The Xiaomi 17T Pro price in Kenya is KES 92,800, with a 2-year warranty included. Announced on May 28, 2026, the Xiaomi 17T Pro is Xiaomi's latest flagship-tier T-series smartphone. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 on 3nm with Xiaomi's 3D IceLoop thermal management system for sustained performance, carries a Leica-co-engineered triple camera system led by a 50MP main sensor on a large 1/1.31-inch cell with OIS and a 50MP 5x periscope telephoto with OIS, records 8K at 30fps and 4K at 120fps in 10-bit Rec.2020, and packs a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Display:

The Xiaomi 17T Pro carries a 6.83-inch AMOLED display at 1280 x 2772 pixels (447 ppi) running at 144Hz with a peak brightness of 3,500 nits, 3840Hz PWM dimming, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ support. The 3840Hz PWM dimming is exceptionally high and one of the strongest specifications available for display eye comfort in any phone at this price. Gorilla Glass 7i covers the front panel. The 3,500-nit peak ensures visibility in all Kenyan outdoor lighting conditions.

Battery & Charging:

The Xiaomi 17T Pro carries a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with 100W wired charging (100W PPS, PD3.0, QC4), 50W wireless charging, and 22.5W reverse wired charging. The Si/C cell delivers two full days of typical daily use and extends to multi-day endurance for lighter users. 100W wired charging restores the 7,000mAh cell in approximately 35 to 40 minutes. 50W wireless charging is faster than most competing wireless charging implementations at this price. Reverse wired charging at 22.5W turns the 17T Pro into a power bank for other phones and accessories.

Triple Leica Camera: Sensor Details

• 50MP main camera: (f/1.7, 23mm, 1/1.31-inch, 1.2µm, OIS, multi-directional PDAF), the 1/1.31-inch sensor is large and captures substantial light per pixel for excellent daylight, portrait, and low-light results. The f/1.7 aperture is wide for strong low-light exposure. OIS stabilises handheld photography and video. Records 8K at 30fps, 4K at 30/60/120fps, and 1080p up to 960fps for extreme slow motion. The Light Fusion 950 sensor technology processes colour and dynamic range from the large cell
• 50MP 5x periscope telephoto: (f/3.0, 115mm, 1/2.76-inch, OIS, PDAF, 5x optical zoom, minimum focus 30cm), 5x optical delivers true long-distance photography and flattering portrait compression at 115mm equivalent focal length. OIS stabilises the periscope optical path. Minimum focus of 30cm enables close telephoto detail photography. The 5x zoom range covers portraits, travel photography, wildlife, and event photography scenarios effectively
• 12MP ultrawide: (f/2.2, 15mm, 120 degrees, 1/3.06-inch), covers wide group shots, architecture, and landscape photography. The 12MP resolution is the weakest of the three lenses, which is a consistent limitation of the 17T series. Adequate for everyday wide photography
• 32MP selfie camera: (f/2.2, 21mm, 1/3.44-inch), records 4K at 30fps with HDR10+. Leica-calibrated for portrait photography from the front camera
