Summary

  • £649 is the new price for Xiaomi’s 17T Pro on Amazon and Xiaomi’s own store, down from £799 in a 19% discount less than three months after launch.
  • The cut brings the May-released phone further below many flagship Android rivals, sharpening Xiaomi’s pitch as a near-flagship option at a lower price point.
  • Key selling points include Leica-tuned cameras with 50MP main and 50MP periscope sensors, a 7,000mAh battery, and 100W wired charging that can refill it past half in about 30 minutes.
  • MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chip, 12GB of RAM and a 6.83-inch 144Hz AMOLED display round out a package reviewers described as a strong all-rounder despite some software annoyances.
