Xiaomi 17T Pro Leak Reveals €999 Price, 7,000mAh Battery and a Flagship Problem

Reports citing leaked specs and pricing point to Xiaomi's 17T Pro launching in Europe at €999, with the regular 17T coming in at €749.

The details also hint at pricing creeping up toward flagship territory, rather than holding back in the more affordable bracket.
