Xiaomi 17 Pro Max Teased With Bold Secondary Display Design

Xiaomi is gearing up to launch its latest flagship lineup — the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max — later this month. These devices will be the first smartphones powered by Qualcomm’s brand-new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, setting the stage for what could be one of the most powerful Android phones of 2025.

In a newly released teaser video, Xiaomi has revealed the design of the upcoming 17 Pro Max. The phone features a bold boxy camera module paired with a secondary display on the back, a design choice that instantly sparks comparisons to Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max. However, Xiaomi was one of the first to experiment with this concept — dating back to the Mi 11 Ultra in 2021, which also came with a rear-facing secondary screen and a large “camera plaza.”

The teaser highlights several design cues: Leica-branded lenses, customizable widgets on the rear display, and a squared-off body that enhances its premium look. With just weeks to go before the official launch, more details about Xiaomi’s latest Pro Max flagship — including full specifications and software features — are expected to surface soon.
