Xiaomi showcased the Xiaomi 17 Max's capabilities ahead of its launch event, showing that the new phone lasted 33.3 hours with the screen on continuously while streaming in an endurance test.
According to the results of the cellphone usage test for video playback uploaded by Xiaomi on Weibo showed that the durability of the Xiaomi 17 Max was superior to the combination of two iPhone 17 Pro Max under the same conditions.
Durability tests conducted by manufacturers must of course be treated with caution because manufacturers usually show excessive demonstrations.
However, even taking into account the attempts to exaggerate the product's advantages, the results of the Xiaomi 17 Max battery life test still look extraordinary.
The reason is, the Xiaomi 17 Max is Xiaomi's first phone to be equipped with an 8,000mAh battery, which is quite large for a flagship phone.
If the company manages to fit a large battery without making the phone too heavy or bulky, the Xiaomi 17 Max could be a standout among 2026 flagship Android phones in the Chinese and European markets.
