Display Review:
The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max uses a 6.83-inch AMOLED panel at 1280 x 2772 resolution (447ppi), running 120Hz with 1800 nits HBM and 3500 nits peak brightness, protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2 with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support. This is essentially the same panel Xiaomi carried over from the Redmi Note 15 series, just with a brighter peak rating.
Against the Redmi Note 15 Pro+, the difference is minimal since both share a 6.83-inch AMOLED, 1280 x 2772, 120Hz panel with 1800 nits HBM. The only gap is peak brightness, where the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max’s 3500 nits edges out the Note 15 Pro+’s 3200 nits, a difference you will barely notice outdoors in daily use.
The Vivo V70 takes a different approach with a smaller but sharper 6.59-inch AMOLED at 1260 x 2750 (459ppi), also 120Hz, matching the 1800 nits HBM but pushing local peak brightness to 5000 nits, meaning HDR highlights and direct sunlight visibility will look noticeably punchier than on the Redmi.
The Infinix GT 50 Pro goes the gaming route with a 6.78-inch AMOLED at 1224 x 2720 (440ppi) but a much faster 144Hz refresh rate, well above the 120Hz on all three rivals here, at the cost of a lower 1600 nits HBM and 4500 nits peak, meaning smoother scrolling and touch response but slightly dimmer sustained brightness than the V70.
Verdict: For sheer brightness and HDR punch, the Vivo V70 has the edge; for competitive gaming smoothness, the Infinix GT 50 Pro’s 144Hz wins. The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max’s display is solid but not a meaningful upgrade over the cheaper Redmi Note 15 Pro+, so buyers chasing display gains alone should look elsewhere in this bracket.
