Bearing in mind this is the Chinese model (there\u2019s no word on a global edition yet), I was unable to test all of the functionality, but I have a good idea what will work here and what doesn\u2019t. I love the time and notifications, because I don\u2019t have to pick up my phone as much when it\u2019s face down on the desk and I\u2019m working.<\/p>\n

The customizable themes and pets are fun. It\u2019s an opportunity to add a little more personality to your phone. While the real-time updates work only with select Chinese apps right now, the utility is clear, and the music controls are very handy. The selfie preview is an obvious benefit, as the photos you can take with the main camera far surpass those taken with any front-facing camera.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also excited about the pin function. You know that awkward dance you do when you\u2019re queuing? You have the QR code that they\u2019ll scan in a minute open on your phone, but you want to continue reading or messaging. Well, this allows you to pin it on the back display and get on with what you\u2019re doing. While I wasn\u2019t able to test it, I know this will be handy.<\/p>\n

As a big retro gaming fan<\/a>, I love the look and feel of the case, and it automatically connects via Bluetooth and triggers the game mode. But once I got over the novelty, I was left wondering why I would ever want to play a game on a tiny screen interrupted by camera lenses when I have one of the most gorgeous 6.7-inch phone displays I\u2019ve ever used in my hand. I tried Angry Birds 2, and it\u2019s totally playable on the back display, but just because you can do something doesn\u2019t mean you should.<\/p>\n

And the Rest\"Xiaomi<\/p>\n

Naturally, the 17 Pro Max is a specs beast, and the 17 Pro isn\u2019t far behind. Both are powered by Qualcomm\u2019s brand-new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor<\/a>, and my review unit has 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. The displays feature Xiaomi’s new M10 display technology, and it is sharp and power-efficient, and it gets very bright.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bearing in mind this is the Chinese model (there\u2019s no word on a global edition yet), I was…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":254925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[2718,18292,611,12492,27113,2107,10740,158,67,132,68,20268],"class_list":{"0":"post-254924","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-android","9":"tag-displays","10":"tag-mobile","11":"tag-phones","12":"tag-reviews-and-first-looks","13":"tag-shopping","14":"tag-smartphones","15":"tag-technology","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-xiaomi"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115267924733666583","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
