The much-anticipated Xiaomi 15T Pro has appeared in regulatory certifications, hinting at an imminent launch—but a critical detail might disappoint fans. According to leaks from FCC, IMDA, and TÜV Rheinland documents, the device could retain the same base storage as its predecessor, dashing hopes for a significant upgrade.
Certification Trail Reveals Key Specs
The 15T Pro (model number PN68G) cleared FCC certification this week (full report here), confirming 5G support and a 5,500mAh battery with 120W fast charging—matching last year’s 14T Pro. TÜV Rheinland and Singapore’s IMDA also listed the device, signaling global rollout plans.
XpertPick first spotted these certifications, detailing potential specs like a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip and a 6.67-inch 144Hz OLED display. But the real story? Memory configurations.
The Storage Letdown
Leaked data suggests the base variant will start at 128GB storage with 8GB RAM—identical to the 2024 14T Pro. With rivals like Samsung and OnePlus now offering 256GB base models, Xiaomi’s decision feels like a step backward. Even worse: no microSD slot was referenced, forcing budget-conscious buyers into pricier tiers.
Industry watchers expected at least 256GB for the "Pro" moniker, especially as apps and media files grow larger. "In 2025, 128GB feels borderline for a flagship," noted XpertPick’s report.
Silver Linings and Alternatives
Not all is grim. The device will likely ship with HyperOS 2.0 and a 200MP main camera. Pricing is rumored to start under $699, undercutting rivals. For users needing more space, the 256GB model may cost ~$750.
If the leaks hold, some may prefer last year’s model: the Xiaomi 14T Pro (256GB) is currently discounted on Amazon at $599—a solid deal for those unwilling to compromise.
The Bigger Picture
Xiaomi’s 15T Pro is expected to debut in September, but its storage strategy risks alienating power users. As one Reddit commenter lamented: "Why call it ‘Pro’ if it skimps on basics?"
