Xiaomi 17T Will Launch in India With Dimensity 8500 Series SoC; Key Specifications Confirmed

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.
