Xiaomi 14T review

30 September 2024


Sort by:

In the UK you can get a POCO F6 pro for 100 pounds cheaper direct from xiaomi (399 pounds for 12+256GB) and that comes with a 120W charger in the box.. Sure no tablet but who wants a redmi lol.. Seems like they have nerfed the 14T compared to the 13T from last year (chipset released last year, worse build quality, worse cameras compared to 14T pro etc..) They must want people to buy the 14T pro?

    So, in my country the 14 512gb is the same price as a 14T 512gb + charger. Which one is better?

The only difference is main menu and notification panel. You claim pure android is awful? Pity. I, on the other hand, think that Samsung's UI is terrible and I never understand how people boast about it's alleged superiority over all other brands.

I have a global version of 13T Pro and have no ads and no bloatware. Most pre-installed apps like facebook or many google apps can be simply uninstalled. Spyware? Lol, every vendor has their own spying apps... They can by simply disabled with ADB.

            Anonymous, 01 Oct 2024It is not cheap in Europe..Actually in Germany it is. See Sparhandy if you live there and want it with a contract.

            Alternatively Mediamarkt offer it for 650, 150 cashback for used device. And for those 500 you are getting 14T+Xiaomi pad...

            For 14t pro Cashback is 200, just FYI.

            So not that expensive really, but only if you want Xiaomi Tablet...i guess 1000 tablets will appear in eBay soon so beware if you are planning to sell it later.. might not be easy

                  In Denmark, the choice is easy, since no carriers currently offer subsidiaries 14t and T PRO series..
                  So for a lower price I can get the Samsung Galaxy 24 FE with plenty of power, excellent build quality (no plastic) and 7 years of software support

The frame and the back of the titan coloured phones feel metallic. So I was surprised to learn from the review that it's plastic. The back of the green coloured phone is vegan leather and feels quite nice. It's the only one that has a textured and not smooth back.

                        dannejanne, 01 Oct 2024According to Xiaomi official site: "Meticulously c... moreThey do get the specs wrong sometimes but I think they are right on the frame this time. It seems to be plastic as there are no antenna lines. Note that the Xiaomi 14t pro says that the frame is 'Aluminium alloy metallic frame' but for the Xiaomi 14t it just states the 'deco' is metallic i.e. the decoration is metallic. This is probably the deco on the edges of the phone (that is the bracket around the frame) and possibly on the camera module edges (guessing here for the camera module as it does look a little metallic around the edges). Xiaomi doesn't actually state that the frame is metallic for the 14T. It seems that the frame itself is plastic.

                          According to Xiaomi official site:

                          "Meticulously crafted from high-strength 6M13 aluminium alloy, yielding a design that stands out at first glance."

                          This wouldn't be the first time GSMArena gets the build materials wrong in their review.

                                        I said SD 7+ Gen 3 is minimum and 8s Gen 3 is welcome. For cutting the price, it doesn't need 144 Hz screen. 120 Hz is more than enough because 14T is not gaming oriented phone. IMHO
