By The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max has gone global, arriving as Xiaomi’s first smartphone to feature a 10,000mAh battery.
Xiaomi paired the record-sized battery with 100W wired charging, aiming to address both endurance and top-up speed in one device.
The August 27 global launch also introduced the standard Redmi Note 17 and Redmi Note 17 Pro alongside the flagship-adjacent Pro Max.
An India launch date has not been officially set, though earlier reports point to a September 15 unveiling for the Pro and Pro Max models locally.
Internationally, the base 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant of the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max starts at JPY 79,980, roughly Rs 48,000.
