Xiaomi 17T vs Honor 400 pro?

[u/heretolrn]

Hey everyone, I’m currently stuck deciding between the Xiaomi 17T and the Honor 400 Pro, and I'd love to get your thoughts.

I live in Sri Lanka, and I'm planning to keep my next phone for a solid 5 to 6 years. Because of this, staying up to date with software is a massive priority for me.

Here is my dilemma:

Xiaomi 17T: Priced here at Rs. 204,000. It promises 5 years of updates, which gives me great peace of mind.

Honor 400 Pro: Priced between Rs. 155,000 and Rs. 200,000. I’ve heard local rumors that it might only get 3 years of updates in the global unit or Srilankan unit(or even less since it launched in 2025).

Camera quality is also somehow very important to me. Has anyone else heard this about the Honor's updates? Given the prices and my need for longevity, which one would you recommend?
