11+14+13+12+12+3+3+0+5+0 = 73
EDITORIAL: OnePlus has been doing things right for a long time, always searching for the âflagship killerâ title. They got it right this time with a phone that cuts (a few) corners with the camera while besting the competition in performance and battery. The screen is great too, just not as bright as top competition. OnePlus still includes an excellent mute-vibrate-ringer slider but the SD memory and desktop replacement software are missing as always. No AF on Selfie either, only 4 OxygenOS future updates
PROs
top tier performance led by Snapdragon 8 Elite, 2-day battery life of 6000mAh Silicone Carbon battery with 100W wired (50W wireless) fast charging, 1200nits bright, >500ppi LTPO AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP69 water protection, 50MP main + 50MP tele with PDAF and OIS plus a 50MP ultrawide with PDAF, great build and a ring-vibrate-off hardware slider and aggressive pricing
CONs
still big at 76.5mm, no expandable storage or desktop replacement (updated Mar 27, 2025)
Xiaomi 17 Max
77.6mm (3.06in) · May 21, 2026 · Rank #49

* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Software
EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of screen and imaging performance) Xiaomi completes it's 17 series with a 5th phone. Similar to 17 Pro Max but with bigger battery and lesser imaging setup. With no secondary screen of Pro and Pro Max, expect outstanding endurance. Design is Xiaomi 15-like: understated and elegant with nice color options.
PROs
Xiaomi 15 understated design, excellent SD 8 Elite Gen 5 with UFS 4.1 performance, excellent 48hr endurance from a giant 8000mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min 100W (50W wireless) charging, sharp 420ppi LTPO AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP68 protection, very good pics from a 200MP 23mm OIS main + 50MP 70mm OIS periscope telephoto + 50MP 17mm ultrawide (all with PDAF) setup, feature loaded and mature HyperOS with 4 years of OS updates, fast USB-C 3.2 port with Display Port, OTG and screen sharing with Android, PC and MacOS, even car screen devices
CONs
sub-1100nits screen, no AF on average performing 32MP 21mm selfie, average video recording, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality, limited market availability
