Xiaomi is reportedly working on its next-generation T series smartphones, the Xiaomi 15T and Xiaomi 15T Pro. While the official launch is still months away, leaks surrounding the devices have already begun surfacing online. The latest reports suggest that the Xiaomi 15T series will feature upgraded chipsets, with the standard Xiaomi 15T expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra, while the Pro variant could sport the high-performance MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ SoC. These early details hint at a significant performance boost over their predecessors, the Xiaomi 14T series.

According to a report by Smartprix, references to the Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro have been discovered within the latest HyperOS 2.1 code. The report reveals that Xiaomi has assigned unique codenames to these devices—“klimt” for the Xiaomi 15T and “turner” for the Xiaomi 15T Pro. These names are inspired by renowned painters Gustav Klimt and J.M.W. Turner, continuing Xiaomi’s tradition of using artistic themes for its device codenames.

Interestingly, the leaks suggest that the Xiaomi 15T Pro shares its internal codename with the upcoming Redmi K80 Ultra. This could indicate that both devices will have nearly identical hardware specifications. However, while the Redmi K80 Ultra is expected to remain exclusive to the Chinese market, the Xiaomi 15T Pro is likely to be released globally. This aligns with Xiaomi’s past strategy of differentiating models for different regions while maintaining similar core hardware.

While Xiaomi has not officially confirmed any details about the Xiaomi 15T series, these early leaks provide insight into the company’s upcoming lineup. If the rumored specifications hold true, the Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro could offer impressive performance enhancements, positioning them as strong contenders in the premium mid-range segment. More details are expected to surface in the coming months as the development progresses.

Samsung is gearing up to expand its Galaxy S25 series with the addition of the Galaxy S25 Edge, a slimmer variant expected to join the lineup. While the device is anticipated to share several features with the standard, Plus, and Ultra models, it may come with a smaller battery compared to the base version. A recent certification listing has provided further evidence of this, suggesting that the Galaxy S25 Edge will feature a more compact battery capacity than its counterparts.

The battery details for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge recently surfaced on the UL Demko certification database, revealing a model number EB-BS937ABY. According to the listing, the handset will house a 3,786mAh battery, which is likely the rated capacity. In commercial terms, Samsung is expected to market it as a 3,900mAh battery, aligning with previous leaks regarding the device’s specifications.

This information reinforces earlier reports suggesting that the Galaxy S25 Edge will indeed have a smaller battery than the standard Galaxy S25, which is equipped with a 4,000mAh cell. Despite the slight reduction in battery capacity, the Edge variant is expected to maintain similar performance and efficiency optimizations as its sibling models. Notably, the phone had previously appeared on China’s 3C certification site, hinting at key charging capabilities.

According to the 3C listing, the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to support 25W wired charging, matching the base S25 model. While Samsung has yet to officially confirm these specifications, the certification leaks suggest that the Galaxy S25 Edge will prioritize a sleek and lightweight design while retaining essential features from the main lineup. More details will likely emerge as the device approaches its official launch.
