The new lineup combines premium imaging capabilities, advanced display technology, and long-lasting battery performance, delivering a flagship experience in an elegant design. For the first time, the T Series is available in two sizes, offering users more options to suit their preferences.
Enhanced Photography with Leica Telephoto Technology
The Xiaomi 17T Series elevates mobile photography through a powerful triple-camera system developed in collaboration with Leica. Both devices feature a 50MP main camera designed to produce sharp, high-quality images. The Xiaomi 17T Pro incorporates a large 1/1.31-inch sensor, while the Xiaomi 17T features a 1/1.55-inch sensor. Both cameras utilize Leica UltraPure optics and a Leica Summilux lens configuration, ensuring exceptional detail, clarity, and dynamic range.
For the first time in the T Series, both smartphones are equipped with a Leica 5x telephoto camera. The 50MP telephoto lens supports Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), 30cm macro photography, 10x optical-grade zoom, and up to 120x AI Ultra Zoom, enabling users to capture subjects clearly from both near and far distances.
Video recording also receives a major upgrade.

Moving beyond traditional photography, Xiaomi introduces Leica Live Moment, a feature designed to capture motion, emotion, and the moments leading up to a photo. Available across all rear-camera focal lengths, it creates dynamic imagery while maintaining Leica’s signature visual style.
Leica Live Portrait further enhances portrait photography by adding natural bokeh effects that improve subject separation while preserving movement. Users can also access exclusive Leica watermarks and create shareable photo collages directly from captured moments.
Exclusive to the Xiaomi 17T Pro, Live Cinematography offers Ultra-HD 4K Live Moment recording alongside creative zoom effects through Freestyle and Portrait Live Cinematography modes.Premium Display with Intelligent Eye-Care Features

Both smartphones feature a vibrant 1.5K AMOLED display with peak brightness of up to 3,500 nits, ensuring excellent visibility even under direct sunlight. The Xiaomi 17T Pro also supports hardware-level 1-nit minimum brightness for enhanced nighttime viewing comfort.
The displays deliver smooth performance with refresh rates of up to 144Hz on the Xiaomi 17T Pro and 120Hz on the Xiaomi 17T.
