The 17T Pro isn't too different to what we got last year, but a bigger battery and tweaks to the camera tuning mean you get a better overall phone. It costs a little too much at launch, but if you're willing to wait a month or two, it is a good option to consider.
- Android Police 7/10
The Xiaomi 17T Pro's battery life impresses, helped by the performance and efficiency of the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip, plus the camera can take fun photos with vivid colors. However, Xiaomi's decision to launch the phone so soon after the last one is still questionable.
