Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro Launch: Features, Pricing, and Exclusive Tablet Bundle

Xiaomi has unveiled the 17T series this week, which includes the 17T and 17T Pro models. Priced at €100 more than the 15T predecessors, both devices come with significant upgrades.

Starting with the Xiaomi 17T, the phone now boasts a 50MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom and a focal length of 115mm, comparable to its Pro counterpart. This upgraded camera enables 30cm macro shots and 10x lossless zoom, enhancing the photographic capabilities from the previous model’s 2x/46mm lens. Alongside the telephoto, the camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 32MP selfie camera.

The 17T is more compact than its predecessor, sporting a 6.59-inch 12-bit 120Hz OLED display. Thanks to Silicon-Carbon technology, the battery capacity has increased to 6,500mAh, representing a 1,000mAh upgrade over the 15T. The phone supports 67W charging with a HyperCharge adapter and 50W via a USB PPS adapter, alongside reverse charging capabilities at 22.5W.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro retains its 6.83-inch display size, featuring a 12-bit OLED panel with an even faster 144Hz refresh rate. This model also has an enlarged battery capacity of 7,000mAh, an increase of 1,500mAh, and supports both 100W wired (HyperCharge and PPS) and 50W wireless charging.

The 17T Pro shares the same 50MP 5x periscope camera with the 17T but features a larger 1/1.31” main sensor. Additionally, it utilizes the advanced Dimensity 9500 chipset as opposed to the Dimensity 8500 found in the standard 17T.

As previously mentioned, the new 17T series is priced €100 higher than the previous 15T model. Since the launch just occurred a few days ago, no discounts are currently available.

However, Xiaomi is offering a promotional bundle for both phones that includes a tablet of your choice: either the more affordable Redmi Pad 2 9.7” or the premium Xiaomi Pad 8.

The Redmi tablet features a 9.7-inch 120Hz IPS LCD and is powered by the Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 chipset. Although it offers only 4GB of RAM, the 64GB storage is expandable via microSD. It packs a 7,600mAh battery with 18W charging support. Normally priced at €200, this tablet can be acquired for €100 as part of the bundle.

The Xiaomi Pad 8 boasts a larger 11.2-inch 144Hz IPS LCD and is driven by a robust Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. Although it provides more RAM and storage out of the box, it does not have a microSD slot. This tablet is equipped with a 9,200mAh battery with 45W charging and 22.5W reverse charging capabilities. Typically priced at €450 (currently with a €30 discount on mi.com), it is available for €300 as part of the bundle.

Currently, the Xiaomi 17 Max and 17 Pro Max are unavailable in Europe, leaving the Xiaomi 17 and the high-end Xiaomi 17 Ultra models as alternatives to the 17T series. If you are looking for other options, consider the Poco F8 Ultra.

The Poco F8 Ultra is more economical than the standard 17T while offering a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset that competes well with the MediaTek processor in the 17T Pro. It is equipped with the same 1/1.31” Light Fusion 950 sensor as the Pro, along with a 50MP periscope and a 50MP ultra-wide camera (compared to the 12MP on the 17T models). The screen is slightly larger at 6.9 inches (featuring a 12-bit 120Hz OLED), while the battery capacity is a little lower at 6,500mAh, supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.
