Looking to upgrade to a smartphone that’s balanced in value and features? You might want to pay attention to Xiaomi's latest, highly-anticipated flagships — the Xiaomi 15T series, featuring both the 15T and 15T Pro model.
Impressively, they now have premium features that were long reserved for Xiaomi’s higher-end flagships, such as Leica Summilux lenses, IP68 water and dust resistance, a long-lasting 5,500mAh battery, and a beautiful, clear immersive 6.83-inch display.
With everything said, here’s a thorough breakdown on why they make up for a great, all-rounder experience on the Xiaomi 15T series.

Reason 1: You Get Access to Premium Leica Photography
Especially for photography lovers; part of the appeal to get the Xiaomi 15T series is for its renowned German optics Leica branding and image tuning. With a touch of Leica, the 15T series can take photos with Leica’s distinct aesthetics that are known for their balanced contrast and saturation aspects, giving Leica imaging their unique, cinematic quality.
Notably, the 15T Pro uses the same Light Fusion 900 image sensor that Xiaomi customized with Leica for its main 50-megapixel wide camera. With 5x focal lengths of 15mm, 23mm, 35mm, 46mm, 115mm, and 230mm (Pro model), photographers have the flexibility to capture everything from wide landscape shots to intimate street photography.
The Pro model features a triple-camera setup including a wide 50MP, 23mm f/1.62 unit, a 12MP, 15mm f/2.2 ultrawide camera, and a 50MP, 115mm f/3.0 periscope telephoto unit that makes the camera bump more subtle. The periscope design also allows you to capture high-quality, clear shots from as close as macro to faraway landscape photography.
Meanwhile, although the regular 15T model does not have the 5x optical zoom capabilities of the Pro model, it still possesses the same Leica Summilux optical lens setup (50MP + 50MP + 12MP) which allows users to easily capture low-light images that also preserves sharpness, details and colours.
Moreover, both models feature a 32MP front-facing camera that's capable of clear video calls, selfies, and content creation — essential for social media content creators!
Reason 2: Battery That Lasts The Day
Battery anxiety is real, especially when you're hopping about without a power bank while you traverse with the GPS turned on, draining your phone faster than you'd like. Both the 15T and 15T Pro come equipped with a substantial 5,500mAh battery cell. This is an additional 500mAh improvement over last year's T-series. Officially, Xiaomi says the 15T series is able to last over 15 hours of active use in total.
The Pro model also has 90W wired and 50W wireless HyperCharge support, whereas 15T has 67W wired HyperCharge. Regardless, both phones are able to go up and about in no time. In fact, all you need is less than an hour from 0% to 100%!
Reason 3: A Nice 6.83-inch Display for Comfortable Viewing
It’s a given that in Malaysia, we need our phones to have the strongest, brightest displays due to our strongly-lit outdoor conditions. After all, display quality can make or break not just your user experience, but also your eye comfort (and vision).
Xiaomi 15T features a larger 6.83-inch display, with the Pro version offering a 144Hz refresh rate and peak brightness up to 3200 nits. That's bright enough to remain clearly visible even under our tropical sun. The display on both 15T models are also protected by Gorilla Glass 7i, which means it can handle the daily wear and tear just as well.
Reason 4: Enough Power To Enjoy Your Favourite Games
Powering the 15T Pro is the Mediatek Dimensity 9400+ which offers superior efficiency and better stability under sustained load. Meanwhile the 15T is supported by the Mediatek Dimensity 8400 Ultra which is centered on day-to-day power efficiency with a focus on ensuring that you can access your apps and data with more immediacy.
Running with Android 15 and HyperOS 2, coupled with 12GB RAM and starting of 256GB ROM, you should be able to enjoy smooth apps and gaming operation as well as stable frame rates for both phones.
Reason 5: Price Point - Amazing for Flagship Qualities
Here's the truth about us Malaysians; we're savvy tech users who want the flagship experiences… without the flagship price tags. Thankfully for us, Xiaomi is a master at offering value-for-money products that work just as great among competing options.
Xiaomi 15T is priced from RM1,899 and 15T Pro from RM2,699, which positions them at mid-range pricing. For everything they’re offering in such a sleek chassis, they are a compelling alternative to other brands that can cost significantly more while delivering comparable performance.
Whether you're a content creator looking for better camera capabilities, someone that needs reliable performance, or simply someone who wants a smartphone that offers exceptional value for money, the Xiaomi 15T series deserves serious consideration.
