There are countless impressive phones at almost every price point, but in 2025, the Xiaomi 15T Pro managed to stand out from the pack. It offered features that were almost unheard of in the sub-flagship/upper mid-range category, like an excellent 5x telephoto camera, 4K120 recording, and Log at up to 4K60.
Now, after only about 8 months, its successor has landed. I had such a good time with the previous model, I had my hopes up, but at least on the surface, the Xiaomi 17T Pro doesn't look much different.
