Verdict on the Xiaomi 15T Pro
The Xiaomi 15T Pro continues the strengths of the T series, combining high performance with an impressive camera and an extremely bright display. In terms of build quality, the smartphone impresses with its solid chassis and IP68 certification, while battery life has been greatly improved thanks to the larger battery and more efficient processor.
The collaboration with Leica ensures very good photos, even if the ultra-wide angle and digital zoom still show weaknesses. On the software side, Xiaomi scores with long update periods and new AI functions, but lags behind the competition when it comes to sustainability and repairability. The slow USB 2.0 port and the lack of an LTPO panel also deserve criticism.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
The Xiaomi 15T Pro can be purchased directly from the Mi Store, but it is also available from major electronics retailers such as Amazon and MediaMarkt. The smartphone launched globally in September 2025 with a starting price of around €799.99 (approximately $925 USD). Official US availability has not been announced, although the device can be found via third-party importers at comparable prices. Regional availability and warranty conditions may vary.

The Xiaomi 15T Pro is the larger sibling of the Xiaomi 15T and the successor to the Xiaomi 14T Pro. Last year's compact flagship from Xiaomi already stood out for its capable camera setup, developed in collaboration with Leica, a partnership that continues this year. With the Pro model, Xiaomi places a stronger emphasis on an improved telephoto lens, while also offering several other advantages over the 15T.
Specifications – Xiaomi 15T Pro
Case - Xiaomi 15T Pro is IP68 certified
The Xiaomi 15T Pro is available in black, grey and mocha gold. At 210 grams, it is not particularly light and has a thickness of just under eight millimetres (measured: 8.15 mm; including camera: 11.4 mm).
Xiaomi has redesigned the look, particularly around the camera module, giving the smartphone a more premium appearance. Build quality is good, and the aluminium frame feels solid. However, the transition to the fibreglass composite back is noticeable to the touch and slightly rough. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
When subjected to light torsion, the 15T Pro emits a faint creak yet maintains a solid overall impression. The SIM tray sits flush with the frame, and the smartphone is IP68 certified, ensuring dust and water resistance.
Features – only USB 2.0 for the 15T series
The Xiaomi 15T Pro is available in three configurations:
12 GB RAM / 256 GB storage | €800 (around $870 USD)
12 GB RAM / 512 GB storage | €900 (around $980 USD)
12 GB RAM / 1 TB storage | €1,000 (around $1,090 USD)
Apart from the internal storage, there are no differences between the models. Given the price range, we would have liked to see a faster USB port, but otherwise the feature set is almost complete. There is no support for UWB, although Auracast is included.
Software – six years of updates for the 15T Pro
The Xiaomi 15T Pro originally shipped with Android 15 and HyperOS 2.0, but by the end of our testing it had already received the update to Google Android 16 with HyperOS 3.0.
The new version not only introduces design refinements but also enables easier data exchange with Apple devices, adds the Hyper Island feature, enhanced AI functions, an improved gallery search, and more.
Xiaomi promises six years of security updates and five years of major OS upgrades.
Sustainability
Xiaomi does not provide specific information regarding the smartphone's sustainability. The device comes in largely plastic-free packaging.
User repairability is not supported, and the phone can only be sent in or taken to an authorised service partner for repair.
Communication and GNSS – Xiaomi smartphone with Wi-Fi 7
The Xiaomi 15T Pro features modern connectivity modules including Wi-Fi 7 and 5G, with extensive frequency band support across all regions. Mobile reception in urban areas is strong and leaves little to be desired.

