Xiaomi 15T Pro Review Roundup: Telephoto Beast or Overhyped? (ft Joshua Vergara, Tech Spurt)

Is the Xiaomi 15T Pro the €799 “affordable flagship” to beat? We watched the top reviews so you don’t have to. Here’s the consensus on design, display, performance, Leica 5× periscope, video, battery, and value.

Design & Build
* IP68 with aluminum frame and glass‑fiber back; “mocha gold” looks premium and subtle.
* Refined camera island, matte back cuts fingerprints; Gorilla Glass 7i protection.
* Overall craftsmanship called “top‑notch.”

Display & Audio
* 6.83" AMOLED, 1.5K (2772×1280), up to 3200 nits, DC dimming, HDR10+ & Dolby Vision.
* 144Hz option but behavior mostly ~120Hz (no LTPO).
* Loud stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos.

Performance, Gaming & Software
* Dimensity 9400+ delivers flagship‑level speed; Loop/Ice cooling keeps temps in check over long sessions.
* Stability is solid with a brief dip in stress loops that recovers quickly.
* HyperOS 2 on Android 15 now; HyperOS 3 expected late Oct 2025. Smooth overall, but some call out bloatware; others saw no ads.

Cameras — Photos
* 50MP main (Light Fusion 900) + 50MP 5× periscope (115 mm) + 12MP ultra‑wide.
* Consistent color and detail across lenses; ultra‑wide weak at night.
* Leica color in standard mode can skew vibrant; Pro mode helps dial in a look.

Video
* Up to 8K30; 4K120 slow‑mo; LOG profile with LUT monitoring.
* Strong stabilization and cleaner mics; front cam 4K30.
* Note: Tap‑to‑track disabled at 60fps.

Telephoto — The Headliner
* 5× periscope is excellent to ~10×; beyond 20× relies on Ultra Zoom 2.0 processing.
* Against the true flagship 15 Ultra, Ultra’s telephoto is clearly better—but the 15T Pro is impressive at this price.

Battery, Charging & Connectivity
* 5,500 mAh delivers all‑day (often two‑day) endurance in real‑world use.
* 90W wired (a step down vs last gen), Wi‑Fi 7, eSIM + physical SIM.
* Astral Communication can ping nearby Xiaomi devices up to ~1.9 km without Wi‑Fi/data.

Value & Verdict
* Launch price €799 (same as last year’s 14T Pro).
* Buy if: you want big‑league zoom photos, marathon battery, and strong performance without Ultra pricing.
* Skip if: you need squeaky‑clean stock Android or the absolute fastest charging.
