Buying advice for Algeria
Both Xiaomi 17 Pro Max and Xiaomi Poco F9 Ultra are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.
Xiaomi 17 Pro Max is 7% cheaper at 222,000 DZD versus 238,000 DZD for the Xiaomi Poco F9 Ultra, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.
Xiaomi Poco F9 Ultra packs a 8050 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.
Xiaomi Poco F9 Ultra reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 200 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.
Above 100,000 DZD you are paying for the chipset, camera tuning, and long-term software support, so weigh those against price.
