Xiaomi's 17T series are midrange phones with 5x telephoto cameras - Engadget

Xiaomi expands the 17 series with midrange models that retain premium features. The Xiaomi 17T Pro includes a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with up to 144Hz refresh rate and 3,500 nits peak brightness. Its camera system uses a 50MP main sensor with a Leica-made f/1.67 lens and OIS, plus a 5x telephoto with f/3.0 and OIS supporting up to 120x AI “Ultra Zoom” and macro shooting, along with a 12MP ultrawide. The Xiaomi 17T keeps the same sensor lineup without the Leica lens, with a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED display up to 120Hz and 3,500 nits. Both use MediaTek processors, with 17T Pro using Dimensity 9500 and 17T using Dimensity 8500-Ultra, paired with 7,000mAh and 6,500mAh batteries and up to 100W fast charging.

"Starting with the Xiaomi 17T Pro, it has a 6.83-inch AMOLED screen at 1.5K (2,772 x 1,280) resolution, up to 144Hz refresh rates and peak brightness of 3,500 nits. The main camera is a 50-megapixel sensor with a Leica-made lens(f/1.67) and OIS (optical image stabilization). At the same time, the 5x telephoto has an f/3.0 lens, also with OIS, supporting up to 120x AI-powered "Ultra Zoom" and macro shooting. Finally, there's a 12MP ultrawide, too."

"The smaller Xiaomi 17T still delivers a 5x telephoto camera, a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel, with up to 120Hz refresh rates and 3,500-nit peak brightness. Camera-wise, aside from lacking a Leica lens, it's the same collection of sensors: a 50MP main sensor with f/1.7 aperture, OIS, a 50MP telephoto with OIS and the same 12MP ultra-wide camera. It's worth noting that many flagships rarely reach 5x optical zoom, needing to crop in for that level."

"Both phones have MediaTek processors, although the bigger phone is a little more powerful. The Xiaomi 17T Pro is powered by the 3nm Dimensity 9500, while Xiaomi 17T has the 4nm Dimensity 8500-Ultra. It's midrange stuff, but the small architecture should make the most of the silicon-carbon batteries. The 17T Pro has a massive 7,000mAh cell, while the 17T is no slouch with its 6,500mAh battery. Both support up to 100W fast-charge, if you've got a compatible charger."
