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.
