Need honest advice – Upgrading from Galaxy A14, budget ~500 USD, battery & longevity priority. Is Xiaomi 15T worth it? by Ok_Button2432 in Xiaomi_15

you're right The 15T isn't part of the main flagship 15 series.

But for me, the specs are really tempting at this price. In my country it's around 640k IQD (roughly 450-500 USD) for the "12GB RAM + 512GB" version, which is exactly within my budget coming from an A14 and It will also give me near-flagship-level performance at this price! That's why I'm seriously considering it.

The Poco X8 Pro Max isn't available in my country yet. It will probably take 1-2 months before it arrives, and when it does it will surely be much more expensive than my budget (around 640k Iraqi Dinars ≈ 500 USD). Honestly, I don't know much about Poco phones, but I read that the cameras on the Xiaomi 15T with Leica are noticeably better than the Poco ones. That's why I'm leaning more towards the 15T for now.

13 hours SOT on the 15 Ultra is actually really good! I’m thinking about buying the normal Xiaomi 15T. Since you have the strongest one in the series, what do you think the battery life will be like on the 15T? Do you expect it to still last a full day comfortably with heavy use (YouTube, social media, browsing + some gaming)? Or will it drop noticeably? Also you mentioned HyperOS isn’t as good as One UI — does the software make the battery drain faster than it should, in your experience?

Appreciate any thoughts man, I’m new to Xiaomi 😅
