The imaging and video capture department represents without a doubt one of the major strengths of this new generation.

By combining Leica’s historic optical mastery with the image processing technologies developed by the Asian company, the entire series is equipped with a sophisticated rear triple-camera system.

The main sensor is 50 MP on both smartphones but it is not the same: the Pro variant features a generous Light Fusion 950 with a size of 1/1,31“, while the standard version relies on a Light Fusion 800 from 1/1,55″.

Both devices benefit from the optical design named Leica UltraPure, backed by a complex hybrid lens structure Leica Summilux that promises exceptional sharpness and extremely faithful rendering of details.

The wide aperture (f/1.7) also ensures a good depth of field and enables capturing a dynamically superior range compared to the past.

Rounding out the kit is an ultra-wide 12 MP camera with a 120-degree field of view, ideal for capturing breathtaking landscapes or group shots.

However, the real innovation for this product family lies in the inclusion of a Leica telephoto camera with 5x zoom on both Pro models.

This specific 50 MP sensor with optical image stabilization enables users to range creatively from macro photography to a close focusing distance of only 30 cm, up to an AI-controlled zoom capable of up to 120x magnification.

Regarding video recording with this lens, the flagship model introduces cinematic recording in 4K at 60 fps, delivering a natural background blur effect that is extremely pleasing to the eye. As if that weren’t enough, the Pro variant even supports capture of videos in ultra-high 8K at 30 fps.

The company then goes beyond mere image capture by introducing the Leica Live Moment feature, capable of capturing not only the perfect moment when the shutter button is pressed, but also the movements and fleeting emotions immediately preceding it.

Not just cameras

Both displays incorporate the advanced Xiaomi Vision Care technology, which automatically adapts to changes in ambient light to effectively manage blue light emissions and the pesky flicker, ensuring a relaxing and comfortable viewing experience throughout the day.

Thanks to these considerations, the two devices are among the first to achieve the prestigious TÜV Rheinland quadruple certification specifically for eye care and health.

From a purely technical standpoint, we are looking at bright AMOLED displays with 1.5K resolution, capable of reaching a peak brightness of 3500 nits. The most expensive model stands out for a large 6.83-inch panel with a refresh rate that goes up to 144 Hz, while the base version settles on a slightly more compact diagonal of 6.59-inch, still reaching 120 Hz.

From a pure design standpoint, the extremely thin bezels surrounding the screen enhance immersion in multimedia content, especially on the Pro model that flaunts borders of just 1.29 mm distributed symmetrically on all four sides of the front.

The protection against water and dust intrusion is ensured by the solid IP68 certification, present on both smartphones.

Looking at the color options, the Pro version is offered in the sophisticated shades Deep Blue, Deep Violet, and Black. The smaller sibling, designed for those who prefer superior handling and a reduced weight of only 200 g, is instead available in the finishes Opal White, Violet, Blue, and the timeless Black.

Under the hood, the performance is guaranteed by adopting the latest and most powerful hardware platforms from MediaTek. The Xiaomi 17T Pro is powered by the powerful Dimensity 9500 processor, a chip built with an ultra-advanced 3-nanometer manufacturing process.

On the contrary, the Xiaomi 17T relies on the excellent MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra processor, based on a 4-nanometer architecture.

These SoCs deliver tangible improvements across every single use case, from the most demanding multitasking to running complex video games, up to the complex operations powered by artificial intelligence.

Sono dunque due telefoni estremamente potenti a livello hardware, ma sarebbe comunque limitante parlare solo di numeri se non si considerano anche le altre doti che caratterizzano questa gamma.

To avoid unwanted overheating, the internal temperatures are kept under control by the Xiaomi 3D IceLoop cooling system, expertly designed to rapidly dissipate excess heat and keep the casings cool even after long sessions of intense use.

To render the technical picture even more exciting, a major step forward in autonomy has been achieved, made possible by the adoption of new silicon-carbon batteries that offer an extraordinary energy density without compromising long-term durability.

The flagship model of the range houses a massive 7,000 mAh battery, currently the largest ever integrated into a smartphone in the series destined for international markets. Not only that, it supports wired charging technologies HyperCharge at 100 W and wireless charging at 50 W.

While boasting a more compact and lighter design, the standard model does not sacrifice a respectable battery life thanks to a capable 6,500 mAh battery, paired in this case with 67 W wired fast charging.

In addition, both devices offer the convenient option of wired reverse charging up to 22.5 W, proving perfect for quickly charging earbuds or other small accessories in case of emergency.

Prices, availability and rich launch promotions

The company has rolled out an extremely aggressive promotional offer packed with benefits. The flagship Xiaomi 17T Pro starts at a recommended retail price of €899.90. This figure refers to the base configuration that includes 12 GB of fast memory RAM LPDDR5X and 256 GB of internal storage space UFS 4.1.

The most demanding customers when it comes to storage can still opt for the higher-end variants of 512 GB or as much as 1 TB of memory.

The most affordable Xiaomi 17T, offered with a similar starting configuration, is positioned on the market starting from €749.90, also offering an alternative version equipped with 512 GB of storage.

To celebrate the launch of the devices, highly attractive promotions have been planned for early buyers. The new smartphones are indeed available in a special bundled sale that includes a Xiaomi TV A Pro 32-inch television, whose market value is quantified at €169.99.

This advantageous package is available starting from €750.90 by purchasing through the manufacturer’s official website, via Amazon and at major brick-and-mortar consumer electronics stores.

As an alternative to this offer, those who prefer to tie the purchase to a tariff plan with mobile operators WindTre or TIM will have the option to join a different promotion that includes in the price a tablet Redmi Pad 2, whose value amounts to €199.90.

Oltre alle promo di natura hardware, i clienti avranno a disposizione anche un corposo pacchetto di servizi digitali in prova gratuita. Nello specifico, effettuando l’acquisto tramite i canali diretti, si otterrà un esclusivo coupon valido per l’attivazione di 3 mesi di abbonamento digitale alla piattaforma <strong Virgin Active Revolution, comprensivo di 3 ingressi fisici sfruttabili presso un club della nota catena di palestre.

Finally, multimedia entertainment and work productivity are further enhanced by additional promotional periods that include a 4-month trial for the advanced features of Google AI Pro, as well as 3 months of viewing video content without annoying ad interruptions thanks to the service YouTube Premium and, to end on a high note, 4 months of high-quality music streaming provided by Spotify Premium.
