This is the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with its rear display
Xiaomi just confirmed that it's launching the 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max later this month in China, as it's skipping the number 16 in order to 'catch up' with Apple in terms of the naming scheme.
And now the rear of the 17 Pro Max has been outed, by none other than Xiaomi itself. The rumored rear screen is there too, and the design is identical to what was leaked a week ago.
This image was briefly used by Xiaomi's official Weibo account, before being taken down. This means it's either a mistake that it went up, or this is part of Xiaomi's teaser campaign for its upcoming flagship devices.
Speaking of which, all three should be using the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC that Qualcomm has just confirmed the name of, following some speculation over the last few weeks. While the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Pro are expected to be the same size (with the Pro having better cameras and perhaps a better screen too), the Pro Max will be a bigger Pro - Apple style.

What a pity, Xiaomi 17 Pro Max and, probably later, Air? Damn copycats, these Chinese brands and companies!
