Xiaomi has brought its new Xiaomi 17T Series to the Philippines: the Xiaomi 17T Pro and Xiaomi 17T. The phones highlight better cameras, longer battery life, and smoother screens for everyday use like photos, gaming, and watching videos.
A big upgrade is the Leica camera system. Both phones have three rear cameras, led by a 50MP main lens. The 17T Pro uses a larger sensor than the 17T, which helps it capture more light and detail. Both models also use Leica lenses designed to produce clearer and more natural-looking photos.
For the first time in the T Series, both phones include a Leica 5x telephoto camera. This allows users to zoom in on faraway subjects while still keeping good image quality. It also supports close-up shots as near as 30cm and up to 120x zoom using AI enhancement.
Xiaomi is also adding a new “Leica Live Moment” feature. Instead of capturing just one still photo, it records a short moment before and after the shot, making images feel more natural and lively. The Pro model adds more advanced options, including 4K live motion video.
On the display side, both phones use a bright 1.5K AMOLED screen that stays clear even under strong sunlight. The Pro version has a smoother 144Hz refresh rate, while the standard model runs at 120Hz. Xiaomi also added eye-comfort features that adjust brightness and reduce blue light, certified by TÜV Rheinland.
Battery life is another key improvement. The Xiaomi 17T Pro packs a 7,000mAh battery, while the Xiaomi 17T has a 6,500mAh battery. Both support fast charging, with the Pro also offering wireless charging.
The phones run on MediaTek Dimensity chips, paired with a cooling system to help keep performance steady during heavy use like gaming or multitasking.
Alongside the phones, Xiaomi also introduced new smart home and connected devices as part of its growing ecosystem.
The Xiaomi 17T Pro 12GB+512GB is priced at PHP 47,999 and comes in Deep Blue, Deep Violet, and Black. The Xiaomi 17T Pro 12GB+256GB variant will be available exclusively on Shopee for PHP 45,999.
The Xiaomi 17T comes in two variants: 12GB+512GB for PHP 37,999 and 12GB+256GB for PHP 33,999, with color options including Violet, Opal White, Blue, and Black
