This week Xiaomi had two major releases, but only one of the two new series is available in Europe right now – the two 15T phones are launching with a discount and even a freebie.
The Xiaomi 15T Pro is bigger than its predecessor, 6.83” vs. 6.67”, and has a 12-bit 144Hz OLED display. It’s powered by the Dimensity 9400+ and a 5,500mAh battery with 90W wired and 50W wireless charging. The 50MP main camera has a large 1/1.31” sensor and OIS. There’s also a 50MP periscope with 5x/115mm focal length and a 12MP ultra-wide, plus a 32MP selfie camera.
Now for the deal – the 15T Pro starts with a decent €90 discount. Additionally, you get €150 credit when you buy it – this offer is valid until October 31 and the credit must be redeemed by November 28. There’s also a free Bluetooth speaker in it for you, the Xiaomi Sound Party (normally worth €130). More details here.
The Xiaomi 15T is cheaper while offering the same screen and battery capacity. There are some cutbacks, however. The 5,500mAh battery supports only 67W wired charging, for example. Also, the chipset is a Dimensity 8400 Ultra. The 50MP main camera has a smaller 1/1.55” sensor and the 50MP telephoto module has a shorter 2x/46mm lens.
With the vanilla 15T you get a €75 discount, €100 credit and the same Bluetooth speaker. The same rules as above apply for the 15T.

Do have a look at the Realme GT 7 – it costs the same as the 15T but has some advantages. For one, its 6.78” display is an LTPO panel (with 10-bit colors). Also, it uses the more powerful Dimensity 9400e chipset and has a larger 7,000mAh battery with faster 120W wired-only charging. The camera setup is quite similar to that of the 15T.
The Poco F7 Ultra is around the same price as the 15T too. However, this one has the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, so it can be seen as more of a competitor to the Pro. The 6.67” screen is smaller, but it’s also a 12-bit panel and it has 120Hz refresh rate. The camera is less capable with a 50MP main (smaller 1/1.55” sensor), 50MP 2.5x/60mm telephoto and 32MP ultra-wide. Well, less capable than the 15T Pro camera, it will certainly give the 15T camera a run for its money. The battery is on the small side (5,300mAh) but has fast charging (120W wired, 50W wireless).
You should also consider the Poco F7 Pro – it cuts costs by picking the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and by cutting out the telephoto camera. It does have a larger 6,000mAh battery, though (with 90W wired-only charging). Here is a detailed comparison of the Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra.
There’s also the Poco F7 with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and a 6,500mAh battery. It has a larger 6.83” display, a 12-bit 120Hz panel. The camera is nothing special, even less so than the F7 Pro camera. More details on how the F7 compares with the F7 Pro here.
OnePlus technically hasn’t announced its new flagship yet, but the OnePlus 15 has already been benchmarked to showcase the power of its new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. So, an official launch is just around the corner. In China, at least, there’s no word on when the 15 might come to Europe.
So, for now we have the OnePlus 13 with the outgoing Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, 6.82” LTPO OLED display, a triple 50MP camera and a 6,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.
The Motorola Razr 60 Ultra is down to around the same price – this flip foldable also uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite. It only has two 50MP cameras (wide + ultra-wide) and a smaller 4,700mAh battery with 68W wired and 30W wireless charging. The phone does boast a 7” LTPO foldable screen and a 4” cover display.
