Xiaomi has revealed the 15T and 15T Pro, two new mid-range phones in the brand’s long-running T series.

The 15T and 15T Pro follow the mainline Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Ultra launched earlier this year, and as is typical for Xiaomi’s T series the phones focus on photography and value for money.
The Xiaomi 15T Pro sports the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, and 12GB of RAM. Its 6.83-inch display features a 2772 x 1280 resolution and 144Hz refresh rate and up to 3200nits of brightness. The phone also has a 5,500mAh battery which supports 90W wired and 50W wireless charging.

As for cameras, the 15T Pro sports a triple camera system, with a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide camera, and 50MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. It’s rare to see a 5x telephoto camera on a mid-range phone.

The Xiaomi 15T Pro also supports video recording at up to 4K resolution at 120fps.
The standard 15T gets the MediaTek Dimensity 8400-Ultra chipset, 12GB of RAM, and the same 6.83-inch display as its Pro sibling, with a reduced refresh rate of 120Hz. It also gets a 5,500mAh battery with up to 67W wired charging, though it has no wireless charging support.
The 15T comes equipped with a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide camera, and 50MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom range. It comes in the Gray, Black, and Rose Gold color options.

Design-wise, the two new phones are very similar. Both feature an aluminum frame, fiberglass rear panel, and square camera housing with chamfered edges.
The Xiaomi 15T Pro starts at 799 Euros (approximately £700) for the model with 256GB of storage. The Xiaomi 15T starts at 649 Euros (approximately £570) for the model with 256GB of storage. We’ll update this article with detailed pricing and availability information as we hear it, though Xiaomi does not do business in the US.
The Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro launch alongside the brand’s latest mobile operating system update, HyperOS 3. This brings a handful of new software features to the 15T and 15T Pro, as well as the Xiaomi 14 and 14T series models.

HyperOS 3 adds the ability to access your Xiaomi phone on Mac or iPad, with real-time screen mirroring, as well as the ability to unlock multiple linked Xiaomi devices by unlocking just one phone or tablet.
Additionally, the new Xiaomi Offline Communication feature allows two 15T series phones to connect and communicate with no network connection at a range of up to 1.9km.
HyperOS 3 also adds new AI tools, like AI-powered device-wide searching, to AI-powered voice clarification for voice notes. Google Gemini features like Circle to Search are present as in previous generations, and both the Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro come with a three-month trial for Google Gemini Pro.
Xiaomi devices rarely make our list of the best Android phones due to their limited availability, but the Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro could be a solid choice for those looking for a great camera phone for less than typical flagship prices. Let us know what you think of the Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro in the comments below.
