Last week, the Xiaomi 17T series launched globally and now the brand has decided to bring the standard Xiaomi 17T to India. This marks the re-entry of the "Xiaomi T" series in India after a gap of six years. The phone is positioned as a camera-first premium mid-ranger with a Dimensity 8 series processor, Leica-backed cameras, a big battery and a 1.5K display.

Xiaomi 17T Specifications and Features

Right off the bat, the immediately noticeable aspect of the Xiaomi 17T is its design. It brings a minimal look to the table and is reminiscent of the Xiaomi 15T from 2025. It brings a glass fibre back panel with a metal squircle camera deco and a brushed aluminium mid-frame.

The phone is on the thicker side with an 8.17mm thickness, but is relatively lightweight at 200 grams. A large part of this can be attributed to the 6,500mAh battery inside the Xiaomi 17T and it comes with 67W fast USB-C charging and 22.5W reverse wired charging.

For performance, Xiaomi is using the powerful mid-range Dimensity 8500 Ultra processor, which is a slightly better-tuned version of the regular Dimensity 8500 chipset. Aside from that, the phone is backed by Leica Summilux lens and also brings a 1.5K display, stereo speakers, Hyper OS 3 and more. Here is a quick rundown of everything the Xiaomi 17T offers:
