Reviewing the Xiaomi 17T vs the 17T Pro, to see which T-Series smartphone is best for camera fans, gamers and more demanding users. I've tested the Xiaomi 17T and the Xiaomi 17T Pro as my full-time phone, so here's how they compare. Check out my full review of that Pro model for more on that almighty powerhouse.
Both of these handsets sport a Leica branded camera, while the regular Xiaomi 17T now boasts a 5x telephoto camera, just like its sibling. However, they do use alternative Light Fusion sensors for the regular 'wide' camera, so you can expect different results.
A few of the other specs are also different. Battery capacity is bigger on the Xiaomi 17T Pro, so does that also mean longer life for everyday shenanigans, gaming etc? Speaking of games, I've done a lot of testing with Wuthering Waves - so here's how the Xiaomi 17T compares vs the Pro.
Both smartphones serve up the latest HyperOS software, and you can expect top notch display tech - but how's that stereo speaker setup?
Let us know which you think you'd prefer - the more compact and cheaper Xiaomi 17T, or the Pro version? Let us know below!
