Oppo has officially raised the bar for battery capacity in mid-range smartphones with the launch of the Oppo A7 Pro Max 5G in China. Debuting as the brand’s first phone to sport a massive 10,000mAh Glacier Battery, Oppo has timed this launch right before Xiaomi unveils its highly anticipated competitor, the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G.
While Redmi prepares for the official launch in China and global markets, the specifications of the global edition of the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max have already leaked via official-looking promo material. The Chinese variant of the Note 17 Pro Max is expected to share identical core specifications with its global counterpart, barring a potentially larger battery capacity for the Chinese market.
Here is a detailed head-to-head comparison between the Oppo A7 Pro Max and the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max to see which battery behemoth offers the better overall package.
4Camera Capabilities
- Oppo A7 Pro Max: 50MP main camera (2-axis OIS) + 2MP monochrome lens; 50MP front-facing camera with AF; 1080p video recording at 30fps.
- Redmi Note 17 Pro Max: 50MP main camera (f/1.5, 6P lens, OIS) + 8MP ultra-wide lens; 32MP front camera; 4K video recording at 30fps.
In the photography department, both phones take different approaches. The Oppo A7 Pro Max caters heavily to selfie enthusiasts with a high-resolution 50MP front camera featuring autofocus. However, its rear camera setup is limited by a secondary 2MP depth sensor and a restriction to 1080p video recording.
The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max offers a much more versatile setup, featuring a wider f/1.5 aperture on its 50MP main OIS sensor, a practical 8MP ultra-wide camera for landscape shots, and crisp 4K video recording capabilities.
Winner: Redmi Note 17 Pro Max | Includes ultra-wide camera and 4K
