Should I upgrade my phone to Xiaomi 17t or 15t?

Hi, I currently have a Poco x4 gt that I bought 4 years ago. The phone still works fine and I tried to prevent my phone from getting laggy by keeping enough storage on it however it's security update has ended last year and I use it for my banking app and NFC tap to pay.

I'm thinking if I should upgrade to either 17t or 15t as I do need a better camera, specs, security, and esim as I have events to go to this year, and might visit another country next year.

Phone prices:

17t 12gb + 512gb - $600

15t 12gb + 512gb - $490

Xiaomi 14 ($403) vs Xiaomi 15 ($599) - Is the 15 worth a $200 premium?

Hey everyone, looking for a compact flagship and I'm torn between two local deals right now.

Both phones are completely brand new:

Xiaomi 14: $403 USD

Xiaomi 15: $599 USD

The Xiaomi 14 is heavily discounted right now. Getting a brand-new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for ~$400 seems like an insane value.

On the other hand, the Xiaomi 15 has the Snapdragon 8 Elite and that massive 5400mAh silicon-carbon battery upgrade.

Since both are brand new, is the 15's better battery life and newer chip worth a $196 price jump, or should I just pocket the savings and grab the 14?

Mainly upgrading for the camera and flagship experience (coming from Poco F4).

17 Ultra battery drain

Just got the 17 Ultra global 2 weeks ago, and I've been noticing the battery drains faster than my previous Xperia 1 VII. I'm only doing basic browsing, Reddit, and YouTube for now. Most apps are on battery saver, and I've debloated all the unnecessary services and apps.

Any tips.

Should I Make the Switch?

I have been very curious about the Xiaomi 17 Pro for some time now but have only known iPhones. i'm not worried about learning a new system so much as I am worried about the minor things I come to love with my iPhone -- such as Apple Car Play wireless connection, iMessages, some apps that androids don't have, and I use Apple Music.

Does the 17 Pro have issues with connecting to cars wirelessly through Android Auto? I have a 2025 Camry currently. I think that is the biggest hold up for me personally.

Global Redmi Note 17 Series Launch Confirmed

Xiaomi has confirmed the Redmi Note 17 series will launch globally on August 27^(th). The flagship model being a Redmi Note 17 Pro Max with a 10,000mAh battery. Xiaomi Global Website.

Note 17 Pro Max: Snapdragon 6 Gen 5, up to 12GB/512GB, 6.83” 120Hz OLED, 10,000mAh, 100W, 22.5W reverse wired, 50MP OIS, 8MP ultra-wide, 32MP selfie, eSIM. GSM Arena Article.

With no antenna lines on Xiaomi’s ad video, it’s likely a plastic frame phone.

At least two other models are expected. Spec below is from GSM Arena website, and so is TBC

Note 17 Pro 5G: Snapdragon 6s Gen 4, up to 12GB/512GB, 6.83” 120Hz OLED, 8340mAh, 67W, 22.5W reverse wired, 50MP OIS, 8MP ultra-wide, 16MP selfie, eSIM.

Note 17 5G: Snapdragon 4 Gen 4, up to 8GB/256GB, 7.0” 120Hz OLED, 7700mAh, 45W, 22.5W reverse wired, 50MP, 16MP selfie, microSDXC support.

Pricing isn’t yet known, but are all expected to be more expensive than their Note 15 predecessors. The Note 17 Pro Max, which appears to be Note 15 Pro+ replacement, has a rumored retail of € 600. Any early bird launch discounts are not included in that rumored price.

The 17 Pro Max, also receives several after care, warranty benefits - One free screen replacement in the first 24 months, one free battery replacement inside the first 36 months. Exact T&C TBC.

The Note 17 Series is more than ever a cost saving exercise, and sadly I think their retail prices, will reflect higher component costs, even with some of the specification cuts. If 17 Pro Max pricing is accurate, it could look very costly next to Xiaomi's own Poco X8 Pro Max.

Problem with Xiaomi 17 ultra China Rom

I ordered the Xiaomi 17 Ultra via Tradingshenzhen. I switched the language to German using SetEdit. Most of it is in German, the rest is in English, which is not a problem. However, the Xiaomi Hyper AI is in Chinese and the Gallery app is in Tibetan. How do I change that?

Buying my new phone?

