In a post on X, the smartphone maker has confirmed that the upcoming Xiaomi 17T Pro will be powered by the flagship octa core MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, which is built on a 3nm process.

On top of this, the company has announced that the Xiaomi 17T Pro will be backed by a 7,000mAh silicon carbon battery.

We already know that the Xiaomi 17T Pro will be launched in select global markets on May 28, along with the Xiaomi 17T. The smartphones are teased to be equipped with a Leica-tuned triple rear camera setup, housed inside a square-shaped deco. The Pro model will be offered in at least a Deep Blue colourway, while the standard Xiaomi 17T model will go on sale globally in at least a Violet shade.

In India, the Xiaomi 17T will be launched on June 4 as the first T series handset to arrive in the country in more than four years. The phone is confirmed to go on sale in the country via Amazon. It will be equipped with a telephoto camera on the back, which will deliver up to 5x optical zoom, up to 10x “optical quality” zoom, and up to 120x digital zoom, enhanced by AI.
