Equipped with a high-end chipset, a camera system built by Leica and a beautiful high-refresh-rate AMOLED display with ultra-fast charging technology, it brings true flagship experience. Let's check its design, display, performance, camera, battery backup, price in Bangladesh, and value to see if the Xiaomi 17T Pro is worth the top tier. 

Box Content

This is what you get inside the Xiaomi 17T Pro box:

• Xiaomi 17T Pro Smartphone
• 100W Charger
• USB Type-C cable
• Silicone case
• User manual
• Sim Ejector Tool

Unbox Xiaomi 17T Pro and you're ready to go right away. The phone comes with a 100W fast charger, a USB-C cable, a transparent TPU protective case, a SIM ejector tool, and the usual paperwork inside. It's an adequate plug-and-play experience, particularly this charger. Of course, unlike with other prices, there's no need to make a special purchase on day one, either.

Design & Build Quality

The first thing you'll notice about the Xiaomi 17T Pro is that it really feels like a premium phone! The Gorilla Glass 7i front and glass back set against the aluminium frame all add to that solid and confident feeling you'd get in a handset at this price. It's not plastic-y, or cheap, at all.

The phone comes in three colours: Black, Deep Violet, and Deep Blue. Deep Violet and Deep Blue finishes boast a lustrous metallic finish that captures light beautifully. The black one is simple and neutral. All three look good and the back is not too messy either.

The 17T Pro is a big phone, there's nothing you can do about it.The 17T Pro is 162.2mm tall, 77.5mm wide and 8.25mm thin. Most will have to use both hands to do one-handed use. However, Xiaomi has managed to keep the edges rounded and the sides are micro curved, making it easy to hold despite its bulk.

Now the weight is 219 grams. It's noticeable. You will feel it after a long time of browsing or playing games. But most of that weight is due to the large 7000mAh battery cell onboard, so it's a compromise most users will be willing to make.

The IP68 rating indicates that the 17T Pro is completely dust-proof and water resistant for 30 minutes when submerged in water up to 1 metre. You can rest assured if you are caught in the rain or simply drop it by water, you don't need to worry.

In general, this is a well-made, handsome phone that feels as high-end as the phone looks.

Display

There is nothing special about this display, it is genuinely one of the finest at this price level and can hold its own with much higher-priced flagships.

You will be getting a huge AMOLED display measuring 6.83 inches and boasting FHD+ 1280×2772 resolution and 447 pixel density. When it's said in layman's terms, it's just very sharp and detailed-looking. The text is crisp, photos look vibrant and streaming video is a true pleasure to view on this screen.

The 144Hz refresh rate will make scrolling through and swiping through pages very smooth. All functions respond quickly and without lag or stutter, be it browsing social media, playing games or simply browsing the phone.

Then there's the brightness 3500 nits peak. That's seriously impressive. The screen is clearly visible even in the extremely harsh sunlight of Bangladesh.The screen is clearly visible in the extremely harsh sunlight of Bangladesh. While most phones flounder outside, the 17T Pro shines.

YouTube, Netflix, and streaming apps that support HDR10+ deliver significantly better-looking content, with richer, more saturated colours, more vibrant highlights and darker blacks, at least.

91.1% screen to body ratio with small, unobtrusive punch-hole cutout at the top centre. It's contemporary and engaging. Corning Gorilla Glass 7i also provides the screen with protection from daily impacts and scratches.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro is tailor-made for anyone who is passionate about watching content, playing games or simply wants a display that enhances everything. This screen is definitely one of the phone's best features.

Camera

The Xiaomi 17T Pro has a lot to offer people, and one of the most significant aspects is its cameras. Xiaomi has collaborated with Leica to optimize this triple camera setup, and it's certainly reflected in their real-world shooting.

The star of the show is the main 50MP shooter having an f/1.67 aperture. This large aperture allows for a ton of light to pass through, resulting in bright and clear photos even in challenging lighting situations. Daylight shots are great, sharp edges, accurate colors and dynamic range is awesome. Low-light performance isn't far behind either, as the OIS ensures stability and the large aperture draws in extra light.

Daylight Photo:

The Xiaomi 17T Pro is an excellent smartphone in the bright daylight. The primary 50MP camera delivers crisp, color-rich, and natural-looking photos. The colours are rich but not over saturated, quite true to the 'Leica' colour science that Xiaomi is well known for. Dynamic range is also superb, bright skies and dark shadows in a single shot look great without loss of detail in either.

