Just as sure as night follows day, Xiaomi is following up its impressive Xiaomi 17 series with a slightly more frugal Xiaomi 17T series for those on a tighter budget.
We’ve had confirmation of that fact through French website Dealabs, which claims to have discovered the specifications and pricing for the Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro.
It had already been revealed that the Xiaomi 17T range would run on the Dimensity 8500, together with 12GB of RAM, but this report goes further.

Apparently, the regular Xiaomi 17T will run on the MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra, while the Xiaomi 17T Pro will bump up to the Dimensity 9500. We saw the latter chip running the Oppo Find X9 Pro to great effect.
The Xiaomi 17T will shrink a little from the Xiaomi 15T, adopting a 6.59-inch 1.5K display rather than its predecessor’s 6.83-inch unit. The Pro retains its 6.83-inch 1.5K screen.
Battery capacity has gone up, though, with the Xiaomi 17T gaining a 6500mAh cell and the Xiaomi 17T Pro going all the way up to 7000mAh. The Pro model also gets 100W wired charging (up from 90W) and 50W wireless, while the Xiaomi 17T has to make do with 67W wired and no wireless charging.
Xiaomi 17T design, camera and pricing
Those large batteries are resulting in a pair of heavy phones, with the Xiaomi 17T tipping the scales at 200g and the Pro hitting 219g.
Both phones will ship in Blue, Black, and Purple.
Xiaomi has apparently packed in another triple Leica camera system, but this time the Xiaomi 17T’s telephoto camera gets a bump up to a 5x zoom, while the Pro gets a new Light Fusion 950 main sensor.
As for pricing, the Xiaomi 17T will reportedly land in Europe at €749 (about £649) for the model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The step-up 512GB model is expected to cost in the region of €799 to €849, though this isn’t known.
The Xiaomi 17T Pro with 12GB/512GB, meanwhile, will cost €999 (about £865).

That seems to be something of a price bump over the previous range, with the Xiaomi 15T launching at a mid-range €649, and the Xiaomi 15T Pro arriving at €749. How 2026.
Previous reports have suggested that Xiaomi could be set to shake things up with the launch window of its new T-series. One source in China claims that it’ll be released much sooner than the usual September/October slot, potentially as soon as May.
Given that the Xiaomi 17 series only arrived in the West in March (following a September launch in China), we’d assume this would be a China-only launch date, but we’ll see.
