Xiaomi’s next “T” series smartphones may have quietly appeared in the IMEI database, listed under model numbers 2602EPTC0G and 2602EPTC0R. According to XiaomiTime, these are likely the Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro.
The “T” lineup has typically served as the global counterpart to China’s Redmi K series, and they usually launch in the latter part of the year. For instance, Xiaomi only launched the 15T series in late September 2025, and now its successors are already appearing on certification sites.
Xiaomi 17T series might launch in February
However, it remains unclear whether Xiaomi will refer to the device as the 16T or 17T. The company skipped the number 16 for its flagship lineup and jumped straight to the 17 series to align with the iPhone 17 series.
Since the T series is a lower-tier alternative to its main flagship line, Xiaomi might also adjust the naming convention for these next models.
More interestingly, XiaomiTime notes the “2602” prefix in the model numbers could mean a release in February 2026. Much earlier than usual T-series phones, if true. Last but not least, internally, the devices are said to carry the codenames “chagall” and “warhol.”
The report also suggests that the Xiaomi 17T could be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 chipset, while the 17T Pro may use the higher-end Dimensity 9500. In comparison, the 15T and 15T Pro have Dimensity 8400 and Dimensity 9400+ SoCs.
Though details remain limited, the early certification appearance suggests the next generation of Xiaomi’s “T” lineup is already in motion. We will keep you in the loop if we learn more details about it.
