It may be due to its link with Leica, its care in design or its experience over the years, but in the last five years Xiaomi has gone from being a manufacturer with very affordable mobile phones to be a high-end contender with the ability to compete head to head with Samsung or Apple in photography, power and battery. The design section is precise when it comes to materials, the rest is a matter of taste.
Precisely in design, the 14T Pro (available in black, gray and blue) is distinguished by straight lines, a module that protrudes from the body without losing balance, well-placed buttons and an appropriate use of quality materials, with a premium feel that largely avoids fingerprints. In All sections convey a high-end feeling.
Screen theme: 6.67-inch AMOLED and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. All content (movies, video games, photographs) are viewed with high quality. The audio is very good too, even at the loudest extremes.
As far as power is concerned, the Xiaomi 14T Pro moves away from the Qualcomm to mount the Dimensity 9300+. Is it enough? Yes, even in the most demanding tasks, behaves coldly: it doesn’t get hot even when multitasking. It makes the microchip very well compatible with its native software (HyperOS). Thus, the set leads to no fear of facing demanding games or delays in the biometrics, startup and navigation sections. It is more than reliable. Especially considering that it also has 12 GB RAM and up to 1 TB of storage.
to this adds a successful use of AI– Translate calls, transcribe and record conversations, and edit images. The advantage of this is that, since it is software, it is updated very often and will improve over time. Even more.
As for the battery, I don’t know if it’s enough: it has about 5,000 mAh, a standard in mobile phones of this range and price, but its great asset is the charge (120 W) that They allow you to go from 0 to 99 in just over 20 minutes. It is very difficult to stay “empty” with this mobile unless we do not have a charger on hand.
And finally photos. The main chambers, two 50 MP lenses, one 12 and one 32 MP selfie. All signed by Leica and this is a guarantee of quality. Not only because of the name, but because of the years of partnership between the two: they already know each other, they know their mutual shortcomings and their shared virtues.
Is an all-terrain mobile and in photography it behaves more than enough. The reality is that there is no phone that scores a 10 in all areas. Some fail in power and are excellent in photography. Others are proud of the battery and design, but fail on the screen. The Xiami 14 T Pro more than meets all of them, without being the best in any of them.
Verdict:
One of the most important assets of this phone is that it is under a thousand euros. And for quite a bit. Its price starts at 799 euros. Taking into account its features, it is one of the most competitive mobile phones (if not the most) at the moment.
