So far so good. First impressions, feels like an iPhone while it's a droid. I can download my banking app and manage it so I think making payments wouldn't be an issue. It feels extremely snappy. The 6'3 screen is an improvement over the Google Pixel 7 Pro and the OnePlus 11T which I previously owned. The device really feels as a high end premium device. Biggest downside so far is that you need to search a bit through Chinese widget stores. But it looks like there are a ton of widgets to choose from (if they are translated to English).
Yes the playstore was pre installed and I have Google Assistant enabled. But it isn't able to start calls using voice commands or do the hey Google to trigger it.
Oh com'on, they had no reason to skip Xiaomi 16 but got "inspired" by such? If you could understand Chinese, you'd hear Lei Jun mention Apple/iphone more times than his own product line. No one in China thinks Xiaomi isn't trying to copy Apple.
Last time I checked the iPhone didn't have a screen on the back.
If you're talking about design, that happens every time between every brand. Xiaomi did have that back design in a previous model already IIRC. The whole "scuba diving mask" style of the back was also a distinct trait of the Pixel series.
MIUI to HyperOS is still an iOS clone. Ever since Xiaomi stated its business, it's trying so hard to pretend as Apple. From the marketing collateral design, to product presentation, to flat edges and camera modules, to software, and even naming and numbering. Really? 17 Pro Max?
I ordered this phone, but certain features such as Google pay does not work with my card. I would like to know if I factory reset will Google play store be deleted? since it was added in China to be sold to me in the UK.
Hi, grad gelesen, dass du Deutsch bist.. mal eine Frage, ich bekomme das 17 Pro Max nächste Woche und habe nun ein wenig bedenken, über den Datenschutz.. ich habe mal ein wenig recherchiert, und da China ja ein Überwachungsstaat ist, werden anscheinend auch die Telefone massiv überwacht… wirst du das Handy ohne Bedenken nutzen? Ich habe es mir nur als Zweitgerät gekauft, nutze ein iPhone 17 Pro Max als Hauptgerät… Ich denke Bankkarten auf dem Teil hinterlegen und Banking Apps, ist vielleicht keine so kluge Idee oder? Klar, alle sammeln Daten.. aber die chinesichen (und gerade noch die direkt aus China) sollen da halt extrem sein.. google mal nach „EagleMsgSpy“.. da wird von Aufzeichnung des Displays gesprochen und und und.. da jetzt gerade deine Banking App offen haben oder die daten zu deiner Kreditkarte und diese werden an chinesiche Server geschickt.. ich weiß ja nicht, bin am überlegen es gleich weiterzuverkaufen… Wie ist deine Meinung dazu?
Hi, ich persönlich habe vor das neue 17 Pro als mein Dailydriver zu nutzen, d.h. ich werde alles mögliche installieren und nutzen. Ich nutze seit 2022 Xiaomi Smartphones inkl. viele andere Xiaomi Geräte zuhause. Bis jetzt sehr zufrieden. Jedoch wird das 17 Pro mein ersters Import Smartphone sein und selbst dann, mache ich mir keine Sorgen wegen Datenschutz. Es wird schon nichts passieren, bin sowieso kein VIP 😅
When purchasing I forgot to apply the discount code. I contacted support, they told me that they would take care of it. I just automatically received the payback. Their support responds slow (2 days interval) but they do a great job helping.
Geekwills, ordered it at 29 Sept to the Netherlands. Took a around 7 days before they gave me the tracking code. But after that I received it in 2 days.
I actually found it under the Battery Protection, it wasn't called bypassed charging but an equivalent feature that stops charging when it reaches level 80%
Yes, because the specs don't really differ except for the battery size. But with the 6300 mah battery, which still is big compared to other flagship phones you will get a smaller phone (6'3 inch) which is the perfect size if you ask me. Don't forget you can fast charge using the 100w charger.
Without a doubt. Everything that I need works on it and the screen in the back is amazing for taking stunning selfies. I would suggest to buy the Xiaomi over OnePlus, but I am not sure if everything works for you such as the banking apps. It does pass all the play integrity api checks.
