The anticipation for the Xiaomi 15T and Xiaomi 15T Pro launch on September 24 is palpable, especially with rumors suggesting a camera upgrade that could rival the Pixel 10. Xiaomi’s choice to unveil these smartphones in Munich during Oktoberfest adds an element of excitement to the event.
The theme “Far closer” hints at potential camera enhancements, particularly in the telephoto department. With the Pixel 10 boasting a dedicated telephoto camera as its standout feature, Xiaomi seems poised to offer a competitive alternative at a more affordable price point.
Whether the enhanced zoom capabilities will rely on AI processing or a superior optical zoom lens like Leica remains to be revealed. Given the previous Xiaomi 14T Pro’s modest 2.6x optical zoom, a significant improvement in this area is highly anticipated.
As we eagerly await the launch, the mystery of what the ‘T’ signifies in Xiaomi’s T-series continues. These releases typically offer flagship features at a more accessible price, appealing to a broader audience. Previous iterations like the Xiaomi 14T Pro and Xiaomi 14T have garnered praise for their performance, camera quality, and value proposition.
With the Xiaomi 14T Pro priced at £649 and the Xiaomi 14T at £549 at launch, expectations are high for the Xiaomi 15T series to deliver another compelling mid-range option. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting release and the potential camera upgrades that could shake up the smartphone market.
