Xiaomi is expanding its popular Redmi Note lineup with a new high-end model launching in Malaysia on August 18. The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max will headline the global series.
The new smartphone will sit above the Redmi Note 17 and Redmi Note 17 Pro. Notably, Xiaomi will use the “Pro Max” name in the Redmi Note series for the first time.
Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Brings Huge Battery
The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max will feature a silicon-carbon battery with a capacity of up to 10,000mAh. Xiaomi has confirmed the battery capacity ahead of the smartphone’s launch.
Silicon-carbon technology can deliver higher capacity within a relatively compact smartphone design. As a result, the new device could offer impressive battery endurance.
The 10,000mAh battery would also set a new record for the Redmi Note series. It would become the largest battery ever included in a Redmi Note smartphone.
