Not including charger is dumb, we should not let manufactures get away with this.
Looks like Dimensity heats up a bit when compared with latest SD's

Pros
1. Value for money. Don't think there is another phone with this spec at this price.
2. Very slim and light yet still has a 5000mah battery.
3. Mostly very smooth, but there are a lot of stutters while using certain apps and also in app drawer even after turning on 120hz. Maybe weak chipset or very poor UI optimisation by Xiaomi. This is really weird coz my X3 Superzoom is even more smoother despite having much older and slower CPU.
4. Photos are very detailed and quite pleasant to look at. The more I use it, the more I start to appreciate the cameras. The main camera is comparable to the photos taken by my brother using his Iphone 16 Pro Max. Selfie is also ok, i rarely use it, not a selfie person.
5. Battery life is very bad. Drops to 50% very easily while using it but 50% to 0% takes a little longer but still not happy with the battery life. The upside is that it supports PD 3.0 so majority of third party chargers out there support up to 35 watts of charging. I tested this using Rocoren 65w charger, Ldnio 65w charger, Ldnio 160w car charger and Ugreen 130w car charger.
6. I notice it has 5G SA mode in the phone, I believe only flagships and newer phones have this feature. Very good for future proofing.
7. I already upgraded to Android 15, had to change region to South Korea from Malaysia to get the update, so weird. The latest update I received was the Security Patch for January 2025. The phone comes with 4 years of OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates which is seriously awesome for budget mid-ranger!
8. The OLED is damn impressive because it can get so bright outdoors. My previous phone LCD was useless under the sun but this 14T so clear. It does start to get a little hot after awhile but great for quick message reading/replying.
Cons
1. The 2x optical zoom range is not enough, should have been 3x or 4x but then again no other phone include optical zoom at this price range, haha.
2. No charger included by Xiaomi! This should be a crime because the charging protocol is proprietary technology. It does have PD 3.0 charging but when I use my 65w GAN charger, max it can hit is around 35 watts only. Lucky my wife is using Xiaomi 11T so she has Xiaomi's 67w charger.
3. The speaker quality is okay, sounds like not enough bass. Still more than adequate, just nitpicking here.
4. If you live in a warm(29c-38c) country like me, the phone does get very warm while using it outdoors. It especially starts to heat up while using the camera and video frames start to skip in 4K mode.
I have been using this phone for about a month and took hundreds of photos with it. The amount of features like eSim(useful if you travel a lot), UFS 4.0, IR blaster, optical zoom, Wifi 6, BT 5.4 and many more at this price range is just unbeatable at the moment. Overall, very recommended at the price I bought, which was about RM1200(USD272).

I notice one thing about the flashlight. When I turn it off, there is a bit of light that is gradually disappearing.

This is a decent phone based on reviews and specs but my only worry is its battery life. Anyone with this phone as a daily driver , how is the battery life especially after updates and the phone learning your usage patterns?

One of the most worth it specs, it have telephoto camera, IP68 and it's a mid range. In this price, you could get Samsung A55 which is less worth it

Moved to 14T from S10+. Screen and performance is adequate. S10+ was my last Samsung. I found the movement of + options to ultra line to be ridiculous. I don`t need a notepad size monster to carry in my pockets.

There must be something running in background or maybe you have a lot of things to back up and sync with another device?
If removing some app or turning junk options off doesn't help, you may have a defective unit; return it while you can.
