Leica cameras and 120x zoom on Xiaomi 17T
Signed by Leica, the rear set combines a 50 MP main sensor, 50 MP telephoto lens, and 12 MP ultrawide camera, forming the main bet of the Xiaomi 17T for mobile photography.
According to the Xiaomi specifications, the telephoto lens features optical stabilization, a focal length equivalent to 115 mm, and 5x optical zoom, a feature aimed at more distant scenes without immediate loss of framing.
To extend the reach, the brand includes the AI Ultra Zoom, a function that takes digital zoom up to 120x with the support of artificial intelligence processing.
Although it does not replace optical zoom, the feature allows capturing more distant objects and reinforces the device’s proposal to compete for attention among users who prioritize the camera on their phone.
Another novelty is the Leica Live Moment, a mode that captures moments of movement before and after the click, following a logic similar to animated photos.
With this function, the user retains visual elements associated with the partnership with Leica, such as filters, portrait styles, and watermark, without relying solely on a static image.
AMOLED Screen of 3,500 nits and 6,500 mAh Battery
On the front, the 6.59-inch AMOLED display offers a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz and a peak brightness of 3,500 nits, according to specifications released by Xiaomi.
To reduce discomfort during prolonged use, the panel integrates Xiaomi Vision Care, a set of adjustments that act on brightness, blue light, flickering, and blurring under different viewing conditions.
The 6,500 mAh battery uses silicon-carbon technology, a solution adopted to increase energy density and allow more charge without significantly increasing the space occupied in the device.
Fast charging reaches 67 W, while wired reverse charging reaches up to 22.5 W, a feature that can power compatible accessories in specific situations.
In terms of performance, the Xiaomi 17T uses the MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra chip, manufactured using a 4-nanometer process and aimed at tasks with higher graphic demands.
The platform works with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage, a combination aimed at multitasking, gaming, and AI-based image features.
Xiaomi 17T Becomes More Compact and Targets Premium Segment
Compared to the previous generation mentioned in the launch material, the Xiaomi 17T has become more compact and now targets users who prefer smaller devices without giving up a large battery.
This change also brings the standard version closer to features previously associated with Pro models, especially due to the presence of the periscopic lens and greater zoom range.
In previous generations, Pro versions tended to concentrate more camera features, while standard models maintained a less advanced approach in this regard.
Now, the T line emphasizes photography, autonomy, and high-brightness screens as central arguments to compete among premium smartphones sold in Brazil.
The front camera has 32 MP, according to the data released by Mundo Conectado, and is suitable for selfies, video calls, and recordings for social media.
In video, the device features 4K recording, audio features with artificial intelligence, and modes aimed at scenes with more complex lighting.
Watch S5 Expands Xiaomi’s Ecosystem in Brazil
Along with the phone, Xiaomi introduced the Watch S5 to the Brazilian public, expanding the brand’s strategy beyond premium smartphones.
The smartwatch is described as a more refined design model, with a visual proposal close to traditional watchmaking and a promised battery life of up to 21 days.
With the launch, the company seeks to strengthen its official ecosystem in the country and offer connected accessories for users who already consider the brand’s products.
Even so, the complete specifications of the Watch S5, the national price, and detailed availability have not been securely confirmed by the two external sources used for verification.
Among Leica camera, larger battery, and robust technical specifications, the Xiaomi 17T arrives to compete for space with premium smartphones sold in Brazil.
In practice, will the combination of camera, autonomy, and price be enough to convince those who currently consider an iPhone?
