Xiaomi 17T Review: If you have even a little understanding of the world of mobile tech, then you would know that Xiaomi’s ‘T’ series has always been made for those who want flagship (expensive phone) features for less money. This year also the company has made its new bet in the market – Xiaomi 17T.
There is a lot of buzz on social media and YouTube about this phone. But should you really invest your hard-earned money on this phone? Is its camera really like a DSLR? Let us understand in simple and native language, without any technical jargon, how this phone will work for you.
Xiaomi 17T Review: Design and display
First of all, let’s talk about how the phone feels when held in the hand. The back panel of Xiaomi 17T this time comes with a very premium and glass finish, which makes it feel like a very expensive phone.
Display: In this you get a very beautiful AMOLED display which comes with 144Hz refresh rate. In simple words, when you scroll reels, play games or watch a movie on it, the screen will run so smooth that you will enjoy it.
Visibility in sunlight: The brightness of its screen is so strong that even in bright sunlight, you will be able to see everything clearly on the screen, there will be no need to squint your eyes to see.
Xiaomi 17T Review: Performance
This year’s latest processor is installed inside the phone. Even if you do heavy gaming (like BGMI or Genshin Impact) or use 15-20 apps simultaneously in a day, this phone will not lag at all.
Multitasking: Apps open in the blink of an eye and remain the same even in the background.
Heating problem: The phone does get a little lukewarm when gaming for a long time, which is normal, but it does not heat up and lag (hang).
Xiaomi 17T Review: Camera
This time too Xiaomi has paid a lot of attention to the camera. On its back you get a triple camera setup, in which the main camera is 50 megapixels.
Dia de: If you take photos while walking outside or in sunlight, the colors come out absolutely true and sharp. You will not need to apply separate filters to post on social media.
In the dark of night (Night Mode): Even in low light, its night mode captures a lot of light, due to which there is very little noise in the photo.
Video: Its stabilization (OIS) is very good. This means that even if you make a video while walking or running, the video will not shake, rather it will be stable.
Xiaomi 17T Review: Battery and Charging
In this phone you get a big battery of 5000mAh.
How much will it last: If you are a normal user (social media in the morning and evening, a few calls and YouTube), then this battery will comfortably last for one and a half days. Even with heavy use, it will not leave you from morning till night.
Charging Speed: Xiaomi has provided a very fast charger inside the box. It charges the phone from zero to full in just 20 to 25 minutes. That means by the time you get ready and drink tea in the morning, your phone will be charged for the whole day.
Where is the little thing left?
A true review is one that also points out the shortcomings. There are two small shortcomings that bother us about this phone:
Bloatware: As soon as you turn on the phone, you will see some apps which you may not need. However, the good thing is that you can uninstall (remove) them.
No headphone jack: Like all premium phones these days, it also does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack. You will have to use wireless buds or connectors.
conclusion
Xiaomi 17T is a perfect all-rounder phone for those who want a phone that is number one in every aspect in the budget of ₹40,000 to ₹45,000. Its display is great, performance is strong, camera is excellent and charging is superfast.
If you don’t want to spend ₹80,000 on very expensive iPhone or Samsung phones, this phone will give you the same premium feel at half the price!
