nostalgic handheld device. Priced at Rs 299 Yuan (~$40), the case is finished in a dark skin-friendly material and recreates a classic button layout.
It comes preloaded with licensed games such as Angry Birds 2, Sky Destroyer, Furball Runner and the classic Snake. Since the games run independently, they can be played even in airplane mode without internet access.
The case connects automatically over Bluetooth, requires no complex setup, and is free from advertising interruptions. It also carries a 200mAh independent battery that can last up to 40 days, and charging is possible without removing the phone. However, when attached, the phone cannot support wireless charging.
Xiaomi 17 Pro series key features
The Xiaomi 17 Pro includes a 2.66-inch rear “MiEnjoy” screen that can show notifications, music controls, flight details, ride information, call handling, and camera previews. It even supports photography and video recording controls directly from the rear screen. On the front, the 17 Pro has a 6.3-inch display, whereas the 17 Pro Max is a larger device featuring a 6.8-inch screen.
The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and is equipped with a 6,300mAh battery supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. On the other hand, the 17 Pro Max packs a larger 7,500mAh battery and offers the same charging capabilities.
According to reports, the Xiaomi 17 and the upcoming Xiaomi 17 Ultra will be sold globally. However, the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max may remain exclusive to the Chinese market.
