Xiaomi has officially launched the Xiaomi 15T Pro, bringing flagship-grade camera features and high performance to a midrange price bracket. The device stands out with its 5× periscope zoom, Dimensity 9400+ chipset, 144 Hz OLED display, and a strong battery and charging mix. (According to Notebookcheck and Android Authority)
Cutting-Edge Specs & Features
At the heart of the Xiaomi 15T Pro is MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ chip, paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and storage options up to 1 TB UFS 4.0. The 6.83-inch OLED display supports a 144 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and a peak brightness of around 3,200 nits. The display uses Gorilla Glass 7i for protection.
On the imaging side, the 15T Pro features a triple camera setup with a 50 MP main sensor (Light Fusion 900, OIS), a 12 MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50 MP telephoto with 5× optical zoom. This is the first T-series Xiaomi phone to include a periscope telephoto. Video recording capabilities include 4K at 60 fps and HDR10+ support.
Battery life is robust thanks to a 5,500 mAh battery, with support for 90 W wired and 50 W wireless charging. The phone also offers reverse wireless (wireless charging outward) capacity.
Other notable features include offline communication (direct device-to-device voice calling without network) for ranges up to 1.9 km, support for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, dual eSIM/nano-SIM configurations, and IP68 dust/water resistance.
Positioning & Pricing
Xiaomi positions the 15T Pro as a “near-flagship” offering — offering many high-end features without the premium price of the top lineup. In Europe, the starting price is set at €799 for the 12 GB + 256 GB model. Higher storage variants (512 GB, 1 TB) follow at higher price tiers.
Though it competes with flagship devices, some reviewers caution that the Xiaomi 15T Pro could feel overshadowed soon, as Xiaomi’s 17 series is expected to arrive shortly.
Why the 15T Pro Matters
The Xiaomi 15T Pro is significant because it brings features—like a 5× periscope zoom and wireless charging—to a category often defined by compromises. Previously, T-series phones focused heavily on affordability, sometimes at the cost of premium capabilities. With this launch, Xiaomi is blurring that distinction.
Camera enthusiasts benefit greatly from the telephoto upgrade and the ability to shoot detailed distant subjects. Content creators and mobile photographers will find the main + wide + telephoto combination compelling. The strong battery and fast charging ensure that demanding users won’t compromise on uptime.
Furthermore, the offline communication feature is a novelty in its class, allowing devices to “talk” without network coverage—a potential draw for travelers, hikers, or people in low-signal zones.
Challenges & Considerations
While the 15T Pro offers a promising spec sheet, potential drawbacks include:
- Charging trade-off: 90 W wired is competitive but not best-in-class; some rivals surpass this.
- Software and support: It ships with HyperOS (based on Android 15), but long-term software update commitment remains under watch.
- Network compatibility: In markets like the US, Xiaomi’s limited official presence means users might need to import and check band support.
- Competition timeline: With the Xiaomi 17 series nearing release, early adopters might feel pressure to wait for the next flagship.
