The cover display on flip foldables lets you take selfies with the primary camera, isn’t it? These two don’t fold, but they can do the same trick – both the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max have full-width secondary displays on their backs.

As Xiaomi’s second small flagship, the 17 Pro is clearly more capable than the 16 Pro. We are not just saying that because there is a 2.7″ & 2.9″ (Pro Max) secondary display on the back.
