The Xiaomi 17 Max is making headlines again, this time for a regulatory filing in China. A new Xiaomi device with the model number 2605EPN8EC has passed China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology SRRC certification.
While the certification doesn’t confirm any specification except its connectivity (5G / WLAN / Bluetooth), it usually means that a launch isn’t too far away.
Based on earlier leaks, this device is widely believed to be the Xiaomi 17 Max, though some sources have referred to it as the Xiaomi 17S Pro. Either way, it’s a large-screen option in the company’s 17 series lineup.
The model number also hints at Xiaomi’s internal timeline. It suggests a release window around April or May, which lines up with previous reports of a May debut in China.
What to expect?
According to previous reports, the Xiaomi 17 Max could feature a 6.9-inch flat OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and narrow bezels on all sides. The hardware will be led by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.
Its camera specs are likely to include a 200-megapixel main sensor, paired with a 50-megapixel telephoto macro lens. It will also have a 50MP ultrawide lens. These specs are similar in comparison to the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, but the latter also has a secondary display on the rear. The Xiaomi 17 Max is rumored to skip that.
Other rumored features include symmetrical dual speakers, an X-axis linear motor, and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The device may also introduce a new silicon-based battery with a capacity starting in the 8,000mAh range, along with full water resistance and a metal frame. The overall design is said to follow a clean, minimalist approach.
