Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max have a telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, but another difference is striking - an additional screen on the back. The screen occupies almost the entire block around the cameras and can be used not only as a viewfinder for selfies or for interesting screenshots, the company showed a special case with buttons that allows you to play simple games on the back screen. Not that this is an important feature, but it looks interesting.
