Xiaomi 17T review – Almost flagship, almost worth it

The Xiaomi 17T is an easy phone to like. It delivers a fantastic AMOLED display, dependable performance, impressive battery life, and a Leica-backed camera system that rarely disappointed us. The trouble is that it's priced like a flagship without quite feeling like one. At nearly R20,000, the compromises are harder to ignore, especially when stronger alternatives exist at a similar price.
