I've Used the Wild Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, and Its Rear Screen Sure Is Something

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-05 04:00:00

There's no escaping that the new Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max have a lot in common with Apple's latest iPhones. The naming conventions, for one thing: Xiaomi conveniently skipped a 16th version of its phones and went straight to calling its new one No. 17. To keep pace with Apple? I couldn't possibly say. Then there's the design, with a rear bar that stretches across the top of the phone's back, much like the camera plateau on Apple's iPhone 17 Pro. Except that Xiaomi's bar is something radically

That doesn’t mean Xiaomi’s products can’t stand out on their own, but it happens a little too often to be a coincidence. This week, Xiaomi presented its latest global product launche
