Xiaomi 17 series is scheduled to be launched in India in the second week of March. The upcoming lineup is confirmed to include two phones, the standard Xiaomi 17 and the flagship Xiaomi 17 Ultra. Both handsets were unveiled in select global markets last month, along with the Xiaomi Pad 8 and the Xiaomi Watch 5. Now, the company appears to be preparing to launch another smartphone as part of the lineup. Dubbed Xiaomi 17T, the phone is tipped to be launched in India by the end of next month at the earliest. The phone is expected to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series chipset.

While the company has yet to confirm the launch, this is in line with a previous leak that suggested that the Xiaomi 17T series, which is expected to include the Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro, could be unveiled as much as four months earlier than its predecessor.
