The Telephoto Master and Leica Live Moment
Combining Leica optics with Xiaomi’s cutting-edge imaging technology, Xiaomi 17T Series
features a triple camera system headlined by a 50MP main camera designed to capture
crystal-clear images. Inside lies an ultra-large 1/1.31-inch sensor in Xiaomi 17T Pro and a
1/1.55-inch sensor in Xiaomi 17T. Both combine Leica UltraPure optical design with a 1G +
6P hybrid Leica Summilux lens structure, renowned for rendering fine detail with exceptional
clarity. The large aperture across the series delivers superior dynamic range and beautifully
rendered depth of field.
Xiaomi 17T Series brings the Leica 5x telephoto camera to both models in the Xiaomi 17T Series, expanding shooting versatility across the lineup. It delivers 50MP images with OIS and a wide shooting range, from intricate details captured via 30cm macro photography to 10x optical-grade zoom and up to 120x AI Ultra Zoom.
Moving beyond traditional still photography, Xiaomi 17T Series introduces Leica Live Moment, capturing not only the decisive instant, but also the motion and emotion that lead up to it. Leica Live Moment preserves movements and fleeting expressions, adding greater depth and context to everyday scenes. Supported across all rear camera focal lengths, Leica Live Moment delivers dynamic imaging infused with Leica’s signature aesthetic, ensuring a consistent visual style across perspectives. The result is more expressive, nuanced storytelling beyond a single frame, capturing emotion and narrative in every shot.
Leica Live Portrait extends this capability into Portrait mode, adding a natural bokeh effect that enhances subject separation while retaining the fluidity of motion. Newly designed exclusive Leica watermarks are available for Leica Live Moment captures, and multiple moments can be combined into shareable collages for social platforms.
Live cinematography, exclusive to Xiaomi 17T Pro, brings further creative options with Ultra-HD Live Moment in 4K, as well as seamless zoom effects via Freestyle or Portrait Live cinematography.
A Flagship Display Experience in the Xiaomi 17T Series
At the heart of this exceptional visual experience is a 1.5K AMOLED display with 3500-nit peak brightness that delivers clear image quality and high color accuracy even in bright outdoor sunlight. Xiaomi 17T Pro takes this a step further, enhancing ultra-low-light night-time viewing with hardware-level 1-nit minimum brightness.
Not only is viewing crystal-clear, but also buttery-smooth with a high refresh rate offered across the series, namely up to 144Hz on the Pro variant, and 120Hz on the base version. Surrounding the screen are ultra-slim bezels that create an immersive look, focusing attention on the display. Notably, Xiaomi 17T Pro achieves this with the innovative LIPO packaging solution, resulting in equally-sized 1.29mm bezels on all four sides. Xiaomi 17T, meanwhile, comes in a more compact form factor that features a streamlined and lightweight design, optimized for effortless one-handed use for users who value portability and convenience.
Xiaomi 17T Series Power and performance without compromise
Enabling these advanced camera and visual experiences on the Xiaomi 17T Series is the powerful underlying performance across the series. Both models introduce next-generation silicon-carbon battery technology, achieving higher energy density while maintaining long-term performance.
Xiaomi 17T Pro’s 7000mAh battery is the largest on a Xiaomi Series smartphone in the international markets, with a 27% increase in capacity over the previous generation, delivering an average of 1.88 days of use for typical users and all-day power for even the heaviest users. Both 100W wired HyperCharge and 50W wireless HyperCharge are also supported for a quick recharge whenever needed. Meanwhile, despite coming in a more compact design, Xiaomi 17T is equipped with a 6500mAh battery with an 18% higher capacity than the previous generation. Paired with 67W HyperCharge, it keeps users powered throughout the day. Both Xiaomi 17T Pro and Xiaomi 17T are compatible with third-party chargers, thanks to 100W and 50W PPS support, respectively.
Maximizing battery efficiency are two highly optimized chipsets designed for sustained performance. Xiaomi 17T Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, built on a 3nm process, while Xiaomi 17T features the MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra on a 4nm architecture. Both deliver major upgrades in CPU, GPU, and AI performance, enabling smooth responsiveness across demanding multitasking and next-generation gaming. To maintain this peak output, the Xiaomi 3D IceLoop System provides advanced thermal management through efficient vapor–liquid separation. By rapidly channeling heat away from the core chipset, it enhances sustained stability and ensures the device remains comfortable to hold, even under heavy workloads.
Both Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro deliver comprehensive upgrades across the board, including an enhanced camera system featuring the innovative Leica Live Moment and a highly versatile telephoto lens, along with increased battery capacity and more, elevating the Xiaomi T Series to an entirely new level.
