BEIJING, July 23, 2025 — Xiaomi’s upcoming mid-range powerhouse, the 15T Pro, is poised to blur the lines between affordability and premium performance. According to industry insiders, the device will directly match its pricier sibling—the flagship Xiaomi 15 Pro—in one critical aspect: raw processing power.
The Snapdragon Connection
Multiple sources confirm that both models will share the same cutting-edge Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, defying expectations for the traditionally more budget-friendly T-series. This marks a strategic shift for Xiaomi, which typically reserves its latest silicon for Pro devices. The move positions the 15T Pro as a "stealth flagship," offering near-identical CPU/GPU capabilities at a lower price point by compromising on secondary features like camera hardware or materials.
*"Equipping the 15T Pro with the 15 Pro’s chipset is a game-changer,"* said tech analyst Riya Patel. "It signals Xiaomi’s aggression in dominating the mid-tier segment without sacrificing peak performance."
Leaks Fuel Anticipation
The revelation gained traction after reliable tipster @TechScopeLive shared benchmark comparisons on X (formerly Twitter), showing negligible differences in processing scores between the two models:
📱 Geekbench 6 Results
Xiaomi 15 Pro: Single-Core 2,450 / Multi-Core 7,100
Xiaomi 15T Pro: Single-Core 2,440 / Multi-Core 7,080

Where They Diverge
While processing parity excites power users, the 15T Pro will reportedly cut corners elsewhere:
- Display: 6.7″ AMOLED (15T Pro) vs. 6.8″ LTPO 120Hz (15 Pro)
- Cameras: 50MP main sensor sans Leica tuning (15T Pro) vs. 1-inch Sony IMX989 with Leica optics (15 Pro)
- Build: Plastic frame (15T Pro) vs. titanium alloy (15 Pro)
Pricing and Availability
Xiaomi aims to undercut the 15 Pro’s €1,199 price tag significantly. Early projections suggest the 15T Pro will launch at €799—making it a formidable rival to Samsung’s Galaxy S24 FE and Google’s Pixel 8a.
Pre-orders are expected to open next month via Amazon, with a global release slated for October.
Why It Matters
By democratizing flagship-tier processing, Xiaomi pressures competitors to follow suit—potentially reshaping the mid-range market. As Patel notes, "Consumers no longer need to choose between performance and price. The 15T Pro proves you can have both."
Final Take: The Xiaomi 15T Pro won’t dethrone the 15 Pro’s all-around excellence, but for gamers and multitaskers, it’s shaping up to be 2025’s most intelligent compromise.
