EDITORIAL: This year, Xiaomi is all-out after Apple. Not only did it skip the 16th gen and name their flagships to match Apple's 17th gen - they also matched the design too. Except, instead of just offering a "plateau" bump across the upper back of their Pro phones, Xiaomi put a second screen there. Both back and main screens match in brightness and Dolby Vision certification and allow you to take selfies with back cameras. Otherwise, 17 Pro upgrades on last year's (China only) 15 Pro with better processor, faster memory, bigger battery size and charging speed, higher screen PWM dimming rate, water immersion depth, selfie with a PDAF, new OS and even added Dolby Atmos speaker certification.
PROs
compact, great new design with a large and bright back screen, fast SD Elite 8 Gen 5 processor with UFS 4.1 performance, 36hr endurance from a 6300mAh battery with sub-50min 100W (50W wireless) charging. 2 <1300 bright LTPO AMOLED screens with 120Hz refresh >2000Hz PWM and HDR10+ and Dolby Vision tech, IP68 protection (up to 4m water immersion for 30 min), excellent imaging from the 50MP 23mm OIS main and 50MP 17mm ultrawide (both with PDAF), excellent new 50MP 21mm PDAF selfie, HyperOS 3.0 with 4 years of updates, fast USB-C 3.2 port with Video-out and screen sharing with PCs or Macs
CONs
could end up China-only, sub-1300nits on both screens, only okay 50MP 115mm periscope telephoto performance, no SDmemory, no desktop replacement feature, China only

EDITORIAL: As usual, Xiaomi T series are not-quite flagships. This one shines at raw power and endurance, has two excellent cameras for day and night photography (the main and periscope telephoto) and comes in a lovely build (tho big) package. It is too bad that Xiaomi refuses to upgrade the 12MP ultrawide and 32MP selfie or at least give them auto focus but otherwise this is a very good phone if you can get it at a good price.
PROs
flagship build glass sandwich with aluminum frame, very fast Dimensity 9500 with UFS 4.1 performance, excellent >42hr endurance from a 7000mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min 100W (50W wireless) charging, 450ppi AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision and high PWM dimming rate, IP68 protection, excellent 50MP 23mm main + 50MP 115mm periscope telephoto (both with OIS PDAF) + good 12MP 15mm ultrawide setup, up to 5 years of stabile and feature rich OS updates
CONs
sub-1100nits screen brightness, no AF on ultrawide or selfie, average selfie performance, average video recording, slow USBC 2.0 with OTG but no Video Out, expensive at lounch
