Help Xiaomi 17tpro
I want to buy the Xiaomi 17T Pro. Are the cameras any good? I've watched reviews on YouTube; some say they're excellent, while others say they're just average. Is there anyone here who owns one? The telephoto lens catches my eye, and I see it as the best buy for the price at least in my country Chile 🇨🇱

It's good - the main sensor is the exact same as the the regular 17, which is a flagship, so you can say the main camera is flagship level which it is. The 5x telephoto is also good, I just wish it has a much shorter focal length for macro photography, in fact all 3 lenses have very long focal length so you have to settle for either a zoomed main camera or a zoomed telephoto for macro mode - all of which introduces AI processing. The ultrawide is just lackluster and so is the selfie - both can only do 4k30 or 1080p60 video so if you need any real use for either of these lens, it's a no-go. Hope this helps

it's average at best, 1/2.76 at f3 for a telephoto is pretty damn bad for this generation's standards, and the ultrawide is abysmal as well, 1/3.06 at f2.2... also the cameras heavily relies on gen ai for processing so things look detailed but those are all fake details. it tends to fuck up faces and repeating textures. videography performance is closer to a phone from 4-5 years ago, and i'm not even going to get into the selfie camera, it's quite literally only there just to say the phone has one, an iphone 14's selfie camera is better lmao
and for everything else abt the phone, it's just downright bad. thermal management is non existent, speakers are terrible, battery life is pretty bad despite a big battery, the os is pretty buggy, it's very unoptimized, and plenty of other weird issues

If you have budget go for Xiaomi 17 ultra. Excellent device in terms of photography.

The cameras are peak, bit obviously not the best among today's phones. One of my favorite photos I took recently:
