Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro: New premium flagships are available globally via import
Xiaomi has just introduced a slew of new products, which landed shortly before Apple introduced the new Mac mini (curr. $599 on Amazon). Arguably, the highlights of these new Xiaomi releases are the following:
Unfortunately, none of these devices are available globally yet. Instead, Xiaomi is only offering them officially in China, which is also true of the recent Redmi Note 14 series. Based on past release cycles, Xiaomi may wait until early 2025 before offering the Xiaomi 15 or Xiaomi 15 Pro outside China.
However, importers like Giztop and TradingShenzhen are already offering the pair globally. Please note that these imported devices will come running Chinese software with Google Mobile Service and the Google Play Store pre-installed. Also, Xiaomi is unlikely to honour warranty outside China. With that being said, Giztop and TradingShenzhen provide their own warranty packages, details of which can be found on their websites.
As it stands, Giztop is the cheaper option for both models thanks to its $749 and $899 starting prices for the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro, respectively. By contrast, TradingShenzhen charges roughly at least $765 for the Xiaomi 15 and $927 for the Xiaomi 15 Pro. The latter may be more suitable for some markets than others, though. Seemingly, both websites will start shipping pre-orders in mid-November.
