A quick summary/specs list of each item below. I don't know much about phones in general as I'm very outdated in tech but these look great value for money.

Finally! Glad to see Xiaomi stepping foot in Australia officially. I think finally the folks at Xiaomi HQ had the brains the realise that third party distribution just doesn't work. Oh boy wasn't Panmi and all other that followed a huge ass disaster. Also really happy to see they are bringing their whole suite of products from powerbanks to screwdrivers and not just the phones. We badly need more competition and variety of products to choose from and hopefully Xiaomi setting up shop in Australia is a great pathway towards that.

Adriftx on 30/09/2025 - 19:17

Havent been in phone market since buying s21 ultra and after looking at some recent reviews isnt oneplus better than xiaomi phones overall?

Asking as oneplus 13 is selling in the same price range and may drop close to this deal amount once one plus 15 is released.
- nguyenlucky on 01/10/2025 - 22:01
  
  OnePlus 13 is leagues ahead of Xiaomi 15T Pro. It's a proper flagship that is comparable to the China-only Xiaomi 15 Pro.
  
  T series has always been mid-range and sub-flagship.

        nguyenlucky on 05/10/2025 - 13:26
        
        @samelight: They are most likely Hong Kong eSIMs with roaming support in China.
        
        Chinese domestic phones never had eSIMs before the iPhone Air. Chinese phones do have eSIMs, but only for model sold globally, outside of China.

        Honor and Huawei are showing the eSIM dual terminal method for watches only. Their domestic phones never support eSIM due to regulations.
        
        non-Air Chinese iPhones never support eSIMs either. Air is the first Chinese iPhone (and first Chinese domestic phone) with eSIM support. Chinese iPhone Air cannot add non-Chinese eSIMs while physicially in China, and foreign Airs cannot add Chinese eSIMs in any circumstances. This is a major compromise imposed by the Great Firewall.

        You are telling me the Chinese eSIM do exist, you just can't use it interactively with the global one, it just sounded like a roaming issue to me.
        If the Chinese eSIMs do exist like you just said, then it's hard to believe no phone supporting it.
        
        nguyenlucky on 06/10/2025 - 16:59
        
        @samelight: Chinese eSIMs are banned on phones until the recently announced Chinese iPhone Air (but with heavy restrictions). I have been talking about eSIMs on Chinese domestic PHONES specifically. Chinese iPad Pro M4 also has eSIM, but it's not a phone.
        
        Find a Chinese domestic phone with eSIM capability (beside the Air) then.
        
        I never said Chinese eSIMs don't exist. They just don't exist on domestic phones until the Air.

It maybe a great phone but low re-sell value in a year. Samsung / Apple tends to have better re-sell value and you can also trade-in. Samsung/Apple/JB/Officeworks won't take Xiaomi as trade-in (at least not yet).

  When you are buying the Xiaomi phones you usually aren't looking for resale value. You get great phones at reasonable prices that last a long time.

    Yeah you're getting the better resale value after already paying a ~$1k premium during the initial purchase.

1.1k for the Xiaomi 15T Pro (which seems comparable to the S24 ultra?) and a Redmi Pad 2 seems pretty good. About the same as Samsung's preorder sale if you managed to get a free Galaxy Watch 5.

Bought a poco x7 pro few months ago same processor as 15t ( Dimensity 8400 Ultra) as a work phone from Amazon only aud 550. Very impress with the quality and speed. Battery life is great and speed is as fast as my iPhone 15 pro max. end up using it all time as it’s a lot lighter and thinner and will never pay apple tax again, only downside is the camera not great. I guess 250 extra you get a better cam but smaller battery. HyperOS 2 is pretty basic though not much customisation but version 3 coming few weeks. Really hope they will release the Xiaomi su7 car here in aus.

Spending over 1k on a xiaomi phone is mental. They've lost their value proposition entirely.

Ive used their products for a decade. I'm wearing one now and my house will be cleaned by one later. But that's too much for one of their phones. I stopped buying their phones after the mi9 because if I was willing to spend Samsung flagship prices I'd just buy the real thing.

Sorry maybe I am just overcome by excitement by this deal, but how do I get access to the $100 launch coupon to be provided later on 10/10?

If i understand correctly is it as simple as registering my interest and then wait for the coupon to be emailed to me on 10/10 before I make the purchase?
- seastone on 02/10/2025 - 19:55
  
  What I read from the earlier post, yes the $100 will be provided at launch and applied during checkout.
  
  Just wonder, in regards to the pre-registration, was it just simply a one-click process for everyone ? doesn't look like any upfront payment is required ?
  
  Did anyone receive any confirmation email (or SMS) to show the pre-registration was successful ?
  
  I didn't receive any confirmation email, but I don’t want to miss out on this deal, so would be good to know how it worked for others.

