REDMI Note 17 Pro Max 5G vs REDMI Note 17 Pro 5G — in this full comparison, I put both phones side by side and compare their design, durability, AMOLED displays, performance, HyperOS 3 features, cameras, COD Mobile gaming, thermals, batteries, charging speeds, audio and connectivity.

Smartphone Ranking Chart: bit.ly/4reF8VW
The REDMI Note 17 Pro 5G featured in this video is the Sky Blue 6GB RAM and 256GB storage model. The REDMI Note 17 Pro Max 5G is the Purple 8GB RAM and 256GB storage model.
Both phones feature a large 6.83-inch 1.5K 120Hz CrystalRes AMOLED display, a 50MP main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and IP66/IP68 dust and water resistance.
The key differences are found in performance, memory, storage, selfie cameras, battery capacity and charging. The Pro uses the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4, while the Pro Max steps up to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5, LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage on this 256GB version.
Battery life is one of the biggest talking points. The REDMI Note 17 Pro packs an 8,340mAh battery with 67W HyperCharge and 22.5W reverse charging. The Pro Max takes that further with a huge 9,210mAh battery, 100W HyperCharge and 27W reverse charging.
I also compare the available graphics settings in COD Mobile, test real gameplay on both phones and check their thermals at the end of each gaming session. Finally, both phones receive a separate Chigz Tech Score.
