The Xiaomi 17T is a value flagship phone that perfectly fills the gap between the expensive Xiaomi 17 Ultra and the compact Xiaomi 17. With a price tag of ₹59,999 and ₹64,999, it offers a genuine value proposition, making it hard to find a better phone around the ₹60,000 window.
The phone's camera is the highlight, retaining a fair amount of optical hardware and Leica Summilux optics, while not compromising on Leica image processing algorithms. The camera system features a 50-megapixel wide camera, a 50-megapixel telephoto with 5x optical zoom, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera.
The Xiaomi 17T's camera system does brilliantly for photographers, retaining a sense of the moment and offering excellent telephoto capabilities. However, some daytime and outdoor photos may be a bit brighter where the shadows should be.
Beyond the cameras, the phone features a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra chip, a 6.59-inch screen, and a 6500mAh silicon carbon composition battery. The phone feels well put together, with high-quality materials and a compact design.
The Xiaomi 17T is a versatile and brilliant phone that goes beyond being a value-oriented flagship Android phone. It offers no shortcomings in overall performance and solid battery stamina, making it a great option for photography-focused users.
