Xiaomi’s new 17T line goes on sale across Europe with a battery-first pitch: the 17T packs 6,500mAh, while the 17T Pro carries a 7,000mAh cell—its biggest ever on an international Xiaomi phone.
That larger battery is paired with MediaTek chips and 12GB of RAM, underscoring the T-series focus on performance over photography; the Pro uses a Dimensity 9500, while the 17T gets an 8500-Ultra.
The 17T Pro adds a 6.83-inch 144Hz display, wireless charging and 100W wired charging, but both models trim camera ambition versus the standard Xiaomi 17 despite sharing a 50-megapixel 5x telephoto setup.
Pricing starts at €749 for the 17T and €899 for the 17T Pro, undercutting the €999 Xiaomi 17 as Xiaomi targets buyers who want larger screens and longer battery life for less.
