Xiaomi 17 price slashed to Rs 59,999 in Amazon festive sale
Amazon's Great Indian Festival sale, starting 6 October, offers the Xiaomi 17 flagship smartphone at Rs 59,999, nearly half its launch price of Rs 89,999 for the 12GB+256GB variant. The 12GB+512GB variant, originally Rs 99,999, is also listed at a discount on the sale page, according to Aaj Tak.
In a separate move, Xiaomi has increased the price of the Xiaomi 17T 5G by Rs 5,000 across both variants, effective 1 October 2026. The 12GB+256GB model now costs Rs 69,999 and the 12GB+512GB model Rs 74,999, reports Prabhat Khabar. The company has updated the new prices on its official website and Amazon.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The two outlets cover entirely different products from the same brand. Aaj Tak leads with an Amazon sale deal on the Xiaomi 17, framing it as a spectacular half-price offer, while Prabhat Khabar reports a Rs 5,000 price hike on the Xiaomi 17T 5G, framing it as a consumer shock. Neither story acknowledges the other's event. A balanced reading requires treating them as independent developments: a discount on one model and a price increase on another. The only actionable takeaway is that both variants have new prices effective from 1 October and 6 October respectively, as stated in the sources.
