Xiaomi Unveils Xiaomi 15T Blending Outstanding Optics

Xiaomi has unveiled its latest flagship lineup,  Xiaomi 15T, in Ireland. This launch marks a bold evolution of Xiaomi T Series from  flagship photography and cutting-edge technology built for modern trendsetters to  advanced mobile technology, elevated imagery and a refined design.  

Outstanding optics for next-level imaging  

Built for elevated image quality, Xiaomi 15T Series features an advanced triple camera  system co-engineered with Leica, consisting of a main, ultra-wide, and telephoto  camera on Xiaomi 15T. The camera system is designed to deliver impressive results  across a wide range of scenarios. For versatile composition, Xiaomi 15T offers multiple  focal lengths for choice, spanning from 15mm to 92mm across its three rear cameras,  enabling users to frame wide vistas or close in on details with precision.  

At the heart of Xiaomi 15T Series’ 50MP main camera lies a Leica Summilux optical  lens, which captures exceptional detail with an ƒ/1.7 aperture on the base version and  an ƒ/1.62 aperture on the Pro variant. Alongside intricate detail, vivid colours and high  contrast can also be produced even in low-light environments.  

Working alongside the series’ cutting-edge camera hardware is Xiaomi AISP 2.0, the  brand’s next-generation computational photography platform. With features such as  PortraitLM 2.0 and ColorLM 2.0, Xiaomi AISP 2.0 helps to refine images by enhancing  depth perception, tonal range, and colour fidelity, resulting in more natural, lifelike  photography with minimal post-editing required on both variants.  

This is especially helpful for Master Portrait, which builds upon the previous  generation’s portrait capabilities to introduce all-new bokeh effects for background  light, such as Wide and Bubbles, while also giving users the ability to individually adjust  aperture effects and focal length. Meanwhile, for capturing spontaneous moments,  Leica street photography mode enables quick capture from the lock screen. It provides  users with access to iconic focal lengths of 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm.

Regarding videography, Xiaomi 15T Series delivers pro-level capabilities for creators. The device supports 4K 30fps HDR10+ recording across all focal lengths, thereby  maintaining consistent vibrancy and contrast regardless of the lens used. For post production, 4K 60fps 10-bit Log recording with LUT input is provided, thereby offering  ample flexibility. 

From photography to videography, Xiaomi 15T Series’ camera system offers a  complete solution for users who want effortless control and memorable results,  whether capturing spontaneous moments or creating carefully composed narratives. 

Breakthrough connectivity, combined with a brand new operating system 

Beyond imaging, Xiaomi 15T Series introduces a leap in mobile connectivity,  redefining how users stay connected in various environments. At the heart of this  innovation is Xiaomi Astral Communication, a suite of advanced technologies,  including the global debut of Xiaomi Offline Communication with Xiaomi 15T Series.  This enables direct voice communication between Xiaomi 15T Series devices over  distances of up to 1.3km for Xiaomi 15T, even without cellular or Wi-Fi signals. It is  ideally suited for open environments such as jungles, deserts, or remote hiking trails,  adding an essential extra layer of reliability when traditional networks are unavailable. 

For stable and adaptive connectivity across various conditions, Xiaomi Astral  Communication also includes Xiaomi Surge T1S Tuner, which flexibly utilises GPS,  Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular signals. This works in tandem with the Super Antenna  Array, which features a high-performance antenna that improves overall cellular  performance and AI Smart Antenna Switching to maximise signal performance.  Consequently, whether users are streaming, navigating, or gaming, this integrated  system helps to ensure connections remain strong and stable. 

Aside from communication technology, Xiaomi 15T Series will also receive the latest  in software with Xiaomi HyperOS 3. Driving an elevated user experience, Xiaomi  HyperOS 3 will make its global debut in Xiaomi 15T Series and roll out with enhanced  multitasking capabilities, quicker app launches, and redesigned interface elements,  including lock screens, wallpapers, icons, widgets, and even a brand new notification  design. Additionally, system-level intelligence from Xiaomi HyperAI and enhanced  interconnectivity across devices will help increase productivity, enabling users to share  and sync content seamlessly. 

