Forget the iPhone 17, the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max has an extra screen and a huge battery

Xiaomi's newest flagship looks totally bonkers in a way Apple can't match, but U.S. customers don't need to worry about it.

This new ultra-powerful flagship has a cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and a massive 7,500mAh battery, but the real selling point is that there's a second display on the camera plateau itself on the phone's backside. That little 2.9-inch display has a 120Hz refresh rate and can be used to calibrate selfies taken from the rear camera, interact with apps, or even to play mobile games. Alex has spent most of the last decade reviewing games, smartphones, headphones, and laptops, and he doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon.
