We’ve recognized for a short time that Xiaomi is unveiling the 15T and 15T Pro smartphones in Europe this week throughout a Munich-based occasion with the tagline ‘far closer’ suggesting a images focus.
Rumoured costs counsel €649 and €799, each with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage as well as to Android 15 (no Android 16 as but it appears). It’s additionally been instructed that the Xiaomi Watch S4 and OpenWear Stereo Pro earphones will even seem.
However, that’s not all Xiaomi is about to announce this week with the firm’s president Lu Weibing confirming a 25 September occasion in China that can see its subsequent flagship Xiaomi 17 phones debut. No, there’s no Xiaomi 16, seemingly so as to match Apple’s naming.
