Overview

  • Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro debuted at a Munich event with shared 6.83-inch AMOLED screens and 5,500mAh batteries, but split on chips (Dimensity 8400‑Ultra vs 9400+) and cameras, starting at roughly €650 and €800.
  • Charging tiers diverge as well: 15T offers 67W wired, while 15T Pro adds 90W wired and 50W wireless; both have IP68 ratings and ship without a charger.
  • Early reviews praise Leica-tuned imaging and hardware polish on the 15T Pro but note HyperOS 2 based on Android 15 and no stated timeline for an Android 16 update.
  • In China, Xiaomi announced the 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, batteries up to 7,500mAh, and a secondary rear OLED on Pro models for viewfinders, widgets and media controls.
  • The 17 series is open for preorder in China with sales starting September 27, priced from ¥4,499 for the 17, ¥4,999 for the 17 Pro and ¥5,999 for the 17 Pro Max, as the company skips the '16' name, drawing comparisons to Apple.
