Transform moments into living stories with The Telephoto Master and Leica Live Moment
Combining Leica optics with Xiaomi’s cutting-edge imaging technology, Xiaomi 17T Series features a triple camera system headlined by a 50MP main camera designed to capture crystal-clear images. Inside lies an ultra-large 1/1.31-inch sensor in Xiaomi 17T Pro and a 1/1.55-inch sensor in Xiaomi 17T. Both combine Leica UltraPure optical design with a 1G + 6P hybrid Leica Summilux lens structure, renowned for rendering fine detail with exceptional clarity. The large aperture across the series delivers superior dynamic range and beautifully rendered depth of field.
For the first time, Xiaomi 17T Series brings the Leica 5x telephoto camera to both models in the T series, redefining versatility across the lineup. It delivers 50MP images with OIS and exceptional range, from intricate details captured via 30cm macro photography to 10x optical-grade zoom and up to 120x AI Ultra Zoom. This enables seamless shooting from near to far, giving creators flexibility across focal lengths. Beyond photography, the telephoto system also enhances videography, particularly on Xiaomi 17T Pro, which introduces Xiaomi Series smartphones’ first 4K 60fps cinematic recording, delivering natural background bokeh for a more immersive visual experience. Specialized modes such as Stage further improve performance in complex lighting conditions across both photo and video, helping ensure concerts, performances, and other scenes are captured with clarity.
Moving beyond traditional still photography, Xiaomi 17T Series introduces Leica Live Moment, capturing not only the decisive instant, but also the motion and emotion that lead up to it. Leica Live Moment preserves movements and fleeting expressions, adding greater depth and context to everyday scenes. Supported across all rear camera focal lengths, Leica Live Moment delivers dynamic imaging infused with Leica’s signature aesthetic, ensuring a consistent visual style across perspectives. The result is more expressive, nuanced storytelling beyond a single frame, capturing emotion and narrative in every shot.
Leica Live Portrait extends this capability into Portrait mode, adding a natural bokeh effect that enhances subject separation while retaining the fluidity of motion. Newly designed exclusive Leica watermarks are available for Leica Live Moment captures, and multiple moments can be combined into shareable collages for social platforms.
