Xiaomi will launch its new flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi 17 Max, in China on May 21, 2026, at 7:00 PM local time. Ahead of the official launch event, the company has been sharing key details about the device through its official channels, and recently released a battery endurance test comparing it to Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max.
In the test, both phones were put through typical heavy daily use. The iPhone 17 Pro Max ran for around 16 hours before its battery was fully drained. At that same point in the test, the Xiaomi 17 Max still had more than 50% battery left.
Xiaomi also ran a longer comparison: it used two fully charged iPhone 17 Pro Max devices one after the other. Combined, the two iPhones lasted 32 hours. The Xiaomi 17 Max, on a single full charge, managed 33.3 hours of use.
- Two iPhone 17 Pro Max: 32 hours (runs consecutively)
- Xiaomi 17 Max: 33.3 hours
The Xiaomi 17 Max comes with an 8,000mAh Jinshajiang silicon-carbon battery, and supports 100W fast charging. These specifications match details shared ahead of the official announcement. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to have a 4,823mAh battery, with support for 40W fast charging.
The comparison video was uploaded to its official Weibo page, where anyone can watch the full comparison and see how each phone performed in real time.
Pre-orders for the Xiaomi 17 Max are now open through Xiaomi’s official online store in China. Customers who reserve the device early can get special benefits. Alongside the phone, Xiaomi will also launch the Band 10 Pro and other new products on May 21, the company confirmed.
