Xiaomi launched its 17T Series globally on May 28, 2026, followed by an official market release in Taiwan on May 29, featuring two models: the 17T and 17T Pro [1, 2, 3]. Both models include Leica co-engineered 5x telephoto periscope lenses, a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), and 12MP ultra-wide cameras across the lineup [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
The 17T Pro sports a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display capable of up to 144Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3500 nits. Its sibling, the 17T, has a slightly smaller 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and similar peak brightness [1, 2, 4]. Both displays became the first globally to earn the German TÜV Rheinland quadruple eye-care certification [2, 3, 4].
Performance-wise, the 17T Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 3nm chipset paired with 12GB of RAM and storage options reaching up to 1TB. The 17T uses the MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra 4nm chipset with 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage [1, 2, 4].
Battery capacity is large on both: the 17T Pro houses a 7000mAh silicon-carbon battery supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless fast charging, while the 17T includes a 6500mAh battery with 67W wired charging [1, 2, 3, 5]. The 17T Pro weighs about 219 grams, compared to 200 grams for the 17T [2, 5].
The series introduces Leica's Live Moment feature in portrait mode, capturing short dynamic videos with Leica’s signature style [1, 2, 6]. Additional conveniences for Taiwan users include Google Wallet support with iPASS virtual card integration for contactless Taipei metro use on the 17T Pro [2, 5].
In Taiwan, the 17T Pro is available in black, dark blue, and dark purple. The 17T comes in black, blue, and purple [2, 4]. Pricing starts at NT$22,999 for the 17T Pro 12GB+256GB version and NT$17,999 for the 17T 12GB+256GB model. Higher 17T Pro storage options reach up to 1TB priced at NT$27,999 [2, 4].
Xiaomi simultaneously launched related products in Taiwan, including the Mi Band 10 Pro and REDMI Neo over-ear headphones [2, 3]. A Leica Moment Studio experience event ran in Taipei from May 29 to 31 to showcase the new phones’ features [2, 3]. From June 1, FarEasTone Telecom will exclusively sell the 17T Pro 12GB+512GB version in Taiwan [6].
Xiaomi Taiwan director Liu Zhisheng said, “Phones are not just phones, but entry points to smart living. We operate three product lines locally—Xiaomi for flagship tech, Redmi for high value, and POCO popular with young users,” adding that Xiaomi aims to integrate wearables, digital products, and home appliances into every Taiwanese household [2]. Liu added, “Xiaomi's innovation is not just about specs but truly letting Taiwanese users enjoy the benefits of technology” [7].
