Xiaomi has released the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max worldwide, featuring a massive 10,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, though European units get a slightly smaller 9,210mAh version. The device supports 100W wired charging, promising a full charge in 80 minutes and all-day power from just a 20-minute top-up, plus 27W reverse charging but no wireless option. It also boasts rugged durability with IP68/IP69/IP69K ratings and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, though it runs a downgraded Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chip compared to its predecessor.
