New Delhi: Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi is set to expand its ‘T’ series lineup with the upcoming Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro. Ahead of their official global launch on May 28, key details regarding pricing, storage variants and expected specifications of both devices have surfaced online.
The leaks offer an early look at what consumers can expect from the new smartphones, which will succeed the Xiaomi 15T series introduced in 2025. While both models are expected to debut globally, only the standard Xiaomi 17T has been confirmed for launch in India on June 4.
Leaked pricing and storage variants
According to information shared by tipster Abhishek Yadav, the Xiaomi 17T is expected to be available in two storage configurations. The base model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage could be priced at around PHP 33,999 (approximately Rs 52,700). The higher variant with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage may cost PHP 37,999 (around Rs 58,900).
The Xiaomi 17T Pro, positioned as the premium offering, is tipped to start at PHP 45,999 (roughly Rs 71,400) for the 12GB RAM and 256GB variant. The top-end version with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage could be priced at PHP 47,999 (approximately Rs 74,500).
