Following the launch of new products such as the Xiaomi 17 Max in the Chinese market, Xiaomi announced today (May 28th) the expansion of its Xiaomi 17 series lineup for the European and UK markets, officially launching the mid-range Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro. They will also be launched in the Taiwan market soon. While not featuring a one-inch sensor like the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the Xiaomi 17T series is equipped with a 5x optical zoom telephoto lens, a large-capacity silicon carbon battery, and a high refresh rate display, offering a highly competitive price-performance ratio compared to traditional mid-range phones.
Xiaomi 17T Pro: MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor paired with a 7000mAh battery
As the top-of-the-line model in the series, the Xiaomi 17T Pro boasts impressive specifications in terms of screen and battery.
• Screen and performance:配備6.83吋的1.5K (2772 x 1280)AMOLED顯示螢幕，支援最高144Hz畫面更新率與高達3500尼特的峰值亮度，核心硬體則搭載聯發科天璣9500處理器。
• Battery life performance:Thanks to the combination of a small-architecture processor and silicon-carbon battery technology, the Xiaomi 17T Pro has an amazing 7000mAh super-large battery and supports 100W fast charging (with a compatible charger).
• Leica Imaging System:The main camera features a 5000-megapixel sensor, paired with a Leica lens with an f/1.67 aperture and OIS optical image stabilization. The telephoto lens is equipped with an f/3.0 aperture, 5000 megapixels, and OIS optical image stabilization, offering 5x optical zoom. In addition to macro shooting, it also supports up to 120x "Ultra Zoom" zoom via A sensor. Furthermore, it also features a 1200-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens.
Xiaomi 17T: Lightweight body with 5x optical zoom lens as standard
Although the Xiaomi 17T is smaller in size and positioned as more affordable, it does not compromise on telephoto capabilities.
• Screen and performance:搭載6.59吋1.5K AMOLED顯示面板，支援最高120Hz畫面更新率與3500尼特峰值亮度。處理器改採聯發科天璣8500-Ultra規格，內建6500mAh矽碳電池，同樣支援100W快充。
• Camera configuration:雖然小米17T缺少徠卡鏡頭加持，但依然配備支援OIS光學防手震的5000萬畫素、f/1.7光圈設計廣角鏡頭、同樣支援OIS光學防手震的5000萬畫素、5倍光學變焦長焦鏡頭，以及1200萬畫素超廣角鏡頭。
It's worth noting that even today's top flagship phones rarely achieve pure 5x optical zoom; they often need to crop the zoom to achieve that focal length. For example, the current iPhone 17 Pro only supports up to 4x optical zoom.
New Leica Live Moment feature and availability information
In terms of software applications, Xiaomi's collaboration with Leica continues to deepen. The Xiaomi 17T series debuted a new camera feature called "Leica Live Moment," a new function that Xiaomi is using to compete with iPhone's Live Photos. While taking a still photo, the phone automatically captures a short video clip and applies Leica's "signature aesthetic." This feature supports all camera lenses and portrait mode.
Regarding the launch information, Xiaomi stated that the two new phones will be sold in the UK and European markets through online channels and some physical retail stores, and are also expected to be launched in Asian markets such as Taiwan later.
• Xiaomi 17T Pro:The suggested retail price is £799 (approximately $1070).
• Xiaomi 17T:The suggested retail price starts at £650 (approximately $871).
Multiple Xiaomi ecosystem products were launched simultaneously.
In addition to the Xiaomi 17T series, Xiaomi also launched several other Xiaomi ecosystem products for the European and UK markets. However, some of these products may not be launched simultaneously in Taiwan or other Asian markets. The new products include the Xiaomi Sound Play portable speaker, Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro, Xiaomi Robot Vacuum Cleaner H50 Pro, Mijia Side-by-Side Refrigerator (621L version), Xiaomi Watch S5 (46mm model), Xiaomi S Mini LED TV series (2026 version), Xiaomi Buds 6, Mijia Air Conditioner (Fresh Air Version), and Mijia Front-Opening Washer & Dryer (8kg version).
