I wouldn’t mind the lack of a charger in the box if it was a standard PD charger. But the problem with these Chinese phones is that they equip their phones with proprietary charging protocols and you can’t reach top charging speeds without them, making the removal of charger from the box even more outrageous!
picking between the 14T and 14T Pro basically boils down to whether you want to be able to run the current benchmark games like *Wuthering Waves* & *Honkai Star Rail* (dont ask why a JRPG is the most demanding phone game in the market rn), and upcoming games like *Arknights: Endfield* or *Neverness To Everness* at 60 FPS bc theres a real performance gulf between these new games compared to older games like say Genshin Impact, to the point where the Dimensity 8300 can struggle compared to the D9300+
I have an 11T Pro which is my first foray into the Xiaomi phone brand since Huawei stopped installing google (still have my P30 Pro). Looking to upgrade but don’t want to splash loads on the 14 Ultra. 14T. pro hits the sweet spot for me. Thanks for the great review. Summed up without a looong breakdown.
Hey, I'm considering upgrading from the 11T to the 14T or 14T Pro, but I'm not sure whether to spend €450 on the 14T or €650 on the 14T Pro. What bothers me about the 14T is the plastic build, 67W charging, and the lack of wireless charging.
14t will be the best-selling phone over 14t pro just because both has the same experience except for wireless charging but most of people use wired adopter not wireless one
Starting from the chip set to the camera. Everything is different between the 2. 14T has a 2x zoom while 14T Pro has 2.6 Camera apertures are different as well
Indonesia already has a local company that produces chargers not only for Xiaomi, but also other brands. Therefore, the Indonesian version still includes a charger because if not, the domestic content level will not be met (simply to meet TKDN requirements).
For the Xiaomi 14T, please try to record video with main camera while walking. From many first impression video there's autofocus hunting problem every 1-2 second when walking while recording (like Poco F5 and F6) which the problem is not exist in Xiaomi 13T series and 14T Pro. If it's true hopefully Xiaomi can fix it ASAP via software update
@@CharlesSiho it's present. I've been zooming a lot of 14T video reviews lately that it's not even funny anymore hahahaha. But tbf, it's noticeable on a large screen and not on the phone itself. I noticed that it only happens when taking a step which would be understandable. It doesn't happen for panning shots or walking around subjects that are near. I'll try it with a gimbal when I get mine or have the autofocus set to manual or set the EIS off I'll reply to you when I get my results.
@@CharlesSiho Good news. Feedback from doing it indoors since the weather today is terrible: 1. Doing it handheld and walking really carefully you can minimize the shake or avoid it entirely. 2. Using the gimbal indoors, using the wide and telephoto, the sake disappears as long as you pair it with careful walking. 3. Now I just think that people are just stepping too hard when walking. It's just that some phones are more capable of shock than others. 4. There's some stuttering on the phone app when recording 4K. But managed to get rid of it when clearing the cache. Only the master cinema mode seemed laggy understandably due to higher hardware demands. Director mode and Pro mode's quite smooth and no lag
Is this Android Authority's first Xiaomi T series review? I think this has been the T-series' disparity since 12T series: the chipset and charging. Just this year they added the light fusion 900 sensor, 8k vid recording, and wireless charging to the Pro version maybe just to make the pro version a more attractive deal

You choose a the end, the only difference between both are the cameras and software.

"Why would you have two phones with such similar specs going up against each other?" kinda sounds like: Why would you have Iphone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max with similar specs going up against each other? Why would you have Samsung S24 and S24 Plus with similar specs going up against each other? Why would you have Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro with with similar specs going up against each other? Why would you have Honor 200 and Honor 200 Pro with with similar specs going up against each other? Why am I asking these whys? Great review by the way! This really helps us consumers. Peace to all of you 😇
The only thing these models kill is battery life and for me it doesn't matter what specs you put in, if the battery consumption is 1.5 charges a day, it's too many charges because by 600 charges (approximately 1 year's time) the battery will start to degrade especially the Li Po batteries used in these phones, after that it's a slow downhill ride. Look at the One Plus 13, that new Glacier Battery tech is cutting edge tech .
why is everyone being pissy about the charger??? if youre upgrading from a xiaomi phone do you not keep your old bricks? otherwise this phone IS cheaper than when the 13t launched. for that difference you can buy a decent gan charger if you do not have one lying around already.
Pricing is the following, starting at 256gb:
The Xiaomi 14T starts at €649/£549
The Xiaomi 14T Pro starts at €799/£649
Nothing new to justify the price. My Poco x5 pro does my job at 250 euros. Enjoy
450euros and 700euros nowdays.The 14T is a nice bargain.Instead of the 14Tpro try the regular 14 which cost the same and is a bit better.

I Bought Lots of Cables and None of them Pass the 30w 😢 Only the Original Gets the Turbo Charge
I bought a third party 67W charger on Amazon and my 14T charges with 67W.@@AleGzmn96

Like to know battery life.Because 13T pro battery life is only 4to 5 hours that's why scare buy
You guys do know that battery life depends on how much you use the phone, and lowering brightness will really help to extend the battery life.
But, no charger included. Why, Xiaomi?
Because, Apple.
Environment 😅
it saves a lot of money on the final price of the phone. you just have to look at the Xiaomi 13T, which is more expensive than the 14T

Should I get honor 200 pro or xiaomi 14t
I would recommend you to buy the xiaomi 14t, honor 200 is far below xiaomi 14 T
I think you should get the Honor 200 Pro. The 8sG3 is faster. Although, the cameras on the Honor are not that good.

Same here. It has a charger, cable, and earphones included.

So I am little confused Is 14 T version better than 14?
Hong Kong pricing much cheaper. No sales tax. 14T Pro £442, €529. Very good price indeed.
Nice review. Not a fan of the flat look of the back of the 14T, so 14T Pro it will be. Until something better shows up. Still a few months to decide.
Does it still have Pop up ads? please answer thanks! I plan up grading my POCO x3 nfc around next year, I might get this.
Nope. Only midrange got the ads
@mykazuha1568 so there is no ads on the 14t or the 14t pro?
Isn't Xiaomi 15 coming in October in China?
hows this compared to Honor 200 Pro and Honor magic 6 pro ?
honor magic 6 is very flagship phone need compared with xiaomi 14 utra or 14 series not t series
If only the 14t series had 3.2 usb c port for video output like the baseline 14 series would of been better when the s24fe has it instead of usb c 2.0
Too many Xiaomi, as always. No charger in the box ... Xiaomi fans will be angry: those who don't update every year and use and less powerful charger
