Xiaomi's Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, now on sale in Europe and other global markets (not the US) at $499, ships with a 9,210mAh silicon-carbon dual-cell battery — up to 10,000mAh outside Europe. The recent mid-range norm was 5,000mAh. Xiaomi claims 80% capacity retention over 1,600 cycles, roughly six years, with 100W charging filling it in just over an hour. Worth flagging: Xiaomi has not disclosed weight or thickness.