Low-light Photo:

The low-light performance is really outstanding. The f/1.67 aperture on the main camera lets in a ton of light and Xiaomi's Night Mode processing does an amazing job of decreasing noise while maintaining textures. Photos taken in low-light environments, such as street shots, or interiors are bright, detailed and natural looking, not over-brightened as some competitors. The telephoto shoots pretty well in low light, too, though admittedly, the ultra-wide doesn't cope with the darkest conditions as well.

Next up is the 50MP periscope telephoto camera with f/3.0 and a huge 120x digital zoom. This is where the 17T Pro really comes into its own. The 5x optical zoom provides superbly crisp and detailed shots from a distance. With digital zoom extended to its full extent, it's possible to obtain usable, surprisingly sharp images at extreme distances, too. Perfect for wildlife, landmarks, or simply a moment in front of you — this camera can do it all.

The 12MP ultra-wide camera is ideal for landscapes, large group shots and architectural photos as it offers a 120-degree view. It works well in good lighting conditions, but is the least of the three in low light situations, where detail noticeably fades away from the main lens.

OIS works also well when you shoot handheld, both on the main camera and the telephoto camera. No blurring of the images, even with natural hand movements.

The 17T Pro is a real video instrument. The recording speed is also as high as 8K with 30 frames per second, a truly remarkable feature for a phone this price. Most users would probably end up at 4K 60fps for normal video usage, and the video is smooth, detailed and cinematic. You can also slow-motion at 1080p, which is great for creative shots.

The 32MP selfie camera with f/2.2 is nice and natural for taking selfies. The skin tones are accurate, there is decent exposure in daylight, and it produces 4K video at 30fps for video calls and vlogging. It will not impress you with the force of its impact, but it can hold its own for the day-to-day operation of your business.

Performance & Software

For those who want a phone that doesn't lag behind, Xiaomi 17T Pro is the ideal choice. The MediaTek Dimensity 9500, a 3nm-based cutting-edge flagship chipset, is located under the hood. The smaller fabrication not only is quicker but it's also power efficient, creating less heat whilst generating more. It has been revealed in daily life.

You'll get apps that open in no time, seamless multitasking, and no phone lag or hesitation, even with multiple heavy apps running simultaneously. The octa-core processor chipset with its high-performance 4.21 GHz prime core will ensure your phone can take on anything you might throw at it. The web browser, streaming, social media, video editing – everything is smooth sailing.

The 17T Pro is a terrific gaming device. The Mali-G1 Ultra MC12 graphics card is capable of running Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty at high settings without any hassle. With all this juice, and a 144Hz screen, everything feels incredibly responsive and fluid. The haptic feedback is also robust and accurate, providing a tactile sense of gameplay.

Given the effective 3nm framework, the mobile phone performs well throughout lengthy gaming or demanding utilization sessions without any issue. It gets slightly hotter as all powerful cell phones do, but not so hot as to be uncomfortable.

It's a very well done product running HyperOS 3 on the top of Android 16. The user interface is clean, smooth and highly customisable. Xiaomi's 5 years of major Android updates and 6 years of security patches should be a great long-term deal.

Some bloatware pre loads, but it is easily removed and is not significant for daily use.

Battery & Charger

The 7000mAh battery of the Xiaomi 17T Pro is just one of its strong points. Despite all the heavy entertainment it can handle, such as gaming, streaming, and photography, it's a big cell that will get most users through an entire day and far into the second.

When used in real-world situations, the 17T Pro is a true long haul workhorse. Light to moderate users will find they can go through 2 days on one charge. Users can use it for a full day, even on a daily basis, without having to rely on a charger.

If you do need to replenish, the 100W wired fast charging is pretty darn fast. Remarkable for a 7000mAh battery, the phone is able to go from 100% dead to over 50% capacity in about 30 minutes. A luxury feature, 50W wireless charging is superb for charging at a desk or overnight. There's also 22.5W reverse wired charging, which is a very useful feature as it means you can use the phone as a power bank for other devices.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro has a large battery, fast charging support, and wireless charging.The battery is quite big, has fast charging and supports wireless charging. For most people, battery anxiety simply won't exist with this phone
