Numerous leaks have already surfaced, ranging from official renders to detailed specifications. Both devices are expected to be powered by MediaTek processors, with the standard 17T slated to receive the Dimensity 8500-Ultra, while the 17T Pro is likely to be equipped with the flagship Dimensity 9500 SoC.
The Pro model should sport a larger 6.83-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate, whereas the base 17T is anticipated to feature a 6.59-inch AMOLED panel offering FHD+ at 120 Hz. Each phone is rumored to house a 50 MP primary sensor – the 17T with a Light Fusion 800 unit and the 17T Pro with a Light Fusion 950 – complemented by a shared 50 MP telephoto lens with 5× optical zoom and a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle camera.
Battery capacity is also set to differ, with the 17T expected to house a 6,500 mAh cell supporting 67 W charging, while the 17T Pro may carry a larger 7,000 mAh pack capable of 100 W wired and 50 W wireless charging.
Pricing rumours suggest the 12 GB/256 GB variant of the Xiaomi 17T could start at €749 in Europe, whereas the 12 GB/512 GB version of the 17T Pro may begin at €999.
