Buying advice for Algeria
Both Xiaomi 17 Pro Max and Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.
Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra is 23% cheaper at 172,000 DZD versus 222,000 DZD for the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.
Xiaomi 17 Pro Max packs a 7500 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.
Above 100,000 DZD you are paying for the chipset, camera tuning, and long-term software support, so weigh those against price.
