Since the price of the Xiaomi 15T dropped rapidly shortly after its market launch, the RRP is now largely irrelevant. Hence, those interested in an attractive price-performance ratio now have a potentially exciting option on their hands. <\/p>\n

The Xiaomi 15T boasts a modern design with slim bezels, waterproof housing, a good chipset with no noticeable SoC throttling, and an excellent Leica main camera. You can find photos of the Leica camera system here<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Xiaomi has equipped its mid-range smartphone with a superb AMOLED panel boasting 1280p resolution and 12-bit color depth. In our tests, the 6.83-inch, 120Hz panel not only reaches an exceptionally bright 3000 cd\/m\u00b2 but also offers eye-friendly high-frequency PWM dimming at approximately 4000 Hz. Detailed measurements<\/a> can be found in our full review. <\/p>\n

According to the manufacturer, the Xiaomi 15T’s standard dimming method for high brightness levels is DC dimming, while high-frequency PWM dimming (3840 Hz) is used for low brightness. Our measurements<\/a> confirm this.
