The Xiaomi 17 Max has officially launched starting at 4,299 CNY (~$593 USD)

This is a comprehensive upgrade over the Xiaomi 17, yet the price only increased by 300 CNY (~$41 USD).

The Xiaomi 17 Max isn't simply a larger-screen variant-​​it packs an 8,000mAh battery, the highest capacity ever seen in a Xiaomi flagship. It also features the first Leica 200MP main camera, and the display panel is carried over directly from the Pro Max.

Given these upgrades, a 300 CNY price increase is still remarkably affordable-​especially in the current climate where RAM and component costs continue to rise.

Switching to Xiaomi 17 Ultra from iPhone

I’m planning to move to 17 Ultra after spending years with iPhone ecosystem. Mainly because of the camera. Anyone has similar experience?

Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G notification issues

Hello all.

First of all, I'm a Redmi Note user since the Pro 3, so I've experienced some issues with notifications, but not this big.

I was configuring my S.O.'s new smartphone, and some of the notifications get through no problem (WhatsApp), other I can't get for the life of me (GMail).

Device: Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G, bought on the official Xiaomi store for my region (Italy).

OS: updated to HyperOS latest available (3.0.4.0.WOPEUXM) as soon as bought, then factory reset. Android 16 BPA2A.250605.031.A3

GMail latest (2026.05.04.911572269.Release)

  • Can't find GMail among the apps in the Autostart list (on by default?)
  • All notifications allowed
  • App is running and padlocked (won't be closed when closing all apps with the "X" button)
  • Energy management (or whatever it's called in English) set to "No restrictions"
  • Background data usage allowed
  • All auto-sync settings checked
  • When I try to send a mail from another account, if I'm in the Google Auto-sync page, I can see that it syncs correctly ("last synchronization: hh:mm"), so it's not a sync issue, but no notification gets through
  • Tried clearing cache & data in the GMail app, tried restarting, no dice.

I probably forgot more things that I did / checked, but that's the gist of it.

Thoughts? T.i.A.

Xiaomi interconnectivity doesn't work

I have Redmi note 15 5g and mi pad 6 and I tried everything to connect them both but they can't find each other, I have also Redmi pad pro at home and still the phone didn't find it, it just sees the Redmi watch 5 lite

The Xiaomi 17 Max’s battery life can outlast the combined endurance of two iPhone 17 Pro Max devices.

Stupid phone thinks he can rest in peace

Redmi note 7... Apparently you can hook up any random battery to that thing and it'll work. I recommend more people do this to restore data from a phone than to replace the whole battery

screen issues noticed since last device update

Last night, I was using my Redmi N13P+ 5G when the screen suddenly went off. The power button wouldn’t turn it back on, and plugging in the charger didn’t help either, so I knew there was a serious problem. I was sure it wasn’t the battery because the phone was charged while I was using it, but just to be certain, I dialed the number from another device. The phone rang even though the screen was still dead. I answered the call (muscle memory), and I could hear my voice from the other device.

I left the phone for about an hour and came back to find it flashing like it is in the video. This same thing happened on April 9, two days after I updated the software to HyperOS 3.0.3.0 (the update that brought the Xiaomi HyperIsland feature). After it stopped back then, the phone returned to normal for a long time, so I thought the bug was gone.

I’ve never dropped the phone, slept on it, or dipped it in water (even though it’s advertised as waterproof), so I want to believe this issue is related to the HyperOS update. I’m really bothered about this problem. Please, what can I do?

Xiaomi 17 Ultra - Camera Issue. Ultrawide lens goes black & screen flickers on macro/close-up

​Hey everyone, ​I just got my Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and unfortunately, on just my second day of using it, I’ve run into a really frustrating camera bug/hardware issue. ​Here is what’s happening: ​Ultrawide Lens (0.6x): Whenever I switch to 0.6x, the screen goes almost completely black. It’s barely capturing any light or image at all. ​Main/Telephoto Lenses: The other lenses seem to work fine, but there's another catch. Whenever I bring an object close to the camera (trying to focus on something nearby), the screen starts flickering intensely. ​I’ve tried restarting the phone and clearing the camera app cache, but nothing changed. Is anyone else experiencing this with their 17 Ultra? Do you think this is a widespread software bug with the new launch, or did I just get a defective unit? ​Any advice or feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

I used the Super moon option. It might look better on a full moon tho.

