In the world of smartphones, September usually means two things. The first is the introduction of a new iPhone lineup, as was the case just a couple of weeks ago, with Apple revealing the iPhone 17 series. The second is a little closer to my heart, as September also means the launch of Xiaomi\u2019s latest mid-range phones. My first-ever phone review, around this time two years ago, was for the Xiaomi 13T, and I\u2019ve reviewed at least two dozen Android handsets since. So, it only made sense to check out the new Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro at the first opportunity, just to see what\u2019s changed in the last two years.<\/p>\n
The mid-range market is more congested than ever in 2025, thanks to the likes of the iPhone 16e, Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, and Google Pixel 9A, but this pair of Xiaomi phones is more than capable of holding their own. What we\u2019ve got on our hands here are a couple of potential future Android entries for our guide to the best mid-range phones and potentially even our list of the best gaming phones. Don\u2019t believe me? Well, allow me to explain.<\/p>\n
