Xiaomi unveiled the 15T and 15T Pro ahead of the announcement of the 17 series
By ForGeeks
Xiaomi has officially released the 15T and 15T Pro smartphones, which were supposed to be a global addition to last year’s Xiaomi 15. However, their release coincided with preparations for the unveiling of the next generation, the 17 series. Tomorrow, the company will show off the new flagships, which will be more powerful and technologically advanced than the just-unveiled 15T.

Strategy and positioning
The 15T series is an update of the 15 and 15 Pro models, which were released in China in October 2024. The main difference is the global launch: the devices go on sale in Europe and other countries now. However, in just 24 hours, Xiaomi will unveil the 17 series, which will be the true successor to the lineup.

According to the company, the 17 series will get a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and second displays on the back of the Pro versions. These smartphones will be available in China as early as this year, with an international release expected in spring 2026.
Characteristics of the Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro
The two models are built on MediaTek chipsets: the Xiaomi 15T runs on the Dimensity 8400-Ultra, while the Pro version runs on the more powerful Dimensity 9400 Plus. The smartphones are equipped with 12GB of RAM. The standard version has a maximum of 512GB of storage, while the Pro version has up to 1TB.

Performance-wise, the devices don’t look dated and can compete with other 2025 flagships. However, their “near-flagship” status is diminished by an unusual release schedule: the public will see Xiaomi’s more advanced smartphones as early as tomorrow.
