The new Redmi's battery lasts a long time, but in other areas it's quite weak

Calcalist tested the Xiaomi Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, which comes with a 10,000 mAh battery. The battery lasted over two and a half days in testing, but the overall specs, especially the 8 GB RAM, are relatively weak and cause a lack of smoothness in games. The cameras are basic and the results are good but not sharp. The price is about 2,200 shekels.

Calcalist tested the Xiaomi Redmi Note 17 Pro Max smartphone, which comes with an exceptionally large 10,000 mAh battery. In testing, the battery lasted over two and a half days (about 64 hours) in mixed use, close to the promised three days. The device includes a 6.83-inch screen, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage. The reviewer notes that the RAM is relatively low for the era and causes a feeling of lack of smoothness, especially in demanding games. The cameras are basic: a 50 MP main sensor with 2x optical zoom and an 8 MP wide sensor. Results are good in daylight but lack sharpness in detail. The device is IP68 rated and comes with a HyperOS interface loaded with apps. The price is about 2,200 shekels. The summary concludes that the battery is a notable gimmick but the weak specs are noticeable.
