It’s finally here! The wait is over with the official launch of Xiaomi Australia with their direct-to-consumer online store, Mi.com/au. The Chinese tech giant has long been a favourite, but Aussies have had to rely on grey imports until now.
The new platform gives Australians access to a comprehensive ecosystem of products, from flagship mobile phones and tablets to a diverse range of smart home devices spanning personal care, home cleaning, and mobile accessories.
Headlining the launch is the flagship Xiaomi 15T Series, a duo of 5G smartphones featuring the Xiaomi 15T Pro and Xiaomi 15T, both co-engineered with iconic camera maker Leica.
Xiaomi 15T Pro: The Pinnacle of Mobile Photography
The Xiaomi 15T Pro offers an advanced Leica imaging experience, headlined by a professional triple camera system. This includes a 50MP Leica Summilux main lens (ƒ/1.62 aperture) with a 32MP front camera, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and the debut of a Leica 5x telephoto lens (focal length of 15-230mm) in the Xiaomi T Series. It supports a versatile zoom range from 5x optical zoom and 10x optical-level zoom up to 20x Ultra Zoom. The system is enhanced by a Light Fusion 900 image sensor with a 13.5 EV high dynamic range for superior clarity and tonal accuracy. For videographers, the 15T Pro supports 4K 120fps recording on its main camera and 4K 60fps 10-bit Log recording for post-production flexibility.
Performance is driven by the flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, built on a 3nm process. This power is complemented by a large 5500mAh battery featuring 90W wired HyperCharge and 50W wireless HyperCharge. The device features a large 6.83-inch display with a sharp 1.5K resolution, an ultra-smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and advanced eye care technology. For maximum durability, the frame is constructed from a high-strength 6M13 aluminium alloy.
Xiaomi 15T: Accessible Flagship Experience
The Xiaomi 15T makes professional-grade photography widely accessible, featuring a Leica triple camera system with a versatile 50MP Leica Summilux optical lens (ƒ/1.7 aperture) and a telephoto lens covering focal lengths from 15mm to 92mm. Like the Pro, it supports 4K 30fps HDR10+ recording across all its lenses.
It is powered by the efficient MediaTek Dimensity 8400-Ultra chipset, delivering a significant boost in CPU and GPU performance over previous generations. The large 5500mAh battery ensures all-day endurance and is supported by fast 67W HyperCharge. The 15T shares the same large 6.83-inch, 1.5K resolution display, offering a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and 3,840Hz PWM dimming for flicker-free comfort in low light.
