We then have the upcoming Xiaomi 17 Max, which is already starting to make a name for itself, followed by the Galaxy A17 and Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max.<\/p>\n

In seventh is the Honor 600 Pro, which was on the podium last week and leading the chart not too long ago.<\/p>\n

Xiaomi-made mid-rangers Redmi Note 15 and Poco X8 Pro take the next two spots, while the iPhone 17 returns to the chart and captures the last spot.
