Xiaomi Launches New 17T Series Smartphones with Dual Sizes and Telephoto Features

Xiaomi has launched its latest T Series smartphones, the Xiaomi 17T Series, which includes the Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro in Nigeria.

This new series features an advanced Leica 5x telephoto camera and a display designed to care for your eyes. It also comes with a large-capacity battery. The Xiaomi 17T Series is designed to provide a top-notch experience for today's users, and it is the first in the T Series to offer two sizes.

Capture Moments with Leica Telephoto and Live Moment

The Xiaomi 17T Series includes a triple camera system, with a 50MP main camera that captures sharp images. The Xiaomi 17T Pro has a large 1/1.31-inch sensor, while the Xiaomi 17T has a 1/1.55-inch sensor. Both models feature Leica UltraPure optical design and a special lens structure, known for capturing fine details clearly. The large aperture enhances dynamic range and depth of field quality.

For the first time, both models in the Xiaomi 17T Series come with the Leica 5x telephoto camera, increasing flexibility. This camera captures 50MP images with optical image stabilization. It can shoot from close-up details with 30cm macro photography to 10x optical zoom and up to 120x AI Ultra Zoom.

This allows users to shoot from different distances easily. The telephoto system also improves video recording, especially on the Xiaomi 17T Pro, which offers 4K video at 60fps. This feature provides a natural background blur for better visual appeal. Special modes like Stage help capture performances and events clearly, even in tricky lighting.

Going beyond still photos, the Xiaomi 17T Series introduces Leica Live Moment. This feature captures not just the key moment but also the motion and emotions leading up to it. Leica Live Moment keeps movement and expressions, adding more depth to everyday scenes.

This feature works with all rear camera focal lengths, adding a unique visual style. It helps tell stories in a more expressive way, moving beyond just one frame. Leica Live Portrait enhances portrait mode with a natural blur effect that separates the subject while keeping movement smooth. New exclusive Leica watermarks are available for these captures, and multiple moments can be turned into collages to share on social media.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro also brings live cinematography features, allowing for Ultra-HD Live Moment in 4K, along with zoom effects using Freestyle or Portrait Live cinematography.

Top-Notch Display with Eye Care

The Xiaomi 17T Series focuses on user comfort with advanced eye-care tech in its displays, introducing Xiaomi Vision Care. This display adapts automatically to different lighting and reduces blue light, flicker, and motion blur for comfort throughout the day. This series is the first to get the TÜV Rheinland quadruple eye-care certification and Xiaomi’s first TÜV Rheinland Intelligent Eye Care certification.

The series features a 1.5K AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 3500 nits. This ensures clear images and accurate colors, even in bright sunlight. The Xiaomi 17T Pro improves night viewing with a minimum brightness of 1 nit.

The displays offer smooth visuals with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz on the Pro model and 120Hz on the regular model. With ultra-slim bezels, the screen looks immersive, drawing more attention. The Xiaomi 17T Pro achieves this with a special LIPO packaging solution, resulting in 1.29mm bezels on all sides. The Xiaomi 17T is more compact and designed for easy one-handed use, ideal for those who want portability.

The design of the phones is stylish, with Xiaomi 17T Pro available in Deep Blue, Deep Violet, and classic Black. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 17T comes in Violet, Opal White, Blue, and Black. The brushed finish around the sides gives a modern look, while the smaller camera module adds to the sleek design.

Powerful Performance and Long Battery Life

Both Xiaomi 17T models offer powerful performance to support their advanced features. They use next-generation silicon-carbon battery technology for better energy use and longevity.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro has a 7000mAh battery, the largest in any Xiaomi smartphone sold internationally. It offers a 27% increase in capacity compared to the previous model and provides about 1.88 days of use for average users. It supports 100W wired HyperCharge and 50W wireless HyperCharge for quick recharging. The Xiaomi 17T, which is more compact, comes with a 6500mAh battery, 18% more capacity than before. It uses 67W HyperCharge, ensuring the battery lasts all day.

Both models work with third-party chargers, thanks to 100W and 50W PPS support. The performance is boosted by two optimized chipsets. The Xiaomi 17T Pro runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, while the Xiaomi 17T uses the MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra. Both deliver better CPU, GPU, and AI performance for smooth multitasking and gaming.

To keep devices cool, the Xiaomi 3D IceLoop System helps manage heat. This system channels heat away from the chipset, ensuring stability and comfort, even during heavy use.

Both Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro come with enhanced camera systems, including Leica Live Moment and a versatile telephoto lens, along with larger batteries and more, taking the Xiaomi T Series to new heights.
