Video Description

Reviewing the Xiaomi 15T Pro, a mid-range smartphone going up against the Samsung S25 FE and OnePlus 13r, with a more affordable price than most flagships. I've been testing the Xiaomi 15T Pro for a week now as my full-time phone so here's my verdict on the camera output, gaming, battery life and more. This year's T-Series model has grown in size, to over 6.8-inches. That enlarged screen will serve gamers and movie fans well, pumping out bright, poppy visuals as usual. Plus, the Xiaomi 15T Pro boasts one of the beefiest stereo speakers I've tested in 2025. You've got more than enough grunt to run Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves on maxed-out graphics settings. Mediatek's Dimensity 9400 Plus is the brains here, so the Xiaomi 15T Pro can handle everything you throw at it, and keep IceCool while doing so. Battery life is good enough for more demanding users too. Even with hours of Android Auto and camera action, I never ran dry in a single day. HyperOS 3 is coming soon, but at launch the Xiaomi 15T Pro sticks with version 2. So, what do you think? A worthy Samsung Galaxy S25 FE alternative? For the Alton Towers video, where I shot all of the theme park b-roll on the 15T Pro, check here: https://youtu.be/IoVRnO4UVns #Xiaomi15TPro #Xiaomi #Xiaomi15T Xiaomi 15T Pro Review Chapters: 0:00 - One for the fans? 0:39 - Design 2:50 - Software & features 5:56 - Display & audio 7:45 - Performance & gaming 9:04 - Battery life 11:22 - Cameras 15:14 - Byyyyeeee
