Xiaomi has officially unveiled the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G in Japan. It’s the first Pro Max model in the Redmi Note lineup ever, and also the first Xiaomi smartphone to pack a massive 10,000mAh battery.
The said 10,000mAh battery is built on silicon-carbon battery technology. Xiaomi says it lasts up to three days on normal use, and supports 100W wired charging that can refill a full day’s charge in just 20 minutes.
Xiaomi also claims the battery keeps more than 80% of its capacity after 1,600 charge cycles, which is about six years of use. The phone can also charge other devices through wired reverse charging, at up to 27W.
The device is made durable too. It uses what Xiaomi calls its “Redmi Titan Structure,” carrying IP66 and IP68 ratings and a 72-hour underwater test at 2 meters, verified by TÜV SÜD. You even get a dedicated water mode for shooting photos underwater. Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 covers the display, and SGS has certified it to survive drops from up to 3 meters.
Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Specifications
The display is 6.83 inches, with 1.5K resolution, up to 3,500 nits of peak brightness, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 3,200Hz touch sampling rate. It also has TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue light and flicker-free modes.
Inside, the phone runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chip, with up to 16GB of RAM through memory expansion. The software side is handled by HyperOS 3 with AI features like offline AI translation and real-time speech transcription. You also get six years of security updates and four OS upgrades.
On the camera side, you’re looking at a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization, plus an 8MP ultra-wide camera on the back. The front camera comes in at 32MP.
The phone comes in three colors: black, purple, and Cloud Blush. The Cloud Blush version uses photochromic technology, which changes its color from white to pinkish-orange in sunlight. The black and purple versions measure about 78.27 x 163.44 x 8.65mm, and the Cloud Blush version is slightly thinner at 8.57mm. All three weigh about 229.5g.
