- In terms of design, the handsets measure about 8 mm thick and weigh ~ 192g. Available colors: Black, Cold Smoke Purple, Forest Green, White.

🔍 What This Means for Global / Indian Buyers – Xiaomi 17 Pro Max
- Delayed launch outside China
Xiaomi often brings flagship series to India later, sometimes with local tweaks. So expect these to arrive months after this Chinese debut. - Premium pricing in India
Add import duties, GST, distributer margins, and you could be looking at a significant markup (20–30%+). - Local support & features
Leica tuning, software updates, service network, and features like UWB and back-display may play differently depending on region. - Competition at that price range
Once priced for India, they’ll compete with Samsung’s Galaxy S series, OnePlus, Vivo, etc. Xiaomi will need standout features (camera, battery, software) to differentiate. - Use case for back display & hyper features
The secondary display is a neat gimmick — great for power users or those into customization and novelty features, less for casual users.
