Xiaomi launches 17 Max, Clip earbuds and Smart Band 10 Pro in China
Xiaomi launched the 17 Max smartphone, the Xiaomi Clip open-ear earbuds and the Smart Band 10 Pro in China on Thursday, alongside a broader event that also included the YU7 GT electric SUV.
The 17 Max is listed on Xiaomi’s store page at 4,799 yuan, and the company describes it with the line:
“第五代骁龙8至尊版| 8000mAh 小米金沙江电池| 6.9英寸新一代超级阳光屏.”
English Translation: 5th Gen Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition | 8000mAh Xiaomi Jinsha River Battery | 6.9-inch Next-Generation Super Sunlight Display.
Xiaomi also says the phone brings:
“携众多技术突破，带来随处可见的创新科技，让影像、性能、屏幕、续航表现面面出众.”
It means:
The phone is packed with numerous technological breakthroughs, it brings innovation you can see everywhere, ensuring outstanding performance across the board in imaging, overall performance, display, and battery life.
Xiaomi says the 17 Max uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, a 6.9-inch display, an 8,000mAh battery, and Leica-tuned imaging hardware anchored by a 200-megapixel main camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor and a 3x optical zoom telephoto lens.
The phone is also teased in Sky Blue, White and Pixel Black, and Xiaomi has said it will support 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
The Smart Band 10 Pro arrives as Xiaomi’s most watch-like tracker yet, with a 1.74-inch AMOLED panel at 336 by 480 pixels, peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits, a 9.7mm body, and a weight of 21.6 grams for the metal model.
Xiaomi says the band includes a dual-light PPD sensor, blood oxygen monitoring, HRV tracking, sleep monitoring, a new cycling mode, a game mode for more than 400 games, Bluetooth 5.4, GNSS, NFC, 5ATM water resistance and compatibility with the Apple ecosystem, including support for Apple Shortcuts.
The standard model is priced at 399 yuan, the leather strap version at 449 yuan and the ceramic version at 479 yuan, with colors that include Black, Cherry Blossom Pink, Coral Orange, Cheese White, Ceramic White and Silver.
Xiaomi’s Clip open-ear earbuds are a more aggressive push into the open-ear category.
The company says each bud weighs about 5.5 grams, uses an 11mm dynamic driver with a microcrystalline metal-coated diaphragm, and supports LHDC 5.0, Hi-Res Audio Wireless, Bluetooth 5.4 and a three-microphone setup with a VPU bone-conduction microphone.
Xiaomi also says the earbuds use reverse sound waves to reduce leakage, support AI translation and transcription tools, work with Apple’s Find My app, and come with 60mAh batteries in each bud and a 510mAh case that delivers up to nine hours of playback on a single charge and up to 38 hours total, with a 10-minute top-up rated for four hours.
The launch price is 849 yuan, or 799 yuan during the introductory period, and Xiaomi is selling them in Obsidian Black, Parrot Purple, Pearl White and Satin Gold.
The launch keeps Xiaomi focused on two themes that now run through much of its hardware line, bigger batteries in its flagship phones and tighter cross-platform features in accessories.
The 17 Max is positioned as the battery-heavy top end of the 17 family, while the band and earbuds lean on Apple ecosystem support, a signal that Xiaomi is trying to widen appeal beyond its core Android base even as it continues to seed products in China first.
