In terms of specifications, the smartphone will be practically no different from the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max and will have the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, as well as a 6.8" flat OLED display with 2K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, but will remain without an additional rear display, freeing up space for a huge round camera block.
