Xiaomi 17T (Pro) leaked
Soon we can expect new products from Xiaomi. Although an announcement date is still missing, it is already clear that the 17T series is imminent. Earlier, reports circulated that the manufacturer has brought forward the release of the T-series. Whereas it was previously held in October, there is now talk of an announcement in the coming weeks or months.
The Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro have been spotted in official images and the specifications are largely known, courtesy of Winfuture. What stands out? These devices take a big step forward, both in performance and battery capacity, although you pay a higher price for it.
The two models share many features, but there are also clear differences. The 17T has a 6.59-inch screen with a resolution of 2756 x 1268 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz, while the 17T Pro offers a slightly larger 6.83-inch screen with 2772 x 1280 pixels and 144Hz. Under the bonnet, you'll find the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra on the 17T, while the Pro version houses the more powerful Dimensity 9500.
Both devices feature 12GB of RAM and a storage capacity of 256GB (17T) or 512GB (17T Pro). The camera system is impressive: a 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel zoom camera with 5x optical zoom and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. The front camera counts 32 megapixels. The batteries are one of the biggest improvements. The 17T has a 6,500mAh battery, while the 17T Pro even comes with a 7,000mAh battery. Fast charging? You can do that with 67W with the Xiaomi 17T or 100W with the Xiaomi 17T Pro. Only the Pro also supports wireless charging up to 50W.
Recommended prices are higher than last year: the 17T starts at €749 (12GB/256GB), while the 17T Pro (12GB/512GB) costs €999. The 17T has a plastic body, the Pro a metal frame. That's a lot more expensive than the €650 the 15T cost at announcement and €800 for the 15T Pro. Our Xiaomi 15T Pro review was very positive, especially for the camera. That phone is now considerably cheaper.
Xiaomi Smart Band 10
Apart from smartphones, Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro is coming. This model is again in between a simple activity tracker and a smartwatch. The Band 10 Pro gets a 1.74-inch AMOLED screen in a rectangular body. This makes it more readable and practical for notifications than the standard version. The aluminium casing and water resistance of up to 50 metres will ensure that you wear it daily without worry, even while swimming.
According to initial info, the watch gets a battery life of up to 21 days with light use. This is about 10 days with using the Always-on display, and 8 days with heavy use. In terms of features, it remains familiar, Winfuture reports. There is heart rate monitoring, various sports and health modes, Bluetooth 5.4 and optional NFC for contactless payment. The price of the new watch is not yet known.