Satellite acquisition outdoors is very fast and accurate, while indoors it takes longer but eventually settles on a precise position.
During a bike ride, we compared the Xiaomi 15T Pro with the Garmin Venu 2. At times, the smartphone's recorded track deviated slightly from the actual route, but there were no practical limitations for navigation tasks.
Telephony and call quality – with offline communication support
The Xiaomi 15T Pro supports two Nano SIM cards, one of which can be replaced with an eSIM. Features such as VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling are supported. A new addition is the offline communication function, which allows voice calls between compatible devices (currently limited to the 15T series) over distances of up to 1.9 km. However, a SIM card and Bluetooth must still be active, and the smartphone must be linked to a Mi account.
Call quality over the mobile network is very good when held to the ear, though loud ambient noise is not completely filtered out. The speaker mode also performs well, although the 15T Pro user's voice sounds slightly echoey.
Cameras – strong performance from the Xiaomi 15T Pro's setup
The high-resolution front camera of the Xiaomi 15T Pro does not use pixel binning, which results in comparatively large selfies that can reach up to 20 MB in size. However, this does not harm low-light performance, as Xiaomi refrains from excessive brightening. Under daylight conditions, the camera produces attractive photos, and videos can be recorded at up to 4K (30 fps).
The main camera was developed in co-operation with Leica and delivers good images. In close-up shots, however, care should be taken, as the automatic mode quickly switches to a bokeh mode, which can also lead to unwanted blurring. In low light, exposure times are relatively long (up to three seconds), but the results are good. The ultra-wide-angle lens (which also serves as a macro lens) shows weaknesses in both detail and edge aberrations. The zoom delivers good results but can appear somewhat artificial in the digital range.
Video recording is possible in 8K (30 fps) and Ultra HD at up to 120 fps. If you want to use all lenses, however, recording is limited to 4K/60 fps. Even in close-range video shots, we can observe a pronounced bokeh effect.

Accessories and warranty – optional Xiaomi Care
The Xiaomi 15T Pro comes with a dark gray silicone protective case, a USB cable (Type-A to Type-C), and a SIM tool. A compatible fast charger must be purchased separately in Europe.
The warranty in Germany is only 12 months, which does not affect the dealer warranty. Optionally, the Xiaomi Care insurance package can be taken out for two years, covering accidental damage (€89 / around $95 USD) or theft (€119 / around $125 USD).
Input devices and operation – 15T Pro with fast fingerprint sensor
The capacitive touchscreen comes with a pre-applied screen protector that offers decent gliding properties but scratches easily. The glass beneath it is far more durable and feels noticeably smoother.
An optical fingerprint sensor is integrated into the display, unlocking the smartphone quickly and with a high recognition rate. Face recognition via the front camera is also available as an additional or alternative option.
The linear vibration motor provides strong yet crisp feedback and can be adjusted in the settings.
Display – extremely bright AMOLED for the Xiaomi 15T Pro
The AMOLED display of the Xiaomi 15T Pro measures 6.83 inches (17.35 cm) and offers a 1,280p resolution with a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz. However, since it is not an LTPO panel, the refresh rate can only be reduced to 60 Hz.
Brightness is exceptionally high, reaching a short-term peak of 1,889 cd/m² in full-screen white (centre of the display) before dropping to 1,064 cd/m² after less than 30 seconds. On a smaller white area (APL18), the screen maintains a steady 3,269 cd/m², while HDR video playback reaches up to 2,868 cd/m².
According to the specifications, the 15T Pro uses DC dimming. Under the oscilloscope, however, it shows like the Xiaomi 15T that it actually relies on high-frequency PWM dimming. The panel is generally easy on the eyes, although sensitive users may still experience slight discomfort.

Outdoors, the Xiaomi 15T Pro makes an excellent impression, maintaining good legibility even in bright sunlight. Only reflections can become distracting when viewed from the side.
Viewing-angle stability is also convincing. At very shallow angles, a subtle greenish tint appears and brightness diminishes slightly.
Performance – Xiaomi smartphone with Dimensity 9400+
The Xiaomi 15T Pro uses a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ paired with 12 GB of RAM, providing smooth system operation and strong overall performance.
In the benchmarks, it delivers good results but lags slightly behind other devices with the same SoC, indicating early thermal throttling.
The Immortalis-G925 MC12 handles graphics processing, supports hardware-based ray tracing, and promises strong performance.
