Chipset and core hardware
As per the leak, the Xiaomi 17T Pro is expected to be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset. The phone is said to feature an X-axis linear motor, dual symmetrical stereo speakers, and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. These would be changes compared to earlier T-series models, which have largely relied on optical fingerprint sensors.
Battery and charging
Battery capacity appears to be one of the bigger changes this time. The Xiaomi 17T Pro is also tipped to come with an 8,500mAh battery. This would be a clear increase over the previous model. The phone is said to support 100W wired fast charging as well.
For reference, the Xiaomi 15T Pro launched with a 5,500mAh battery and supported 90W wired charging.
Durability and build
The leak also points to stronger dust and water protection. The Xiaomi 17T Pro is said to feature both IP68 and IP69 ratings. An IP69 rating is still rare on smartphones and indicates resistance against high-pressure water jets, in addition to standard dust and water protection.
This would be an upgrade over the IP68 rating seen on the previous T-series Pro model.
Display and cooling
Details around the display are still limited. The leak only mentions that the phone will feature a high-refresh-rate screen. It also claims that the device could include built-in cooling fans, which would help manage heat during longer usage sessions.
Xiaomi 17T Pro launch timeline
The Xiaomi 17T Pro reportedly appeared in the IMEI database last year alongside the Xiaomi 17T. The listing points to a February 2026 launch window. Some reports also suggest that the phone could be introduced globally as a rebranded version of the Redmi K90 Ultra.