Bigger, brighter, and more immersive display 

Complementing Xiaomi 15T Series’ powerful hardware and connectivity is a clear,  vibrant, and the largest display yet among Xiaomi Series smartphones. This expansive 

6.83-inch display is designed to elevate content creation, reading, and entertainment  with immersive visuals. Furthermore, with a peak brightness of up to 3200 nits, the  display maintains clarity even in bright light, helping to ensure visibility across a wide  range of environments. Beyond that, its sharp 1.5K resolution renders scenes with  exceptional vibrancy and tonal accuracy, bringing photos, videos, and graphics to life  in stunning detail. 

Xiaomi 15T supports a smooth refresh rate of up to 120Hz for fluid scrolling. To further  enhance eye care, it incorporates 3840Hz PWM dimming, which effectively reduces  screen flicker, making the display more comfortable for prolonged viewing, especially  during nighttime reading or in low-light environments. 

Power meets endurance 

A powerful display experience calls for equally capable internals. Xiaomi 15T Series  delivers robust performance and efficient thermal management to meet the demands  of today’s users. Inside Xiaomi 15T is a 5500mAh battery, providing sustained power  within a slim chassis. Xiaomi 15T features 67W HyperCharge to help ensure users  can top up quickly without long wait times. Furthermore, built for longevity, the battery  can retain up to 80% capacity even after 1600 charging cycles. It can power on in  under four seconds when the battery is flat, after a charger has been connected.  

Xiaomi 15T is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400-Ultra. Its processor delivers a boost in CPU and GPU performance over the respective previous generation,  ensuring smooth execution across a wide variety of tasks.² 

Alongside strong performance, a stellar thermal management system is essential to  help ensure long-lasting comfort during extended sessions. In Xiaomi 15T Series, this  is where Xiaomi 3D IceLoop System plays a critical role. Unlike conventional passive  cooling systems that slowly transfer heat from internal components to the phone’s  surface, Xiaomi 3D IceLoop System efficiently separates vapour and liquid, featuring  a specially designed 3D bulge for the CPU. This design helps to direct heat away from  core sources such as the SoC, and evenly distribute it across the device’s surface.  Users can therefore experience sustained optimal performance and a more  comfortable hold, even during demanding tasks. 

Flagship design and durability 

All of this cutting-edge performance is housed in a refined, premium design that  reflects Xiaomi’s continued pursuit of elegance, durability, and comfort in hand. Xiaomi  15T Series’ unified glass fibre back and battery cover form a seamless exterior, while 

the flat frame aligns with modern design principles. Slightly rounded edges contribute  to a more sophisticated aesthetic, offering a comfortable grip.  

Not only does Xiaomi 15T Series come with a premium look and feel, but it also offers  added durability for increased peace of mind. This begins from the Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i display, which provides 100% improved scratch resistance compared to the  previous generation and further extends to a durable glass fibre back, blending style  with durability. Xiaomi 15T has been upgraded to now withstand depths of up to 3  meters of freshwater,² coming with an IP68 water and dust resistance certification.

Xiaomi 15T will be available in Black, Gray, and the standout Rose Gold¹⁰, a colour  crafted for users who value fashion-forward expression and subtle elegance. 

Ireland pricing and availability¹⁴ 

Xiaomi 15T is available in Black and Rose Gold, with 12GB+256GB, priced at  €649.

Sale shoppers urged to walk, not run, this sale season amidst Black Friday scams

Revolut, the global financial app with over 2.5 million customers in Ireland, warns that euphoria and urgency experienced by shoppers seeking to score a deal may come at a cost.

David Eborne, Head of Financial Crime at Revolut shares types of scams shoppers should be weary of:

  • Fake websites: Scammers use the latest and greatest tech to set up fake retailer websites so that they look exactly like genuine online retail stores. Some of the fake stores will send you the product you purchased but their real goal was to obtain your personal and card data.
  • Selling fake goods: Some sites sell luxury items like popular jewellery or clothing brands, or electronics at very low prices. Sometimes shoppers will receive the item they paid for but they will be fake or other times they will receive nothing at all.
  • Temporary fake sites: A newer version of online shopping scams involves the use of social media platforms to set up fake online stores. The stores open for a short time and then disappear after some sales are made.
  • Social media advertising: Scammers use social media to advertise their fake website. Often they use “Swipe up” features and put a time pressure against it to create a sense of urgency.

