Help me out on which one to choose!

I really like compact phones, but in my country the Xiaomi 17T Pro price is cheaper. I heard a lot of overheating issues with the Xiaomi 17, if it means spending more = more stress and risk, I will definitely avoid it. But I still am in doubt on which one to choose.

I don't game heavily, I'm just a casual user.

If you're a Xiaomi 17 user and you adored it, then help me not to be scared buying one, if it's the other way around, warn your brother out.

I have been using Redmi Note 13 pro + from 2023, the year it got released. Absolutely no problem, buttery smooth, battery life is not good though. But damn I have been using the HyperOS3 for 3 months now, it is genuinely the worst experience of my life. This thing is so unoptimized, my camera always "stopped working" when I try to open, it takes 1 full minute to actually load it. Imagine during the Xiaomi's MIUI 14 the battery life is already bad. Now using the HyperOS3, I use the phone from 6:30 AM fully charged, and it hits to 19% at 12:00 PM on light usage. I guess the 120W charging brick really helps. But this update feels intentional, I wish I could go back like how I want to go back to my ex.

Anyways, has anyone had the same experience as me? Especially Redmi users.

Thanks.
