Fast charging tips
Full speed (90–100 W) requires Xiaomi's own charger; standard USB-C chargers work but are slower. Turn on optimised charging, which pauses at about 80% overnight, and avoid heat while charging, since heat harms batteries more than fast charging does.
Buying advice
Pick the 17 Ultra for photos, the 17 or 17T Pro for value, and the 17T Pro for battery life. If you want the newest hardware, wait for the global 18 Pro launch. Avoid Chinese imports: missing bands, limited warranty and no Google services. Compare with the Pixel 11 or browse our Xiaomi section.
