Xiaomi has officially launched its Xiaomi 15T Series in the Philippines, unveiling the brand’s newest flagship smartphones — the Xiaomi 15T and Xiaomi 15T Pro — designed to push the boundaries of mobile photography, performance, and artificial intelligence (AI).
The series was introduced globally on September 24, followed by its local launch on September 25, with pre-orders opening September 26 across official Xiaomi online and retail stores.
Available in Black and Gray, the Xiaomi 15T also comes in Rose Gold, while the 15T Pro is offered in Mocha Gold. Pricing starts at ₱26,999 (12GB+256GB) and ₱28,999 (12GB+512GB) for the Xiaomi 15T, and ₱37,999 (12GB+256GB) and ₱39,999 (12GB+512GB) for the Xiaomi 15T Pro.
Both smartphones feature a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for added durability. The 15T Pro boasts a smoother 144Hz refresh rate, while the standard 15T supports up to 120Hz, offering ultra-fluid visuals and peak brightness of 3200 nits. Built with a premium fiberglass back and brushed aluminum frame, the series carries an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, ensuring both style and reliability.
At the core of the Xiaomi 15T Series is its Leica-powered triple rear camera setup, delivering professional-grade imaging capabilities. Both phones feature a 50MP 23mm main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP telephoto lens — 46mm for the 15T and 115mm with 5x optical zoom for the 15T Pro.
The 15T supports up to 60x digital zoom, while the Pro version reaches 100x, setting a new benchmark for zoom photography in its class. The Xiaomi 15T Pro also supports 8K video recording at 30fps, with all cameras capable of 4K HDR10+ recording, ensuring consistent cinematic quality across focal lengths.
Leica’s signature color science is on full display with modes like Leica Authentic and Leica Vibrant, while advanced AI editing tools such as AI Erase Pro, AI Image Expansion, and AI Remove Reflection allow users to refine images directly from the Gallery app.
Running on Xiaomi HyperOS 2, both devices are packed with intelligent features built around AI Search, AI Gallery Search, and AI Writing, powered by Google’s Gemini 2.0 multimodal language model. These allow users to search, summarize, and organize content using natural language. The phones will upgrade to HyperOS 3 in November, further enhancing ecosystem connectivity and AI performance.
The AI Interpreter also provides real-time translation during phone and video calls, while Xiaomi Astral Communication lets users make voice calls without Wi-Fi or data, reaching up to 1.9km on the 15T Pro — a world-first feature for mobile connectivity.
Under the hood, the Xiaomi 15T Pro runs on the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor, while the 15T is equipped with the Dimensity 8400-Ultra, both designed for seamless multitasking, gaming, and 5G connectivity. Complementing these are Xiaomi’s 3D IceLoop cooling system and Surge G1 battery chip, optimizing power efficiency and temperature control.
Battery capacity is rated at 5,500mAh, supporting 90W HyperCharge on the 15T Pro and 67W fast charging on the 15T. The Pro also supports 50W wireless charging.
To mark its Philippine debut, Xiaomi Philippines introduced Mika Salamanca and Brent Manalo — the ‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’ Big Winners — as the new faces of the #Xiaomi15TSeries campaign. The duo’s creativity and dynamic energy reflect the series’ spirit of blending innovation, artistry, and personal expression.
