Xiaomi Launches 17T Series in the Philippines: Leica 5X Telephoto and Massive 7000mAh Battery Take Center Stage

Alongside the smartphones, Xiaomi also rolled out a refreshed collection of AIoT wearables and Smart Tech home appliances to deepen its connected ecosystem.

Leica Optic Innovations & Live Cinematography

The standout upgrade for the Xiaomi 17T Series is the integration of a Leica 5X telephoto camera (50MP with OIS) on both models. The optics system covers everything from 30cm macro photography to an impressive 120x AI Ultra Zoom.

Triple Leica Camera Setup

• 50MP Main Camera (1/1.31" on Pro / 1/1.55" on Base)
• 50MP Leica 5X Telephoto Lens (OIS, 30cm Macro to 120x Digital Zoom)
• UltraPure Optical Design with 1G + 6P Hybrid Summilux Lens

Beyond static photography, the series introduces Leica Live Moment, a feature designed to capture the motion, context, and emotion building up to a shot. This dynamic imaging architecture applies consistent Leica aesthetics across all rear focal lengths.

For video creators, the Xiaomi 17T Pro exclusively features Ultra-HD Live Moment in 4K and advanced cinematic zooming techniques via Freestyle and Portrait Live modes.

Display Excellence & "Xiaomi Vision Care"

Xiaomi is prioritizing eye health with the debut of Xiaomi Vision Care, making the 17T Series the first to obtain the TÜV Rheinland Intelligent Eye Care certification. The display uses medical-grade parameters to automatically adjust to ambient environments, reducing blue light emissions, flickering, and motion blur.

• Panel Specs: Both devices utilize a clear 1.5K AMOLED panel pushing a peak brightness of 3,500 nits for outdoor visibility.
• Refresh Rates: The Pro model features up to a fluid 144Hz refresh rate, while the base version offers 120Hz.
• Sleek Aesthetics: The Pro version leverages LIPO packaging technology to deliver razor-thin, perfectly symmetrical 1.29mm bezels on all sides.

Next-Gen Silicon-Carbon Batteries and 3nm Internals

Xiaomi has implemented next-generation silicon-carbon battery technology to significantly bump capacities without bloating the physical size of the devices.

• Xiaomi 17T Pro: Features a massive 7000mAh battery (the largest ever for an international Xiaomi flagship), translating to roughly 1.88 days of standard use. It supports 100W wired HyperCharge and 50W wireless HyperCharge. It is driven by the ultra-efficient MediaTek Dimensity 9500 (3nm) processor.
• Xiaomi 17T: Houses a large 6500mAh battery paired with 67W wired HyperCharge. Under the hood, it runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra (4nm).

To keep performance sustained during heavy gaming sessions, both units are equipped with the Xiaomi 3D IceLoop System, a vapor-liquid separation thermal structure that rapidly channels heat away from the core chipsets.
