Where to buy Xiaomi 17 Max, the jewel of the series!

The Xiaomi 17 Max, the recent Xiaomi 17 Max, represents a curious experiment by the company. The flagship debuted as an exclusive for the Chinese market, about 8 months after the rest of the series (we’re still talking about China), presenting itself as the mid-year flagship.

However the Max model is a real jewel and improves the base model in unexpected ways. Not only does it offer a larger format — Max, indeed — but it is the first smartphone in Xiaomi’s regular series to have a 200 MP main sensor. In short, a noteworthy novelty and now it can be purchased by Westerners as well!

Xiaomi 17 Max: where to buy the new flagship of the series (launched exclusively in China)

The flagship is available only in Chinese version but is already purchasable through third-party stores, at 737€ (for the base 12/256 GB configuration). Remember that imported Xiaomi devices arrive with Asian software: the languages present are English and Chinese. Google services and the Play Store come preinstalled, and there are no issues regarding OTA updates.
