Xiaomi 17 Pro Max battery life and charging test results

29 October 2025
One of the best battery scores around.

Sort by:

Charges faster than an S25 Ultra with 50% larger battery

    This is the most gimmicky smartphone launch of this year. They just did this for attention and shock value. It serves no use whatsoever except as an extra drain on your battery and an extra point of failure.

      Samsung and apple in serious trouble. Their greed wins hopefully people wake up and start boycotting their overpriced 2020 standards hardware.

              The gaming result in particular seems to be relatively poor, notably slightly less than the iPhone despite having over 50% more battery capacity. That could be optimisation at play given how new the 8 Elite Gen 5 is, it could also be that this new chipset uses much more power than the A19 Pro (which isn't a problem if it turns out to perform like it) or it could be the TCL OLED display (which notably is not a pentile-like layout) isn't as efficient as we hoped.

                Are they going to ship this outside China? It has no meaning otherwise

                  It doesn't matter how great Xiaomi becomes if outside China and a few other Asian countries, you either cannot find it or it is 2x the price of a flagship iPhone or Samsung.

                          is it so unreasonable to want to see if a phone will charge quickly using regular charging bricks or power banks?

                            Anonymous, 28 Oct 2025JUST like Apple 🤣🤣 but Apple use Apple modem.Wrong only the air does, the 17, 17 pro and pro max use a Qualcomm modem
