Meanwhile, Xiaomi 15T Pro pushes boundaries further by supporting high-specification 4K 120fps on the main camera, allowing users to produce cinematic clips with precise frame control. For post-production, 4K 60fps 10-bit Log recording with LUT input is provided, thereby offering ample flexibility.
From photography to videography, Xiaomi 15T Series’ camera system offers a complete solution for users who want effortless control and memorable results, whether capturing spontaneous moments or creating carefully composed narratives.
Breakthrough connectivity, combined with a brand new operating system
Beyond imaging, Xiaomi 15T Series introduces a leap in mobile connectivity, redefining how users stay connected in various environments. At the heart of this innovation is Xiaomi Astral Communication, a suite of advanced technologies, including the global debut of Xiaomi Offline Communication with Xiaomi 15T Series. This enables direct voice communication between Xiaomi 15T Series devices over distances of up to 1.9km for Xiaomi 15T Pro, and 1.3km for Xiaomi 15T, even without cellular or Wi-Fi signals. It is ideally suited for open environments such as jungles, deserts, or remote hiking trails, adding an essential extra layer of reliability when traditional networks are unavailable.
For stable and adaptive connectivity across various conditions, Xiaomi Astral Communication also includes Xiaomi Surge T1S Tuner, which flexibly utilizes GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular signals. This works in tandem with the Super Antenna Array, which features a high-performance antenna that improves overall cellular performance and AI Smart Antenna Switching to maximize signal performance. Consequently, whether users are streaming, navigating, or gaming, this integrated system helps to ensure connections remain strong and stable.
Aside from communication technology, Xiaomi 15T Series will also receive the latest in software with Xiaomi HyperOS 3. Driving an elevated user experience, Xiaomi HyperOS 3 will make its global debut in Xiaomi 15T Series and roll out with enhanced multitasking capabilities,3 quicker app launches, and redesigned interface elements, including lock screens, wallpapers, icons, widgets, and even a brand new notification design. Additionally, system-level intelligence from Xiaomi HyperAI4 and enhanced interconnectivity across devices will help increase productivity, enabling users to share and sync content seamlessly.
Bigger, brighter, and more immersive display
Complementing Xiaomi 15T Series’ powerful hardware and connectivity is a clear, vibrant, and the largest display yet among Xiaomi Series smartphones. This expansive 6.83-inch display is designed to elevate content creation, reading, and entertainment with immersive visuals. Furthermore, with a peak brightness of up to 3200 nits, the display maintains clarity even in bright light, helping to ensure visibility across a wide range of environments.

To further enhance eye care, it incorporates 3840Hz PWM dimming, which effectively reduces screen flicker, making the display more comfortable for prolonged viewing, especially during nighttime reading or in low-light environments.
Power meets endurance
A powerful display experience calls for equally capable internals. Xiaomi 15T Series delivers robust performance and efficient thermal management to meet the demands of today’s users. Inside both Xiaomi 15T and Xiaomi 15T Pro is a 5500mAh battery, providing sustained power within a slim chassis.
While Xiaomi 15T Pro provides charging flexibility with both 90W wired HyperCharge and 50W wireless
HyperCharge,7 Xiaomi 15T features 67W HyperCharge to help ensure users can top up quickly without long wait times. Furthermore, built for longevity, the battery can retain up to 80% capacity even after 1600 charging cycles. It can power on in under four seconds when the battery is flat, after a charger has been connected.
Xiaomi 15T Pro runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, built on a 3nm process, while Xiaomi 15T is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400-Ultra. Both processors deliver a boost in CPU and GPU performance over the respective previous generation, ensuring smooth execution across a wide variety of tasks.
Alongside strong performance, a stellar thermal management system is essential to help ensure long-lasting comfort during extended sessions. In Xiaomi 15T Series, this is where Xiaomi 3D IceLoop System plays a critical role. Unlike conventional passive cooling systems that slowly transfer heat from internal components to the phone’s surface, Xiaomi 3D IceLoop System efficiently separates vapor and liquid, featuring a specially designed 3D bulge for the CPU. This design helps to direct heat away from core sources such as the SoC, and evenly distribute it across the device’s surface. Users can therefore experience sustained optimal performance and a more comfortable hold, even during demanding tasks.
Flagship design and durability
All of this cutting-edge performance is housed in a refined, premium design that reflects Xiaomi’s continued pursuit of elegance, durability, and comfort in hand. Xiaomi 15T Series’ unified glass fibre back and battery cover form a seamless exterior, while the flat frame aligns with modern design principles. Slightly rounded edges contribute to a more sophisticated aesthetic, offering a comfortable grip.
Not only does Xiaomi 15T Series come with a premium look and feel, but it also offers added durability for increased peace of mind. This begins from the Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i display, which provides 100% improved scratch resistance compared to the previous generation2 and further extends to a durable glass fibre back, blending style with durability. Both models have been upgraded to now withstand depths of up to 3 meters of freshwater, coming with an IP68 water and dust resistance certification.