Remember, Xiaomi T Pro is never the "flagship" product like some may think. It's a subflagship model with a lot of cost cutting (USB 2.0, worse build quality, etc).

Only Xiaomi 15 and Ultra are their true flagships for the global market. Unfortunately 15 Ultra isn't available yet, unlike our neighbor NZ.

And while Xiaomi 15 is available, its price is atrocious for an already superceded product (1599 AUD). I guess Xiaomi isn't pushing their true flagship model yet to wait for the launch of 17 series globally.

  Don't bother with it. You get Chinese domestic apps and no Google. Depending on models, bands will be a problem too.

Gsmarena review dropped. Looks great. Battery life a real high point:

  Useful review, though the writing is atrociously edited…

  Dropped down to 60W from 120W 14T pro

Anyone reckon now that they're selling officially in Aus, there'll be better deals (maybe also for the 15 (non T) by Christmas?

  @I Smell Pennies Hey, I think this might be worth updating the post for, but I was checking out the Xiaomi 15
  
  https://www.mi.com/au/product/xiaomi-15/buy/?gid=4223720566
  
  and saw a coupon for $500 (valid between 10/10/2025 - 31/10/2025, so same sale as the 15T series), which should bring it down to $1099 - same price as the 15T Pro.
  
  And I believe 15 > 15T Pro > 15T.
  
  Although, no additional goodies.

    Good find mate. And great post :)
    
    Yeah as CodeXD said above, my post title is full. And I was more focused on just the 15T version.
  - first in line on 09/10/2025 - 17:42
    
    Really? I thought 15T Pro is the newer model so should be better?

      Yeah, the naming and stuff confused me as well.
      
      As far as I can tell, 15 is the flagship line, T series is like the midrange 'flagship killer'.
      
      If you compare the two,

      https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=14178&idPhone…
      
      They're quite similar, but the 15T Pro compromises on some things.
      
      copy and paste from a diff comment of mine:
      
      15T Pro has usb 2.0 while 15 has 3.2.
      15T Pro has 5500mAh while 15 has 5240mAh.
      15T Pro has 5x optical zoom, 15 has 2.6x.
      15T Pro has 12MP ultrawide, 15 has 50MP ultrawide.
      15T Pro front camera can record 30fps, 15 can record 60fps.
      15T Pro has 3 mics, 15 has 4 mics.
      15T Pro is AMOLED, 15 is LTPO AMOLED.

      T: midrange with good camera
      T Pro: sub-flagship all-around, with flagship-grade camera
      Number: Actual flagship, not too big, OK camera.
      Ultra: Ultra super duper ultimate supremacy
- Webberpbo on 10/10/2025 - 08:40
  
  Yes they started from 30/09/25, and ripped OZ off with $200 extra price.

Was prepared to buy the 15T Pro tomorrow but the deal for the 15 has confused me a little.
I only use my phone for general surfing, watching videos and playing silly games.
Been using the Samsung Note 10+ for the last 6 years and it caters to all my needs. Should the 15T Pro suffice? Or I should go for the 15.

The extra goodies on the 15T Pro deal were obviously a sweetener for me.

Also, any other tips to bring cost down. E.g. cashback, discounted gift cards, etc?
- nguyenlucky on 09/10/2025 - 22:52
  
  Xiaomi 15 is a smol-ish phone so it might not appeal to you, as you're used to a big Note 10+.

  15T probably better for your use case. If you don't care as much on camera
  
  15 uses snapdragon chipset. Which isn't as good on battery life. Dimensity is the best these days and we don't have any high end flagship at all for any other brands locally except Xiaomi. This is the truth

Doesn't look like it comes with a case, any recommendations on a case, or places people have bought decent quality cases before?

  Bottom of the specs page says there is a Protective Case included in the package

    Thanks, hopefully there is something with all of them, even if it's a cheap TPU case in the interim.

What is the camera on 15T Pro like compare with Pixel 9 Pro XL?
- neonlight on 10/10/2025 - 08:57
  
  Slightly worse don't bother the zoom is only usable at 20x and pixel does better job

  It's been like that since the page went up. Based on the coupon dates, it doesn't launch until midday.

What are updates like for Xiaomi. They can't do 7 years I bet like Google

Also Pixel 8 pro camera is still better than Xiaomi 15t pro according to AI
- nosytt on 10/10/2025 - 09:16
  
  With a quarter of the storage
Webberpbo on 10/10/2025 - 08:38

You can get same deal for just under $900 overseas, or with even 1TB model for just under $1000, and same gift, unsure why they don't have 1YB version in Australia even if we are happy to pay $200 on top
- neonlight on 10/10/2025 - 09:14
  
  Warranty and local support if you forgo those sure
