Weekly poll results: the Xiaomi 15T Pro overshadows the vanilla 15T

A year ago, we asked you for your thoughts on the Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro. Back then, things leaned in favor of the more capable Pro model. Last week, we asked you a similar question this time featuring the new 15T duo.

While things were relatively close before, the Pro now dominates its vanilla sibling – the Xiaomi 15T Pro is the preferred model by a wide margin. Some found great deals on the Pro and are happy with the phone – people praised its Dimensity 9400+ chipset and its camera performance. Some knocked it for its optical fingerprint reader, though.

If you find a great deal, then the 15T Pro is a solid pick. However, some feel that the pricing is too close to the Xiaomi 17 series – more people were willing to pay extra for the flagship model than save some cash and get the vanilla 15T.

The Xiaomi 15T poll tells a simple story – most people would rather have the 15T Pro instead. Price is less of a concern here. That’s not surprising given that this is the cheaper model. However, the value proposition isn’t quite there.

The two 15T models are very similar, but the Pro has more processing power (Dimensity 9400+ vs. 8400 Ultra), a better main camera (1/1.31” vs. 1/1.55” sensor) and longer telephoto lens (5x/115mm vs. 2x/46mm), not to mention a more capable charging system (90W wired + 50W wireless vs. 67W wired only).

We have published our Xiaomi 15T review and our 15T Pro review with detailed tests and our thoughts on the two phones.
