The Xiaomi 17 12GB/512GB has a 6.3-inch CrystalRes LTPO OLED display with 2656 × 1220 resolution, 460ppi, 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate, 12-bit color depth, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and up to 3,500 nits multi-scenario peak brightness. At PKR 320,000, it offers the sharpest compact flagship display in this comparison, with higher pixel density than the Samsung Galaxy S26 and a more premium color-depth specification.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 12GB/512GB at PKR 328,000 uses a 6.3-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display with 2340 × 1080 resolution, 411ppi, 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate, HDR10+ and 2,600 nits peak brightness. Its display is excellent for everyday use, but its lower FHD+ resolution and 411ppi density place it behind the Xiaomi 17 in sharpness and peak brightness.
The ZTE Nubia RedMagic 11 Pro 16GB/512GB at PKR 305,000 has the largest display here, a 6.85-inch AMOLED panel with 1216 × 2688 resolution, 431ppi, 144Hz refresh rate, 2,592Hz PWM dimming and 1,800 nits peak brightness. Its 144Hz refresh rate and large screen make it the best choice for gaming, although its lower peak brightness and lower pixel density are clear trade-offs against the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17T Pro.
The Xiaomi 17T Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 270,000 is the display value leader. Its 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel has 1772 × 1280 resolution, 447ppi, 144Hz refresh rate, 12-bit color depth, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 3,840Hz PWM dimming and 3,500 nits peak brightness. At PKR 50,000 less than the Xiaomi 17, it offers a larger screen, faster refresh rate and the same peak-brightness rating.

Verdict: The Xiaomi 17T Pro wins the display-value comparison, the Xiaomi 17 wins for compact sharpness and premium display quality, the RedMagic 11 Pro wins for gaming-focused screen size and 144Hz refresh rate, while the Samsung Galaxy S26 ranks last because its FHD+ resolution and 2,600 nits brightness trail the two Xiaomi flagships.
