Tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has released a new Weibo post to share details about an upcoming large-screen flagship from Xiaomi powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. While he has not specified the name of the device, it appears the tipster could be referring to the Xiaomi 17 Max.

Xiaomi 17 Max key details tipped

According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 17 Max’s engineering prototype includes upgraded speakers, likely using a dual symmetric 1115 speaker setup for enhanced audio performance. The device is also expected to retain an X-axis linear motor, which has reportedly become a standard feature in the series.

On the imaging front, DCS mentions a 200-megapixel large-sensor primary camera paired with a periscope telephoto lens. Other highlighted features include a flagship-grade large display, a symmetrical narrow-bezel design with equal sides, and a massive 8,000 mAh-class battery. The overall design language is said to follow a clean and minimalist aesthetic.

Previous reports have revealed that the Xiaomi 17 Max will feature a 6.9-inch flat OLED panel delivering a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Its massive battery is said to support 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Like recent Xiaomi devices, the 17 Max is expected to run on HyperOS 3-based Android 16.

The 17 Max’s rear camera setup is said to feature a 200-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL HPE primary camera, a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 50-megapixel Sony periscope telephoto lens. For selfies, it could be equipped with a 50-megapixel front-facing camera.