The Safest Way to Shop Online
For many customers, a fear when shopping online is to have their card details stolen. However, David says this risk can be mitigated by using Revolut’s single-use virtual disposable cards. The cards provide users with a temporary, randomly generated card number, CVV, and expiration date to be used for a single transaction. Once the transaction is completed, the virtual card is automatically deleted, reducing the risk of unauthorised transactions, and safeguarding personal and financial information. David also advises that if a purchase is not received or was misrepresented by the seller, then customers should raise a dispute via the Revolut app.

Last year, over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Revolut customers in Ireland spent €1.5m on more than 30,000 virtual disposable cards – a year on year increase of 136% as compared to the same timeframe in 2021.

Across the industry, fraudsters stole €84.6m through frauds and scams in 2022, an increase of 8.8% on 2021. The data from BPFI also reported a 19% decrease in authorised push payments (APP fraud) transactions in 2022 compared to 2021*. David encourages even more customers to use virtual disposable cards to help with security when shopping online.

David Eborne, Head of Fraud Operations at Revolut, says: 
“Black Friday shoppers are regularly left deflated and out of pocket after being duped by online scammers, particularly when under time pressure to buy an item.

“At Revolut, our top priority is to help avoid online fraud to keep you and your money safe. Protected by a 2,500-strong, 24/7 fraud prevention team, in 2022 we prevented our customers from falling victim to more than €220M in potential fraud. Our sophisticated fraud detection systems constantly monitor for high risk transactions to keep you safe while you continue saving, sending and spending with ease.”

Black Shamrock – a Virtuos Studio announces expansion of game development studio in Dublin

Black Shamrock – a Virtuos Studio today announced the expansion of its operations at the Guinness Enterprise Centre (GEC) in Dublin City Centre. The co-development studio aims to create 80 new jobs with this expansion, bringing its total headcount to 200 by the end of 2023.

Founded in 2015, Black Shamrock is a co-development studio that specializes in RPG and action-adventure games for PC and console. Since its establishment, Black Shamrock has contributed to Ireland’s presence in the video game industry, having developed some of the world’s most popular AAA titles. The studio has worked on games such as The Outer Worlds, Grounded, Back 4 Blood, Destroy All Humans!, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, and Pillars of Eternity. Currently, the Black Shamrock team has multiple AAA game projects in active development and is excited about their public release.

Black Shamrock was acquired by Virtuos, one of the world’s largest independent game developers, in 2017 as part of its expansion to cater to an increased demand for AAA co-development services globally. Leveraging Virtuos’ global exposure and reach, Black Shamrock has also expanded its co-development capabilities, collaborating with the biggest game studios around the world.

The studio is rapidly expanding to take on some of the games industry’s most ambitious projects. Black Shamrock is actively seeking talent in art, design, engineering, and production, with additional business support roles opening up in the coming months. Interested candidates can learn more about Black Shamrock’s current opportunities here.

Leo Varadkar TD, Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, said, “It’s really welcome that Black Shamrock plans to create 80 new jobs in Dublin as part of its expansion. This initiative underlines the company’s commitment to Ireland by employing 200 people by the end of 2023. Black Shamrock is a global leader in game development, and having such a skilled and talented workforce at its disposal is no doubt a driving force behind this further investment. The news is particularly welcome at a time when other tech companies are announcing job losses. It also shows that the tax changes recently introduced for the digital gaming industry are working. I wish the team all the best in this exciting new chapter.”

Gilles Langourieux, CEO of Virtuos, said: “Ireland’s pool of young, diverse and highly-skilled talent has empowered it to become a key global player in video game development. In 2017, we saw the opportunity to expand into Dublin in partnership with Black Shamrock, which has proven to be a good fit with Virtuos’ company culture of innovation and creativity. Through Black Shamrock, we hope to continuously enable the long-term development of local talent and the expansion of the games industry in Ireland.”


Lukas Codr, General Manager of Black Shamrock – a Virtuos Studio
, said: “We are rapidly expanding all areas of production at Black Shamrock to cater to the growing needs of our client partners. The game projects that we are currently developing are some of the most exciting in the world, so it is the perfect time to join us if you want to work on the most awe-inspiring AAA games and do some of the best work of your career.”


Eileen Sharpe, IDA Ireland’s Head of Growth Markets, said, Ireland’s combination of creative and technical talent makes it the perfect location from which to grow and develop the video gaming sector. IDA Ireland welcomes this investment, and the opportunity to create high-quality jobs for talented people in this exciting growth area.”
