33.3 hours of continuous video playback let the Xiaomi 17 Max outlast two iPhone 17 Pro Max phones, whose combined runtime reached 32 hours in a social-media drain test.
An 8,000 mAh silicon-carbide battery powered the result, giving Xiaomi's 6.9-inch flagship one of the largest cells the company has put in a phone.
The comparison was limited to controlled video playback, and factors such as brightness, codec efficiency, network use, heat and software tuning could change real-world endurance.
Xiaomi is expected to unveil the 17 Max as soon as May 21, with the test positioning it as a potential battery-life standout among flagship smartphones if independent reviews confirm the result.
