Xiaomi has officially teased its upcoming 17 Pro Max, confirming a key design feature that sets it apart from other flagships: a secondary display on the rear. This move is part of a larger strategy to challenge the premium market, with the company skipping the number 16 in its lineup to directly compete with Apple’s iPhone 17 series.
The “Magic Back Screen”
The Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max will feature a secondary rear display, which the company is calling the “Magic Back Screen.” This screen is integrated into the phone’s camera island and is designed to provide quick access to information and photography features.
Its confirmed functionalities include:
- Displaying the time and notifications.
- Serving as a camera viewfinder for taking selfies with the more powerful rear cameras.
Performance and Key Specs
The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max will be a performance-focused device. Key rumored specifications include:
- Processor: The new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
- Battery: A massive 7,500mAh battery.
- Design: The prominent rear camera island with the integrated display is the most notable design element.
Is the “Magic Back Screen” a useful innovation or a gimmick?
