We’ve completed our battery life and charging tests on the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max and the result are pretty great. Let’s see the numbers.
The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max puts its massive 7,500mAh battery to good use, scoring more than 4 hours of active use over the Xiaomi 15T Pro (which, granted, has 2,000mAh less battery). You need to look at the likes of the Oppo Find X9 Pro to find a better Active Use Score. Still, the Xiaomi is better in some individual tests – it has 12 hours more in the call test, and a few minutes more in the video playback test.
The 29 hours dead the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max was able to achieve is pretty impressive.
Moving on to charging, and the results are less impressive this time. But that’s to be expected – huge batteries are harder to charge quickly.
A quarter of an hour on the 100W HyperCharge brick of the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max will get you 42% back. That’s still impressive, matching last year’s Xiaomi 15 Ultra and sitting slightly behind the 15T Pro with its smaller battery (and slightly slower charger).
The results scale around the same way in the 30-minute test – the 15T Pro is first, followed by the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. The Find X9 Pro is way behind after 30 minutes, sitting at 54%. The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max was up to 100% in 1 hour and 2 minutes. That’s a bit faster than the Find X9 Pro’s 1:07 hours.
