Teasy, 02 Mar 2025Had the 14, they've downgraded the Telephoto which is ... moreIts upgraded actually, sensor from JN1 to JN5. Both are 60mm optically, dont be fooled by the 75mm on the Mi 14 marketing, thats actually digital.

      @GSM is this phone more expensive than the iPhone 16 pro in certain parts of Europe? in the UK it's £899 with 256gb of storage whereas the iPhone 16 pro with the same storage is £1099

        Actually they already have a phone with the SD card reader, jack, FM radio, and that super amazing IPS LCD tech you're looking for, it's the Redmi 14C 5G. Go buy that one instead, tool.

                Been waiting for the global release since October 2024! Bought 512gb model and planning to sell tablet that comes included. After discounts (100), trade-in (239) and selling tablet (approx 200) total price will come to 460£ (UK)... IMO, that's a fantastic price!!

                  Anonymous, 03 Mar 2025Am i the only one who likes this xiaomi design tbhI like the design. I had the phone for 6 days and the in-hand feel is great. The camera in the upper corner is much better for holding the phone as it doesn't really get in the way of your grip. For a phone this size, if the camera module was one of the round circular ones in the middle like on the Vivo x200 pro mini it might interfere with your grip (your hand would typically rest on or over the camera module). Therefore, I think this design is very good from a practical point of view. It's far more comfortable to hold for example than the Xiaomi 15 ultra at least for me. With the 15 ultra if I hold it normally my hand rests against the camera bump or over it (at least without a case). I don't have that problem with the regular Xiaomi 15

                      This is a great relatively compact phone. The only real downside is if you compare to last year there are only really two minor upgrades, the battery size and the ultrasonic fingerprint reader. Cameras are almost the same. Still it is one of the best if not the best 6.3" phones around. The Vivo x200 pro mini is a bit better for cameras especially zoom but that isn't globally available and has other minor comprimises e.g. usb 2.0. Oppo will release a 6.3" phone too soon so will be interesting to see how that compares (although it will likely be China only). IMO i think this is the best relatively compact phone that is globally available (apart from the in the US). I don't fully agree with gsmarena's assessment of the video quality though. I found it a bit oversharpened and oversaturated which was particularly noticeable when shooting videos of people.

                        Cons:
                        No sd card reader
                        No audio jack
                        No fm radio...
                        OLED display

                        Pros:
                        3 nm chipset
                        Unlockable bootloader
                        Rootable
                        Custom ROM support

                        Hmm nice pros but I'm not fully convinced.
                        This model is a no buy for me personally based on the cons but ill give Xiaomi another chance. I'm confident that they will soon release a phone with all the essential features that I require.

                        Go Xiaomi go!

                          David 040882, 02 Mar 2025Yeah, I guess that makes sense. But hopefully one of the ot... moreI'm still bummed by the Poco X7 Pro only managing an endurance score of 12:43h despite having a 6000mAh battery. The 14T Pro has a smaller 5000mAh battery and a much more powerful chip, yet it got 12:32h, which is very similar to the X7 Pro.

                          Hopefully Xiaomi can get their stuff together and improve the power management on their budget and mid-range options too, not just their flagships.

If you mean the zoom range, it seems that it was digitally cropped to 3.2 on the 14, as some people mentioned that the camera app switches to telephoto at x2.6 and not x3.2.

                              No I'm just getting the 15 Pro instead of this regular 6.36 inch trash

                                  Had the 14, they've downgraded the Telephoto which is just insane and a no buy for me.

                                    David 040882, 02 Mar 2025It's great to see battery life being improved finally ... moreChinese phone version get bigger b atteries cos EU has some laws and regulations about batteries and that's why EU versions get smaller batteries. Probably that's the reason why.

                                        I think the battery capacity maybe limited via software or just rated lower so that it doesn't have a bigger battery than ultra. The difference is so insignificant to be actually a completely different battery.
