Xiaomi 17T Review: In the smartphone market, Xiaomi’s ‘T’ series has always been the first choice for those who want flagship (expensive phone) features at a low price. Recently, playing its new bet, the company has launched Xiaomi 17T in India. This time Xiaomi has made some changes in this phone which were usually seen only in phones priced above ₹ 1 lakh.
If you are currently looking for an all-rounder phone in a budget of ₹ 60,000 with an amazing camera, never-ending battery and great performance, then this review is for you. Let us understand in very simple and straightforward paragraphs whether this phone is a value-for-money deal for you or not.
The first and biggest blast of this phone is its camera department. This time Xiaomi has joined hands with the famous camera company ‘Leica’. There’s a 50-megapixel main camera on the back of the phone, but the real magic is its 50-megapixel 5x periscope telephoto lens.
For the first time in this series, a periscope lens has been provided, with the help of which you can take very clear photos of a distant bird or a concert (stage show) without spoiling the quality. A 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera is also available with it. Whether it’s bright daylight or dark at night, the colors and tones of the DSLR make photos so beautiful that you won’t need any filters.
In terms of performance, this phone has been made a superfast machine. MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra processor is provided inside it, which works on 4 nanometer technology. Along with this, it has 12GB RAM and superfast UFS 4.1 storage.
In simple words, you can do any heavy gaming on this phone (eg. BGMI Or Genshin Impact) or run dozens of apps simultaneously, this phone does not lag or slow down even a bit. Along with this, it has been provided with Xiaomi’s latest HyperOS 3 software, which is quite smooth and seems very easy to operate.
Talking about the display, the phone has a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen, which comes with 120Hz refresh rate. Its screen is so bright (3500 nits peak brightness) that you will be able to see the screen clearly even in bright sunlight. The fun of watching movies or scrolling reels doubles because its colors are very vibrant.
For security, the screen has been provided with strong Gorilla Glass 7i protection, which protects the phone from breaking if it falls suddenly. Also, to keep the phone safe from water and dust, it has been given IP68 rating, which means it will not get damaged even in swimming pools with light water.
Now let’s talk about the biggest strength of this phone, which is its battery. Thinner phones usually have smaller batteries, but Xiaomi has fitted a massive 6500mAh silicon-carbon battery into its 8.17mm thin body. This battery is so powerful that even after heavy use, it lasts comfortably for two days.
To charge it, 67W hypercharge support is available in the box. Although the Pro model (17T Pro) has 100W charging, the speed of 67W is also very fast for a common user and it charges the phone quite quickly.
Talking about the price and verdict, the starting price of Xiaomi 17T in India has been kept at ₹ 59,999. At this price, this phone directly gives tough competition to the premium phones of OnePlus and Samsung. If you want a phone whose camera works exactly like professional cameras, the battery does not have to be charged again and again and the look is very premium, then this new smartphone of Xiaomi is going to prove to be the best and strongest option for you without any complications!
