Last month, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 15T and Xiaomi 15T Pro flagship phones for the global market. The company has been updating its T-series flagship around August or September every year. However, a new development suggests that the launch of the next-generation models could be only around six months away.
Xiaomi 17T, Xiaomi 17T Pro key details emerge
XiaomiTime has spotted the Xiaomi 17T series in the IMEI database. This indicates that the company will skip the Xiaomi 16T branding, just as it skipped the Xiaomi 16 series for China this year.
As per the IMEI database listing, the Xiaomi 17T’s global version has the model number 2602DPT53G, whereas its Indian edition has the model number 2602DPT53I. This indicates that the brand could be planning to bring back the T-series flagship to India after the Xiaomi 11T series, which debuted in 2021 in the country.
The IMEI database listing has also revealed that the Xiaomi 17T Pro’s global edition has the model numbers 2602EPTC0G and 2602EPTC0R. This one does not have an Indian version.
The “2602” numbers in the above-mentioned models indicate that Xiaomi could be planning to globally launch the Xiaomi 17T series in February 2026. Early speculations suggest that the Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro could be powered by the Dimensity 8500 (upcoming) and Dimensity 9500 chipsets, respectively. These are also expected to be among the first global Xiaomi devices to arrive with HyperOS 3 onboard.
In related news, Xiaomi has just launched the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max models in China. In the first half of 2026, the company is expected to announce the Xiaomi 17s Pro and 17 Ultra in China. Among these devices, only the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Ultra are expected to debut globally next year.
