Why can't the Xiaomi 15T Pro recognize some third-party USB drives or headphones?

Thank you for your support of Xiaomi. The Xiaomi 15T Pro charging port is equipped with an anti-corrosion coating to protect the device. In some cases, this coating can prevent certain non-standard USB flash drives or headphones from being recognized automatically. This is normal and depends on the compatibility of connected peripherals, not a device malfunction.
To ensure an optimal experience, please refer to the following information:
  1. Open [Settings] >> [Additional settings] >> [OTG] >> enable [OTG].
  2. After turning it on, plug the device in again, and it will work normally.
Following these steps ensures the Xiaomi 15T Pro works correctly with supported third-party devices while protecting the port. Enabling OTG properly ensures reliable performance and stable connections with compatible devices.
