Xiaomi’s T-series smartphones can be a bit confusing, as they are not always a straightforward mid-generation upgrade over the non-T series models. The Xiaomi 14T Pro is a prime example of this.
In terms of design, the Xiaomi 14T Pro has undergone some changes compared to the Xiaomi 14 Pro. The camera module on the back now resembles the style of iPhones, and the flattened aluminum chassis provides a similar feel to recent iPhone models. The phone weighs 209 grams and is 8.3mm thick, giving it a substantial and high-quality feel. Additionally, the 14T Pro boasts an IP68 dust and water resistance rating.
The back panel of the phone features 3D curved sides that look and feel like metal, although it may not be actual metal. Available in Titan Black, Titan Blue, and Titan Gray colors, the Titan Gray version is showcased in most of the photos. It is a highly reflective surface that does not attract too many fingerprints.
As for specifications, the Xiaomi 14T Pro sports a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate, 2712 x 1220 pixel resolution, and a peak brightness of 4,000 nits. The phone is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor with 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. It houses a 5,000mAh battery that supports Xiaomi’s 120W wired charging or 50W wireless charging.
The Xiaomi 14T Pro maintains its partnership with Leica, offering a camera setup similar to the impressive Xiaomi 14 Ultra. Leica provides Vario-Summilux lenses, various photography styles, video enhancements, filters, and portrait modes. The primary camera is a 50-megapixel Light Fusion 900 shooter with an f/1.6 aperture, combined with a 50MP telephoto camera and a 12MP wide-angle camera.
Featuring plenty of AI capabilities, the phone comes pre-installed with Google Gemini and offers features like Circle to Search, AI Portrait, AI Film, AI Image Editing, and more. Other features include AI Notes, AI Recorder, stereo speakers, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 7, and NFC.
Compared to the old Xiaomi 14 Pro, the Xiaomi 14T Pro has differences in screen size, wide-angle camera resolution, battery capacity, and processor. Despite their similarities, they offer distinct features, making it more of an alternative choice than a straightforward upgrade. The price difference should reflect the change in processor. While not extensively tested yet, the phone’s metal body with a cool touch resembles the OnePlus Nord 4 more than an iPhone.
As of now, Xiaomi has not revealed the pricing or release details for the Xiaomi 14T Pro.