The 14T Pro was perfect. The 15T Pro broke my trust. The 17T Pro leak feels like Xiaomi finally said sorry. Am I crazy or did charging speed actually change your psychology?

I’ve been modding this sub long enough to know when Xiaomi is cooking and when they’re coasting. But I need to know if I’m alone in this or if the T Series charging rollercoaster actually rewired your brain.

But here’s the real question did this actually mess with your head?

I’m not asking for spec sheet debates. I want to know if anyone else developed what I call "charge anxiety reversal."

  • 14T Pro owners: Did having 120W + 50W wireless feel like the perfect combo? Did you actually stop charging overnight?

  • 15T Pro owners: Be brutally honest. Did dropping from 120W to 90W bother you in daily life, or did the bigger battery make you forgive it?

  • Samsung / iPhone converts: Did anyone here switch to a T Series specifically because you were tired of 60W or 40W? What was that first 120W experience like?

  • The psychology part: Do you think fast charging genuinely eliminates "charge anxiety," or have we just become spoiled? I borrowed a family member’s iPhone 17 Pro for a weekend and at 20% I felt actual panic because I knew 40W wasn’t going to save me before I left the house. Is that a real thing or do I need therapy?

TL;DR: 14T Pro was peak T Series charging (120W + 50W wireless). 15T Pro sacrificed speed for 500mAh more. 17T Pro leaks suggest 100W + 50W wireless + 7000mAh a deliberate correction, not just an upgrade. I want your specific, weird, daily-habit stories. The more unhinged, the better.

Also, if you have your own charge-time benchmarks (GSMArena-style testing), drop them. I’m building a community-sourced data table from real users, not just review sites.

Is this a new charging design?

The battery icon updated to a thicker look today and I hate it. Can I revert it back to the previous style through themes or settings?

Price and Missing Features on 17U.

  1. I can't seem to understand the actual price of the phone as it's different in every region. I got my 16gb 1TB Global version for $1348 USD with free Photography Pro Kit and I see people buying it for under $1200 USD. Did I got ripped off or got a normal offer?

  2. Why is Gold Vibes and Cinematic Filters only available in the camera app but not in the gallery App. I took some photos where I knew I need to apply Gold Vibes filter but due to the time constraint I couldn't change filter all the time so I decided to apply it later. Once I sat for editing, I couldn't find it anywhere. I have been OPPO user and all Hasselblad Filters have always been available in both places. A very frustrated scene for me btw.

  3. Shooting video at 4K 120fps and trying to do slow motion in gallery gap doesn't actual slow down the video without jerkiness. I tried multiple times to do a smooth transition but whenever I slow down the video (I cut and slow down a portion) it just doesn't look good at all. Is the app not powerful enough to do this and I have to use another app or again something I am missing?

  4. The stabilization on of 4k videos are amazing, even 8k gives a good stabilization but why isn't changing lens allowed? Does it allow in promode LOG? I don't shoot LOG but this is a feature that I am very used to, taking videos on different lens.

  5. No widgets on Lock screen? is this 2022 for Xiaomi? All my previous phones (iPhone, OPPO etc) had this feature normally available but in Xiaomi it is straight out missing. Live Alert also doesn't have any option in setting where I can limit which app I need to let Live Alerts on through Hyper Island. It's a must feature to restrict certain apps not to show up when you don't want to.

  6. Where is the option to have a different Quick setting screen (old style)? I don't like having two different swipes for notification and quick setting which is very annoying on iPhone as well as Xiaomi.

Other than these, this phone is better than my iPhone and Photography on this like I am using a DSLR.
