Where it sits in this database
CompareForge tracks 47 phones. The median below is the middle value of those records — our own database, not a market survey — so it shows how Xiaomi 17 Pro Max sits against the phones we actually publish, not against everything on sale.
| Measure | Xiaomi 17 Pro Max | Median of our 47 phones | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery capacity | 7,500 mAh | 5,000 mAh | 2,500 mAh above the median |

| Starting price | $899 | $799 | $100 above the median |
| Screen size | 6.7 in | 6.7 in | 0.0 in above the median |
A figure above the median is not better by definition — a heavier phone may carry a larger battery — but it tells you where this model sits among the records on this site before you read the specification table.
