The Xiaomi 15T Pro has leaked in a real-life video, revealing key design details and a spec sheet that confirms its place as a serious contender in the high-end mid-range market. With a rumored MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, Leica-branded cameras, and a massive 5,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging, the 15T Pro is set to make a statement.
Design and First Impressions
Leaked images and videos show the Xiaomi 15T Pro sporting a sleek, copper-like finish on its back, giving it a distinct and premium feel. The camera island, a defining feature of modern smartphones, is a rounded square with beveled edges and proudly displays Leica branding. This suggests a strong focus on photography, a feature confirmed by leaked camera specs. The phone is also rumored to have a flat metallic frame with curved corners, with the Pro variant likely to be the one to get the full metal treatment, in contrast to the standard model’s plastic frame.
Core Hardware Specifications
- Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset. This is a flagship-tier chip for exceptional performance.
- Cameras: Leica-branded triple-camera system. It includes a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, and a 13MP ultrawide lens.
- Battery and Charging: A large 5,500mAh battery supports 90W wired fast charging.
- Display: A high-refresh-rate flat OLED display and a metal frame.
The T-Series Dilemma
The Xiaomi 15T Pro’s specs position it as a “flagship killer,” a term that’s become a bit of a cliché but remains relevant here. It’s likely the global version of the Chinese-exclusive REDMI K80 Ultra, a strategy Xiaomi has used successfully in the past. The leaked pricing of €799 (approximately ₱52,900) for the 12GB+256GB model puts it in direct competition with last year’s premium flagships. This raises a crucial question for consumers: do you opt for a device that offers many flagship-level features at a slightly lower cost, or do you wait for a traditional flagship to drop in price?
With an official launch expected in September, we won’t have to wait long to see if the Xiaomi 15T Pro lives up to its promise.
Given the rumored price (~₱52,900), would you buy the Xiaomi 15T Pro or a slightly older, true flagship (like a Xiaomi 14 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S24) at a similar price?
