Leica periscope telephoto lens and 6500mAh silicon-carbon battery in a sleek 6.59" body
The Xiaomi 17T is a powerful mid-to-high-end smartphone and the first in the Xiaomi T series to feature a Leica periscope telephoto lens in a compact body—bringing with it professional photography capabilities previously exclusive to flagship models. The triple camera with Leica Summilux optical lenses includes a 50MP Light Fusion 800 main sensor (1/1.55", f/1.7, OIS), a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 5× optical zoom and OIS for clear shots up to a 115mm focal length, and a 12MP ultra-wide lens with a 120° field of view. The AI Ultra Zoom extends the digital zoom up to 120×, and the Leica Live Moment feature captures the story of the moment before and after you press the shutter. It's powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra processor on a TSMC 4nm process with an All-Big-Core architecture for high performance in gaming and multitasking. The 6.59" AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution (2756 × 1268), 120Hz refresh rate, 3500 nits peak brightness, and four TÜV Rheinland eye protection certificates ensures a perfect visual experience in all conditions. A massive 6500mAh silicon-carbon battery with an energy density of 829Wh/L and 67W HyperCharge charging provides up to 17 hours of completely uninterrupted use and a full charge in 58 minutes. IP68 certification, Bluetooth 6.0, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, an infrared transmitter, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, HyperOS 3 with Google Gemini, and a full suite of Xiaomi HyperAI features complete the picture of a smartphone that delivers flagship photography capabilities at an affordable price.

A Perfect Picture in Any Light
The Xiaomi 17T smartphone features a 6.59" AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution (2756 × 1268 pixels, 460 PPI), which combines superior sharpness with a peak brightness of 3500 nits for readability even in direct sunlight. A 120Hz refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling and gaming, while the 12-bit colour depth with 68 billion colour shades and 100% DCI-P3 coverage displays every photo and video exactly as intended. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ then fine-tune the cinematic experience down to the last detail.
Leica Triple Camera for Every Distance and Every Story
The Xiaomi 17T brings photographic capabilities previously exclusive to flagship models to the mid-to-high-end segment. The main 50MP Light Fusion 800 sensor, with a 1/1.55" sensor, f/1.7 aperture, and OIS optical stabilisation, captures rich detail even in low light, while its 23mm focal length covers everyday photographic situations from portraits to landscapes and street shots. The 12MP ultra-wide lens, with its 120° field of view and 15mm focal length, opens up compositional possibilities that a standard lens simply can't handle. All three lenses feature a Leica Summilux optical design with a 1G+6P hybrid construction, AR coating, and a spin-coated IR filter to minimise ghosting and reflections, even in challenging lighting conditions.
A Game-Changing Periscope Telephoto Lens
While other smartphones in this price range make do with digital zoom, the Xiaomi 17T is the first in the T series to feature a true 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 5× optical zoom, an f/3.0 aperture, and OIS optical stabilisation. Its 115mm focal length is equivalent to a classic portrait telephoto lens, ensuring natural perspective compression and a soft background blur for portraits with a cinematic feel. The 10× lossless optical zoom captures distant subjects in full quality, and the AI Ultra Zoom pushes the boundaries of digital zoom up to 120× with surprisingly preserved detail sharpness.
Leica Live Moment and the Art of Portrait Photography
A good photograph doesn't start when you press the shutter—it starts before. The Leica Live Moment feature captures a series of moments before and after you press the shutter, creating a living story around the decisive moment that would otherwise be lost forever. The dual portrait style uses the native 5× optical zoom for more precise focus on facial features and a softer background blur than standard portrait modes, while Leica filters, the classic shutter sound, and a watermark refine the aesthetic of every shot. Photographers who want results in the spirit of Leica Authentic or Leica Vibrant styles can simply select their preferred photographic character before they start shooting.
AI Creative Assistant for Limitless Editing
A great shot is just the beginning. Xiaomi HyperAI provides a suite of AI post-production tools right on your phone—AI Erase Pro accurately removes unwanted passers-by or distracting elements with intelligent background texture restoration, AI Image Expansion intelligently expands the composition to any aspect ratio, and AI Image Enhancement instantly restores sharpness and fine details from blurry shots. AI Cutout automatically separates the subject from the background for creative collages, and AI Film transforms selected photos and clips into a cinematically edited, personalised story—all without needing to reach for external apps.
MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra for Uncompromising Performance
Under the bonnet of the Xiaomi 17T beats a MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra processor, manufactured using a TSMC 4nm process with a unique All-Big-Core architecture—all eight cores are performance Cortex-A725s without lower-end efficiency cores, with the main core reaching frequencies of up to 3.4GHz. Compared to its predecessor, it delivers 7% higher multi-core performance and 25% better graphics performance thanks to the Mali-G720 MC8 GPU, ensuring smooth gameplay in demanding titles and heavy multitasking. LPDDR5X memory with a 9600Mbps bandwidth and UFS 4.1 storage ensure lightning-fast loading of apps and games without unnecessary waiting.
The Xiaomi 17T Uses Unique IceLoop Cooling
The processor's performance is only as good as the Xiaomi 17T's ability to sustain it without thermal throttling. The Xiaomi 3D IceLoop system fits snugly against the chip for maximally efficient heat dissipation right at the source, and a gel with a high thermal conductivity of 6W/mK ensures rapid heat transfer to the cooling surface. The result is a phone that maintains constant performance even during extended gaming sessions or demanding video streaming, without uncomfortable overheating in your hand and without the performance drops that ruin the gaming experience at the worst possible moment.
A battery that keeps up with your life
The Xiaomi 17T comes with a 6500mAh silicon-carbon battery with an energy density of 829Wh/L. The high silicon content allows for significantly higher energy density compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries while maintaining the phone's compact size. The result is a long battery life under real-world continuous use, covering even the most intensive days without needing to reach for a charger. When the battery does need a top-up, the 67W HyperCharge will charge it to 100% in just 58 minutes. Support for 50W PPS, PD3.0, and 22.5W wired reverse charging ensures compatibility with a wide range of chargers and allows you to charge other devices from your phone.
The Xiaomi 17T mobile phone impresses at first sight and first touch
The elegant 6.59" body with a four-sided central frame offers a comfortable grip and easy one-handed operation despite the generously sized display. The golden arched design on the back adds a refined decorative element that sets the 17T apart from the uniform world of flat smartphones, and the available colour options of Black, Blue, and Purple offer a choice for every taste. The combination of Corning Gorilla Glass 7i on the front, a plastic frame, and a glass-fibre-reinforced plastic back ensures durability for everyday use. The IP68 certification adds protection against water and dust for peace of mind on rainy days and near water. Weighing 200g and with a thickness of just 8.17mm, this is a phone that feels pleasant in the hand and fits easily into any pocket.
Smarter AI thanks to Google Gemini
With support for Google Gemini, the Xiaomi 17T brings elements of truly smart assistance to everyday use. Artificial intelligence helps you search for information faster, summarise texts, plan tasks, or work with content across apps, all in a natural and understandable way. Gemini learns from your usage style and can offer relevant suggestions right when you need them, increasing both your efficiency and the comfort of using your phone.
The Xiaomi 17T uses an intelligent system that thinks for you
The HyperOS 3 system takes the user experience of the Xiaomi 17T a step further. It offers a clean, clear interface with an emphasis on fast responses, low system resource requirements, and better power management. Kernel-level optimisation ensures swift app launches and smooth multitasking, while thoughtful animations and a logical menu layout make daily operation more pleasant. HyperOS 3 is designed to maintain the phone's performance at a high level over the long term, while also providing a stable foundation for security updates and new features for years to come.
