Xiaomi has just unveiled its latest mid-rangers, the Xiaomi 15T, but the real thing that’s got our attention is the unbelievable pre-order offer that the company has attached to the handset.
From now until 31 October, if you order a Xiaomi 15T directly from Xiaomi itself, you will also get a double whammy of free gifts, with a 43-inch Fire TV and a 90W fast charger thrown in at absolutely no extra cost. That’s a total saving of £318.99 compared to buying all three separately.
I can’t remember the last time I saw a pre-order offer of this magnitude for a new phone – typically, you’d expect to see a free pair of earbuds included, but never a free TV. To make use of the offer while stocks last, head on over to Xiaomi’s official website right now, where the Xiaomi 15T can be picked up for as little as £549, making it even more of a mid-range bargain.
You can even bag a similar offer with the 1TB model of the Xiaomi 15T Pro, which includes a larger 50-inch Xiaomi Fire TV (usually £319) for free. The only thing to factor in is that the 1TB Pro features a higher price tag of £799, which is why, from my perspective, it’s the standard Xiaomi 15T that offers the best value for most people.
If a free TV doesn’t appeal to you, Xiaomi is also offering a free bundle with its excellent Pad 7 tablet instead. We described that device as “the best value tablet you can buy” at its usual £369, so this bundle is an incredible alternative offer.
What has me absolutely floored, however, is that Xiaomi hasn’t stopped there, as you can save an extra £150 when trading in an eligible device, and students can nab an additional 12% discount at checkout. With all of these offers factored in, you can practically kit out your dorm room for next to nothing.

If you’ve already followed our coverage of previous Xiaomi phones then you probably already know that the company is somewhat renowned for outdoing most of its competitors where pure value for money is concerned
Last year’s Xiaomi 14T did the impossible. offering up flagship-level cameras at a mid-range price tag. At the time, our expert reviewer said that “straight out of the camera, shots from the main lens often looked more impressive than photos from my iPhone 16 Pro. It’s an amazing feat for a phone that costs around half the price.”
Thankfully, it appears to be much the same this time around as Xiaomi’s offered up camera upgrades to both the 15T and the 15T Pro, so you’ll be more than equipped to capture jaw-dropping shots in any scenario.
Both of these new handsets also feature massive 5500mAh batteries, alongside larger 6.83-inch displays, making them ideal for watching plenty of films and TV shows in your downtime. You also get Xiaomi Astral Communication, which offers a walkie-talkie-style call experience using long-range Bluetooth.
For all that you get with this pre-order bonus, I don’t see another company providing the same value as Xiaomi anytime soon. If you’re starting to feel the urge to upgrade, then this is your chance to do so and get a ton of freebies in the process.
