Xiaomi Philippines unveiled their latest product, the Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro, together with a slew of other AIOT Products and Smart Tech Appliances, which expand Xiaomi’s connected ecosystem across home convenience, communication and wellness!
The new lineup continues its partnership with Leica, introducing Leica telephoto imaging, Leica Live Moment, intelligent eye-care displays, and large-capacity batteries to users who rely on their smartphones for creating, watching, working, gaming, and staying connected throughout the day. The launch also introduces new AIoT and Smart Tech Appliances, expanding Xiaomi’s ecosystem across personal wellness, audio, entertainment, and home convenience.
Transform moments into living stories with The Telephoto Master and Leica Live Moment
The Xiaomi 17T series features a triple camera system spearheaded by a 50MP main camera designed to capture crystal-clear images. The Xiaomi 17T Pro has an ultra-large 1/1.31-inch sensor 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 T 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.¹
A flagship display experience balancing visual brilliance and intelligent eye care
Xiaomi 17T Series puts user needs at the forefront, integrating advanced eye-care technology into its displays to debut Xiaomi Vision Care.² Guided by medical research with precise engineering, this display automatically adapts to ambient light conditions, and effectively manages blue light, flicker, and motion blur to ensure all-day comfort. Thanks to these innovations, Xiaomi 17T Series is the first to receive the TÜV Rheinland quadruple eye-care certification, and has earned Xiaomi’s first TÜV Rheinland Intelligent Eye Care certification.
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,³ 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.⁵ 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.
Accentuating this display are a series of finishes that blend timeless design with modern style through the latest technology and craftsmanship. Xiaomi 17T Pro is available in a sophisticated Deep Blue, an elegant Deep Violet, or a classic Black.⁴ Meanwhile, Xiaomi 17T is available in four expressive colors, including an iridescent Opal White, an ethereal Violet, a vibrant Blue, or a classic Black.⁴ A refined brushed finish extending around the sides lends a neat, modern look, while the smaller, lower camera module adds to the sleek silhouette. Micro-curved edges also result in an effortless in-hand feel.
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 battery⁶ is the largest on a Xiaomi Series smartphone in the international markets,⁷ with a 27% increase in capacity over the previous generation,⁵ delivering an average of 1.88 days of use for typical users and all-day power for even the heaviest users.⁸ Both 100W wired HyperCharge and 50W wireless HyperCharge are also supported for a quick recharge whenever needed.⁹ Meanwhile, despite coming in a more compact design, Xiaomi 17T is equipped with a 6500mAh battery⁶ with an 18% higher capacity than the previous generation.⁵ Paired with 67W HyperCharge,¹⁰ it keeps users powered throughout the day. Both Xiaomi 17T Pro and Xiaomi 17T are compatible with third-party chargers, thanks to 100W⁹ and 50W PPS support,¹⁰ 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.
