Summary
The REDMI Note 17 Pro Max 5G is an upper-midrange smartphone focused on exceptional battery life, durability and multimedia use. Its global version combines a huge 10000mAh battery with 100W charging, a bright 1.5K AMOLED display, strong ingress protection and Gorilla Glass Victus 2. It also offers stabilized photography, 4K video, Wi-Fi 6 and fast UFS 4.1 storage.
