Xiaomi 17T Pro Review: A Deep Dive Camera Test in Vienna!

The Xiaomi 17T Pro is finally here. In this global review vlog, I headed to the official launch event in Vienna, Austria, to put the new Leica-powered camera system to the ultimate real-world test. From historic architecture and museums to a traditional horse carriage ride, we are testing how this budget-friendly flagship handles everyday photography and cinematic video. Xiaomi is calling this phone the "Telephoto Master," featuring a dedicated 5x periscope telephoto lens. We deep-dive into how the Leica partnership elevates image processing, delivering filmic photos with incredible character, rich color, and stunning contrast that outclass standard smartphone cameras. Beyond the camera, the Xiaomi 17T Pro packs premium flagship specs, including a massive 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, lightning-fast charging, and a beautiful 144Hz AMOLED display, powered by the flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor. The best part? It delivers a true flagship experience at a fraction of the cost of Apple or Samsung flagships. If you are looking for the best smartphone under €1000 with professional-grade camera quality, watch until the end to see the full photo and video samples! *Thanks to Baseus for sponsoring a portion of this video.
