French bargain-hunting website Dealabs has dropped exclusive specifications and European pricing for the Xiaomi 17T phone series. The T-series has launched every single year between September and October without exception, going all the way back to the Mi 10T.
The new additions are reportedly launching around May 2026, roughly 4 months earlier than usual. Also, Xiaomi has skipped the 16th series to align its flagship naming and release cycle with Apple’s iPhone 17.
It's supposed to make comparisons easier and more immediate in marketing and media, positioning the Xiaomi 17 as a direct rival. Although there are no clear renders available, here's what to expect when they're out.
Meet the Xiaomi 17T
The standard Xiaomi 17T is more compact than its predecessor, with a 6.59-inch screen down from the 15T's 6.83-inch screen. It weighs 200g and measures 157.6 × 75.2 × 8.17mm. The display uses AMOLED technology with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
The processor is the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra, built on a 4-nanometer TSMC process. It's paired with 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB or 512GB UFS 4.1 storage.
Battery capacity has increased from the 15T's 5500mAh to 6,500mAh, with support for 67W wired charging. The phone's backside houses a triple Leica system. The main sensor is a 50MP Light Fusion lens, a 50MP lens with 5x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. The front camera is 32MP.
Meet the Xiaomi 17T Pro
The Xiaomi 17T Pro has a 6.83-inch screen with an increased 144Hz refresh rate. The processor is the flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9500 with peak core clocking at 4.21GHz.
The battery capacity is 7000mAh with support for 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. The main 50MP camera uses a Light Fusion 950 sensor with a slightly wider f/1.74 aperture compared to the 17T's Light Fusion 800.
The telephoto camera is the same as the base 17T model with 5x optical zoom. Both share the same 12MP ultrawide and 32MP front cameras. They'll also launch with Android 16 overlayed with HyperOS.

Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 17T Pro starts at €999 (≈ $1,166) for 12GB + 512GB. Both phones will appear in Blue, Black, and Purple. An exact release date has not yet been confirmed.
