The upcoming Xiaomi 15T Pro subflagman will not just be a renamed Redmi K80 Ultra with minimal changes, as it was in previous years — different codenames such as klimt for Xiaomi 15T Pro and dali for Redmi K80 Ultra mean that these models will really be different, and not just variations on the same theme.
For context, the previous T Pro and K Ultra devices were essentially the same device with minor technical differences and different logos for different markets.
Now that the Redmi K80 Ultra is scheduled to launch in August 2025 in China — featuring a high-end 6.83-inch OLED display, a sturdy metal frame, flagship cameras, and a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset — Xiaomi is drawing a clear line between its global and Chinese portfolio.
The code and model number of each model are now unique, further highlighting Xiaomi‘s commitment to differentiate products by region.:
- Xiaomi 15T (goya): 25069PTEBG (O12A)
- Xiaomi 15T Pro (klimt): 2506BPN68R, 2506BPN68G (O12U)
- Redmi K80 Ultra (dali): 25060RK16C (O12)
For consumers and partners, this means that products in different markets will have not only minor differences, but also potentially significant ones — think about camera modules, performance optimization, and build quality.
Notably, the global Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro models will not be launched in India, suggesting an individual approach for this market or perhaps a separate launch strategy in the future.