I am still hesitant about buying the Xiaomi 17T Pro. In the meantime, I know that on paper it is definitely much better than my current Samsung S23 Plus. What I am hesitant about? I read that almost all reviews on YouTube are paid reviews. So I don't think they are genuine. The things I read are about heating, battery, sound, and lag issues. I mainly use my phone to take photos occasionally, and spend a lot of time on it reading things, TikTok, YouTube, etc. I also play a lot of Pokémon Go, sometimes for several hours. I am especially worried about Pokémon Go. Will the phone get too hot? Will the battery drain quickly then (that is mainly the reason the S23 has to go)?

Hopefully, you can help me further.

Thanks in advance.

Got OIS working on GCam for Xiaomi 15T Pro (probably all Mediatek Xiaomi devices)

You just have to disable the marked setting (camera.ois_forced_photo_mode) in the developer settings, and suddenly OIS works. I can finally actually use an alternative to the default camera, praise be. Hope this maybe helps somebody eventually. :)

1 month with the Xiaomi 17T , here's my review.

Bought the Xiaomi 17T one month ago and I would like to share my expierence with it and give it a honest review.

Design and build quality(8/10)

The Xiaomi 17t comes with a plastic frame and a fiberglass back aswell as gorilla glass 7i, the plastic doesn't look nor feel cheap like Poco phones. The design is also not bad. The phone is very comfortable for me and is small enough so I could reach the whole keyboard one handed but large enough where I can touch everything without touching another thing. The only complaint I could have is that it doesn't have a aluminum frame.

Software and UI (7/10)

Xiaomi hyperos 3 has it's issues, but none that really impact user expierence unless your nitpicking. UI is nice , smooth and good, customization of the UI could be with more options. But that doesn't concern me, since there are thousands of themes for hyperos 3. The complaint here is that hyperos isn't as customizable as I'd like and that the software could be more optimized, but hoping that hyperos 4 will be better.

Performance and thermal regulation (7/10)

I would give it a 8/10 if it didn't like to run warm on moderately heavy use. Such as downloading a app, using the camera or doing all with cellular data instead of wifi. gaming performance is as good as can be expected from the 8500 ultra. it won't run all games at the highest possible frame rate but will handle anything you throw at it. And again heat is a problem that needs a solvent for this phone, it could be that it's a silicone case or just Xiaomi needs to do better with optimizing to they're phones. But everyday usage is smooth and snappy. No problems there.

Display and audio quality (9/10)

A very nice display that is compact enough to comfortable, has Xiaomi visioncare, 120hz and high bitrate colors, aswell as 460 ppi ,which i find very nice. Colors are nice and going out on a bright day outside, the display gets pretty bright and is easy to see. No complaints here.

The speakers are also pretty good, getting very loud and not distorting whatsoever while being at such a high volume. Speakers quality is on par with flagships.

There's really nothing to complain about here no problem here whatsoever.

Camera and video quality (9/10)

By far my favorite part of this phone , excellent portraits, excellent day photography and exceptional astrophotography for the price. Yes I only included the moon in the images I uploaded because the milky way pictures were too high of a resolution to fit in reddit. Very versatile ways of taking photos because of the 5x telephoto lens. But as I said this phone Takes amazing, vivid, detailed,sharp photos with ease.

Now the only reason I didn't put this at 10/10, is because of the video quality. It is good, but not the best I wanted a little more than this phone offered video wise but it's not bad by any means, and also the camera app is a bit laggy, that doesn't concern me but some might find it annoying.

Battery life (9/10)

With it's massive 6500mah battery, it can last a day easily , hitting 8 hours sot while at 120hz and cellular data. You can squeeze 2 more hours of sot on this phone with battery saver and could easily make it a 2 day phone. And charges fully with the 67watt charging brick. The reason I didn't rate this 10/10 is because it's not the best. It's very good and competes with top flagships but again. Not the absolute pinnacle. But still , very good.

Overall rating (8.1/10)

This phone is nearly unbeatable at the prices its going for right now, but again, it has it's issues and problems. Like the fact that Xiaomi can put more work in their software and thermal management, but I hope this will be fixed with hyperos 4. I Recommend this phone to anyone who wants a excellent camera, very good battery life and good performance. Oh as well as fast charging speeds.

How can I customise Xiaomi like this?

ok so im going to buy Xiaomi 17 in a few weeks and saw this on TikTok. I really liked this icons, clocks and AOD. But I didn’t found any guides on YouTube or some forums how to customise hyperOS to this. Do I need to use themes or use some external launchers?
