The Xiaomi 17T Series Smartphones Include Two Models
Michael Hemsworth — May 29, 2026 — Tech
The Xiaomi 17T series smartphones have been debuted by the brand as its latest lineup of mobile devices that are engineered with productivity and pro-grade photography capabilities in mind.
The handsets include the Xiaomi 17T and the 17T Pro, which are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 and the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, respectively, and both have advanced camera systems. This includes a 50MP periscope telephoto lens that's rated to achieve 10x optical-grade zoom and tele-macro shots from 30cm. The system is rounded out with a 12MP ultra-wide lens and a 32MP selfie camera on the front.
The Xiaomi 17T series smartphones also differentiate themselves from one another with a 6,500mAh battery on the main model and a 7,000mAh battery on the Pro version that's made with 16% silicon carbon.
