On cameras, Xiaomi continues its tie-up with Leica, bringing a triple-lens setup – a 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP telephoto with 5x zoom. The Pro Max variant goes one step further with a dual-screen design. The secondary display on the back can be used for notifications, AI features, or even turned into a mini gaming console with a case.

Xiaomi 17 Price in China (For Reference)

Here’s how the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max is priced in China:

• CNY 5,999 (approx. Rs 74,700) for 12GB + 512GB
• CNY 6,299 (approx. Rs 78,400) for 16GB + 512GB
• CNY 6,999 (approx. Rs 87,100) for 16GB + 1TB

This is still a lot cheaper than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, putting Xiaomi’s flagship in a more accessible premium range.

Xiaomi 17 India Launch Plans

For now, only the standard Xiaomi 17 has been confirmed for India. But looking at Xiaomi’s strategy, the Pro and Pro Max models could follow later. If the Pro Max makes it here, it’ll be interesting to see how it challenges Apple and Samsung in the premium space.
