Xiaomi gives us our best official look yet at the 17T, reveals magnification of 17T series’ telephoto cameras

The Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro will be unveiled on May 28, followed by the 17T’s launch in India on June 4. Xiaomi already revealed the rear designs of the 17T and 17T Pro, and now its Indian branch has given us our best official look yet at the non-Pro model through a video clip on X.

The video, included in the X post embedded below, shows the 17T in the same color as before but reveals that the smartphone will pack a display with a centered punch hole for the selfie camera, corroborating previous design leaks.

Xiaomi’s global team also made a couple of posts on its official X account about the 17T series’ telephoto camera. The first post said the Leica 5x Telephoto camera will have a 115mm equivalent focal length and will be “standard on every model,” meaning the 17T Pro will also have one.
