Xiaomi 17T series is scheduled to be launched in select global markets on Thursday. Meanwhile, the tech giant will unveil the standard model in India early next month. A dedicated microsite for the debut of the handset recently went live in India. Now, the microsite has been updated to reveal more details about the Xiaomi 17T, including its chipset and battery capacity. The Xiaomi 17T will be powered by an octa core MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series chipset. This means that both the Xiaomi 17T series handsets will be powered by MediaTek SoCs, instead of the 3nm octa core Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, which powers the other models in the Xiaomi 17 lineup.

The dedicated microsite for the Xiaomi 17T has been updated to reveal that the handset will be powered by an octa core MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset. This particular SoC also powers the Redmi Turbo 5, which is also confirmed to launch in the country soon.

Apart from this, the tech firm has revealed that the Xiaomi 17T will be equipped with a 6,500mAh silicon carbon battery, while offering support for 67W wired fast charging via a USB Type-C port. Moreover, the display is claimed to ship with TUV Rheinland Low Blue Light, Flicker Free, Circadian Friendly, and Intelligent Eye Care certifications. The handset will also sport a hole punch display cutout for the front-facing camera.
